The problem
Pallet building still happens by feel - one carton at a time
How many cases fit on a pallet, which layer pattern holds, how high the stack can go - on most warehouse floors that's experience, not arithmetic. Built loose and you ship air on every pallet position downstream. Built too tall or too heavy and the stack gets rebuilt at the dock - or arrives crushed and turns into a damage claim.
The fix
From order list to optimized pallet builds in seconds
Import your cartons from Excel and Cargo-Planner returns the palletization: layer patterns per pallet, balanced overhang where you allow it, and overloading only where it actually improves utilization. Every build comes back as an interactive 3D plan - re-stacking an item is as easy as dragging it.

Stacks that survive the journey - not just the forklift
A pallet that leans is a damage claim in waiting. Cargo-Planner respects what each carton can bear, keeps heavy items low, caps layers where you set them and keeps overhang balanced - so the stack that leaves the warehouse is the stack that arrives.
Pallets planned for whatever they're loaded into next
A perfect pallet that's 10cm too tall for the container door is not a perfect pallet. Cargo-Planner plans pallets and the containers, trailers and ULDs they ride in with one tool - so the build fits the racking, the truck and the box before anyone lifts a carton.
We have been using Cargo-Planner in our busy London hub for the past two years. Our focus has been on improving the efficiency of ULD build planning and the tool produces great results through a very user friendly interface.
