According to them, LoadMaster cargo load planning software has brought numerous benefits to their work, significantly enhancing both efficiency and accuracy. Prior to using LoadMaster, container loading calculation was done manually, which was slower and prone to inefficiencies like underfilling or wasted container space, necessitating data modifications and even customs redeclaration for exports.
After using LoadMaster for container loading planning, they have never encountered situations where cargo couldn’t fit the container due to excessively high loading rates, thus eliminating container space wastage. Now, their company has achieved precise customs declarations and accurate container loading. The software has been consistently stable, and LoadMaster periodically undergoes updates and maintenance, introducing new functionalities, thereby enhancing operational speed. LoadMaste has helped them improve the container space utilization rate by at least 15%, achieving a loading rate of over 95%, saving a minimum of three hours each day. In this way, they have eliminated the unpredictable factors associated with over-reliance on manual container loading calculation based on human experience, achieving precise and efficient loading.
Dreamland mattress is also a supplier for IKEA. Due to the requirement of palletizing cargo before containerization, resulting in a lower loading rate, so in order to address this issue and improve the loading rate, they considered using a cargo loading calculator for container load planning optimization plans.
According to staff from sales department, they receive new orders every day, and it takes a considerable amount of time to calculate container loading. Manual calculation is challenging and often inaccurate. Any discrepancy between the actual container loading and the customs declared information may require order modifications, potentially delaying shipment schedules and leaving a negative impression on the clients.
However by using LoadMaster, the load plan calculation speed is faster and with clear 3D container and truck loading plans, the internal communication within the company and the communication with clients have been both improved. LoadMaster software’s “Loading Sequence”, which can realize loading cargoes according to their urgency priority, enables them to load cargoes based on the merchandise’s sales ranking and order placement time.
By using LoadMaster to calculate loading plans, if they identify any remaining container space, they can promptly notify IKEA that additional goods can be added to maximize the container space with a clear 3D load plan diagram to display and present reasonable suggestions.
