Load Planning: MaxLoad Pro

MaxLoad Pro is a cargo load planning, container loading, freight calculation and cube optimisation software. It determines the "how to" of loading mixed size products onto trucks, containers, sea vans and rail cars. Users can import existing SKUs (Shelf Keeping Units) of cartons, pallets, and drums into the MaxLoad database. MaxLoad Pro’s 3D "drag and drop" editor and colour-keyed graphics give users full flexibility to create loading diagrams with a virtual staging area.

Parameter driven algorithms and extensive stacking rules determine the best cube for cargo shipments. With MaxLoad Pro, users can improve load cubic efficiencies and cut shipping costs 10-25%.

Load Optimisation

• Customisable stacking and loading rules
• Multiple stop and priority loading
• Automatically convert case quantities to full-pallet and mixed-pallet loads, before final container loading
• Finding the best container to use for the order
• True "3D Click Drag and Drop" editor for editing or building load plans
• Easy step by step instructions for loading the container
• Railcar optimisation
• Costing calculations

Extensive Vehicle Type Support

• Select from a variety of trucks, containers, sea vans, Railcars, air freights, in either single or split levels

Create Various Load Types

• Single SKU loads - MaxLoad Pro uses proven algorithms to calculate full container loads of single-size product
• Mixed-case pallets loads - Perfect for creating multi-product load plans for display. These pallet loads can then be used in building container loads
• Tote loads - Calculates best tote/shipcase to use for an order. It also determines optimal load diagramming

Efficient and Flexible Load Algorithms Increase Cube Yield

• Extensive stacking, loading rules and axle weight calculations help minimise transient damage
• Calculates axle weight and shows exact location of center of gravity for all loads
• Loads according to drop-off or with same order kept together. Supports nested rolls
• Smart pallet placement algorithm to secure more stable loads

Easy to Use and Fully Customisable

• 3D click, "drag and drop editor" to easily create and visualise load plans
• 3D colour-coded graphical display shows what you are entering into SKU, tote or pallet database as you design it
• Supports over 10 languages with language editor to modify text strings for customisation
• Displays values in Metric or English systems
• True 3D Click Drag and Drop editor for editing or building load plans
• Saves preferred settings including vehicle type, dimension, measurement units and language formats as system defaults
• Custom in-house programming available to incorporate desired functions or system integration

Multiple Reports and Printouts

• 3D graphical views of load plans, step-by-step loading instructions and diagrams and comprehensive summary reports
• Ability to add annotations or graphics such as company logos
• Several costing calculations provide estimates and quotes
• Emails reports directly from MaxLoad Pro to different departments or customers

Network Support and Collaboration

• Network capability for concurrent users with secure user login
• Share analysis files or keep them private per Supervisor access setup
• Email any report directly from MaxLoad Pro to different departments or customers using your existing email client
• Easily integrate with WMS, Order Entry, AS400, Routing, Oracle, EDI and Supply Chain systems for data imports
