EasyCargo - Load efficiently

🚢 “Can this fit into one container?” For freight forwarders, this question comes up all of the time from customers. KTM Shipping AS, a logistics company in Norway handling sea freight, road transport, and project cargo, used to spend significant time calculating loads and preparing quotations. Manual planning made it difficult to answer customers quickly and clearly show how the cargo would actually fit. After introducing EasyCargo, their team can now: 📊 Create container load plans in minutes 🧊 Share clear 3D visualizations with customers 📄 Include professional load reports directly in quotations See the full case study: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPWhhAyU #EasyCargo #LoadPlanning #FreightForwarding #ContainerLogistics #DigitalLogistics

💪 So far, no load has managed to defeat our load planning software.  And that’s saying something. Companies using EasyCargo ship all kinds of products—not just identical boxes. For example: - Chocolate and cocoa products (Barry-Callebaut) - Automotive components and vehicle parts (VOLVO Car Corporation, TATRA TRUCKS) - Furniture and interior equipment (Charter Furniture) - Exhibition booths and event equipment (On-Site Exhibitions AB, Exhibit Studios) - Professional coffee machines (ASCASO Factory) Different industries, different shipments, but the same challenge every time: how to fit everything into a truck or container without wasting space. That’s exactly what EasyCargo helps solve.

A good load plan rarely gets noticed, but a bad one always does. ⚖️ When axle limits are exceeded. ⏱ When unloading at the third stop adds 40 unexpected minutes. 🚛 When a truck departs with visible unused capacity. Load planning sits upstream of cost control, service reliability, and compliance. It affects fuel usage, delivery windows, warehouse throughput, and ultimately customer satisfaction. Most of that impact is decided before the first pallet is loaded. There is no question about it; experience matters. But experience supported by the right tools reduces variability and makes outcomes more predictable. If load accuracy affects your margins or service levels, it’s worth testing your process. 👉 Plan a real shipment in EasyCargo’s web app: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dY-FmDtP

Liebherr-Logistics GmbH manages around 150,000 spare parts. At that scale, load planning can’t rely on manually rearranging and recalculating every time dispatch volume increases. 📦 As complexity grew, manual load planning became slower and harder to manage efficiently. The team evaluated several tools and ultimately chose EasyCargo for its web-based setup, intuitive interface, and the ability to share load plans directly from the system. After several months of trial use, they compared manual planning with software-supported planning across regular truck dispatches. 📊 The outcome: • Planning time reduced by up to 90% • Five-figure cost savings projected for 2026 For a company moving that many parts every day, that kind of time and cost difference adds up quickly. 🚛 We’re proud to support teams that keep tightening their processes instead of accepting “that’s just how we’ve always done it.” Read the full story here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dZvT6AXW #Logistics #LoadOptimization #ExportOperations

The same load. A different truck configuration. A different outcome. Anyone who plans loads regularly knows this. If you change the axle setup or truck type, suddenly the weight distribution looks quite different. What seemed fine on paper can shift once the real vehicle is involved. In EasyCargo, you’re not limited to a few basic truck models. You can choose configurations that reflect the vehicles your team actually uses. Every truck reflects realistic axle setups, dimensions, weight limits, and layouts, so you can check how the load behaves before dispatch. This helps with: • More reliable axle load verification • Clearer weight distribution checks • Better alignment between planning and what happens on the dock And if your team reviews loads directly on the warehouse floor, EasyCargo can also run on a tablet for on-site visualization and verification. Seeing the digital plan next to the physical vehicle tends to remove a lot of uncertainty. 📲 Tablet app available here:  Google Play: https://lnkd.in/dhm-hhJi App Store: https://lnkd.in/dUUdNvYe #LoadPlanning #TransportLogistics #trucking

Global maritime trade volumes rebounded by 2.4% after the 2022 slowdown. At the same time, cargo is traveling longer distances on average than before. 🌍 Longer routes mean higher exposure to fuel costs, delays, and rate volatility. Add in the fact that some developing economies are paying 30–70% more for imports, and the pressure on logistics teams becomes very real. 📊 Containerization is still the backbone of global trade. 📦 But when distances increase, and volatility continues, how you use space inside a container starts to have a direct financial impact. We break down the current numbers and what they mean for logistics teams here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dAREkTBY #LogisticsOperations #LoadPlanning

One of the most common questions in load planning is: Are you limited by weight or by space? ⚖️ We often see shipments that look fine in planning but then hit the weight limit halfway through the loading process. On paper, nothing was “wrong.” In reality, capacity was wasted. 📦 If a truck is full by volume due to disorganized cargo but not by weight, you’re paying for empty space. If it hits the weight limit first, then density is really the deciding factor. 📉 Being able to test both scenarios before anything is loaded is one of the easiest ways to avoid unnecessary trucks and unexpected costs. 👉 You can explore this directly in the EasyCargo web app: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8Nmzmjx #Transportation #LoadPlanning

People often think load planning is just a packing exercise: putting pallets into a truck and making sure they fit. With some of our new clients, we often see unrealistic expectations about what load planning can do. In reality, it’s where space 📐, weight 🧱, and everything that happens after the plan is made 🔄 collide: delays, last-minute order changes, and how much care is taken when a truck is actually getting loaded on the dock. That’s why two shipments with the same number of pallets can still end up needing a different number of trucks. Remember, you’re not just placing cargo. You’re locking in what that shipment will cost based on how well your planning tools remove risk before anything is loaded. ️

A quick note coming out of Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain & Logistics. 👇 Across a lot of conversations, the same topics kept resurfacing—weight distribution, axle limits, and how often load plans start from truck assumptions that don’t match reality. ⚖️ What stood out wasn’t that these issues existed. It was how consistently they came up, regardless of company size or role. That consistency mattered. Not because the problems were new, but because they showed up everywhere, and often led to a different way of looking at how early assumptions ripple through execution. It reinforced why we’ve been doubling down on realistic US truck configurations. Not as a nice-to-have feature, but as part of getting the foundation right for clients in the US. When the starting point is off, everything that follows becomes a workaround. 🧡 Thanks to everyone who stopped by booth 2114 and shared how this shows up in their day-to-day work. Those conversations were thoughtful and genuinely useful.    If you’re curious to see how this looks in practice, you can explore EasyCargo yourself here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8Nmzmjx  #SupplyChain #LogisticsTechnology 

Container shipping feels unpredictable because, in practice, it is. 🌍 We regularly see two companies ship almost identical cargo and end up with very different shipping costs. Sometimes the difference is as simple as one shipment moving as a FCL while the other goes as a LCL, or one container sitting for three extra days in port storage. 📦 It’s rarely about distance and fuel alone. It’s about container type, port fees, how long a box sits in storage, whether it goes as a FCL or as a LCL, congestion, and how well the space inside is used. All of that quietly compounds into real money. 📊 We put the whole picture into one article, from container types and port storage fees to why poor utilization is one of the biggest hidden drivers of cost: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eEjfX7Sw #SupplyChain #ContainerShipping
