  1. Increasing loading rate, Reducing logistics costs

It is well-known that in transportation field, the more you can load, the more you can earn. LoadMaster optimizes the placement of goods in containers, achieving the optimal arrangement of cargo in a way that maximizes container space utilization, exceeding 95% at best. The higher the utilization, the more you can load.

For instance, a batch of goods with dimensions of 43.5 cm x 32cm x 43.5 cm, when loaded manually into a 40-foot container, may fit 945 boxes. Using LoadMaster load planning software, the calculation may result in loading up to 1,043 boxes. This data shows that LoadMaster’s loading solution, compared to manual calculations, can improve loading rate by 10.37%. As a result, it significantly reduces logistics costs, as you no longer have to pay for “shipping air”.

  1. Adapting to a young Workforce, reducing Labor costs

As society and the economy evolve, frontline employees are becoming younger and more energetic. However, their lack of experience, particularly in roles like container loading staff, can be a significant challenge. Loading containers may seem simple, but it is more complex than it appears. Effective container loading requires making the most use of container space, securing goods in place to avoid cargo damage, and creating a visually appealing and secure loading arrangement. A well-executed container loading operation can reflect a company’s business and management level, and, most importantly, leave a positive impression on customers.

For instance, a batch of goods that can be loaded entirely by an experienced loader in 23 hours might take 45 hours for an inexperienced loader, possibly leading to misloading and reloading, resulting in much time wasted. In today’s environment of rising labor costs, the employment costs for experienced container loaders are significantly higher than those for inexperienced loaders. With LoadMaster, even inexperienced loading green hands can load the container in a highly effective way. This can lead to cost savings for businesses, as less experienced loaders can be hired.

Using LoadMaster, especially for goods with diverse specifications and dimensions, takes only a few minutes, ensuring accurate loading results. With clear 3D visualization and detailed loading steps, even novice loaders can refer to the step-by-step instructions to avoid misloading or reloading, compensating for the lack of experience and helping businesses improve container loading and unloading efficiency while reducing labor costs.

  1. Enabling loading process manageable, Enhancing management

An enterprise’s level of management directly affects its success. Enhancing management quality is critical for increasing a company’s overall performance. How can businesses use LoadMaster to improve their management processes, eliminate management blind spots, and achieve transparency in container loading and unloading?

With it, companies can predict how many goods can fit in a container, how these goods should be arranged, and how long the process will take. This allows companies to proactively plan their logistics operations. Businesses can also use LoadMaster to gain real-time insights into the logistics and distribution of goods and provide guidance to warehouse workers to ensure they load containers according to the plan. This reinforces the execution of warehouse workers and helps control the loading pace, ultimately improving the efficiency of shipping. Furthermore, LoadMaster’s 3D container loading diagrams can help quickly locate goods that customs authorities may want to inspect, which expedites the customs clearance process.

LoadMaster is not just a load planning software but a significant driver for increasing enterprise revenue. Faced with rising costs of raw materials and labor, what are you waiting for?
