3PLs & Warehouses
Load planning for 3PLs and warehouses
You handle other people’s freight, in whatever cartons it arrives in. PackerAI turns a pile of dimensions into a load plan your floor team can follow.
The problem
What usually goes wrong
Every client ships a different carton
A layout you worked out for one account is worthless for the next. Without a repeatable way to compute a plan, each new SKU is a fresh guess.
The best packer on the floor is a single point of failure
Load planning ends up living in one person’s head. When they are on shift, loads go out tight. When they are not, they do not.
Volumetric math lies
Dividing container volume by carton volume always overstates what fits. Real packing is constrained by geometry and orientation, not arithmetic.
How PackerAI helps
What you get instead
Mixed-SKU manifests
Give PackerAI a list of carton types with quantities. It returns the best plan by volume used and the best by unit count, so you can choose which matters for the load.
A reusable carton catalog
Save each client’s cartons once. Pull them into any future plan instead of re-measuring or re-typing dimensions.
A build sequence, not just a number
Step through the plan box by box in 3D. The order is the order to load in, so the plan survives the trip from screen to dock.
Workflow
Three steps
- Enter the container’s internal dimensions.
- Pick cartons from the client’s saved catalog, or type new ones.
- Run the plan and step through the build sequence with the floor team.
