How Container Load Optimization Saves You Money

Shipping is already expensive -- don’t spend more than you have to by paying to ship air too. When your loads are unbalanced, you end up paying more to ship fewer items. Maximize the space available to you by using container load optimization software.

Using space efficiently is the most straightforward way to reduce your shipping costs. However, determining how to use space isn’t always straightforward. Awkwardly shaped items and different package sizes make it difficult to determine how best to fill the shipping container. For example, you might end up using three containers, one of them being only half full -- only to realize later that two containers would have worked fine.

With the right software, you can make a model of what the container will look like with your items inside and determine the best way to fill the dimensions. Furthermore, optimization software can identify the remaining empty space -- or air pockets, if you prefer. Depending on their size, these spaces can be used to fit in additional, smaller items, ensuring that you get the absolute most use out of the container. In addition, optimizing the space also prevents the items from shifting around during transport, reducing product damage and its associated costs. Overall, it’s a costly mistake to skip load planning.
