Your current layout is saved locally before comparison. Compare the same quantities and rules; costs need your own quotes.

Save & share this job

Keep the same job while revising it. Start the next job for a different shipment or analysis. Confirm own-job again after reopening; the job identity is retained.

Saved versions on this device

Keeps the latest 20 snapshots in this browser. Reopen a version to revise the same job; use Start next job for another shipment. New jobs keep cargo rules but recalculate positions.

    Share a snapshot / manage links

    Anyone with the link can view this version until expiry. Changes need a new link. Photos, measured actuals and crew notes are excluded from build-sheet shares. Revocation cannot remove copies already downloaded.

      Planner guide & frequently asked questions

      From Excel packing list to a 3D load plan

      For exporters, freight forwarders and warehouse teams checking a shipment before loading. Planning needs no account; free PDF and CSV export asks for an email. Product updates are optional.

      1. 1. Review your cargo

        Import Excel or CSV, choose the worksheet and map your columns. Check units, accepted quantities and excluded rows before calculating. The CSV template uses cm and kg.

      2. 2. Calculate and inspect

        Choose the container and set fragile, upright and stacking rules. Optimise, rotate the view and check unplaced cartons, payload and balance. A packing estimate is not a certified loading or securing plan.

      3. 3. Hand off the result

        Export a PDF plan or CSV placement list, or share a snapshot for review. For pallet shipments, send the same carton list to pallet quoting using the action above.

      Why do some cartons remain unplaced?

      Available volume alone does not determine fit. Carton dimensions, door clearance, orientation, payload and stacking rules can limit the result. Review the highlighted constraints and recalculate after edits; the heuristic does not guarantee the mathematical optimum.

      Which container dimensions should I use?

      The 20ft GP, 40ft GP and 40ft HQ presets are planning assumptions. Confirm your actual equipment dimensions, door opening and permitted payload with the carrier before loading.
