Plan

Optimize every cubic inch of your freight.

Traqo's AI-powered 3D Load Planner transforms load planning from manual guesswork into precision engineering. It visualizes how goods physically fit inside a vehicle, optimizes stacking, enforces weight distribution and hazmat rules, generates a warehouse-ready loading sequence, and saves templates for recurring shipments.

Why load planning matters

An estimated 20–30% of trucks on the road today run under-utilized. This inefficiency translates directly into higher freight costs, increased carbon emissions, and unnecessary trips that congest roadways and strain logistics teams.

Traditional load planning relies on manual estimation, paper-based worksheets, and the experience of warehouse staff. While this approach can work for simple, repetitive shipments, it consistently fails when confronted with mixed-SKU loads, varying container types, or multi-drop delivery routes.

The Traqo 3D Load Planner uses artificial intelligence to analyze every shipment's weight, dimensions, fragility constraints, and delivery sequence to produce an optimized 3D load layout. Manufacturers using this module have reported:

15–25%
Improvement in volume utilization per trip
10–18%
Reduction in overall freight costs
40%
Reduction in load planning time vs manual
< 3%
Rework rate (vs 10–20% manual)

Proper stacking and placement rules also result in a significant decrease in transit damage — reducing product loss, customer complaints, and costly return shipments.

End-to-end load planning lifecycle

From order intake to truck dispatch — every step is digitized and AI-assisted.

Stage 1
Order Intake
SKUs with dimensions, weights, and special handling rules arrive from ERP or manual entry
Stage 2
AI Optimize
Engine evaluates thousands of permutations against vehicle dims, weight limits, stacking rules
Stage 3
3D Render
Interactive 3D model generated — every SKU placed and oriented in the container
Stage 4
Planner Review
Drag-and-drop adjustments, rotate packages, lock critical items near door for first drop
Stage 5
Approve
Load plan signed off — utilization % and weight confirmed against vehicle capacity
Stage 6
Dispatch
Plan exported as PDF/image to warehouse team and driver via Traqo app or WhatsApp

Visual 3D vs traditional planning

Unlike spreadsheet-based planning, the 3D visual builder gives planners an interactive, real-time view of the load layout. Users can rotate the view, zoom into specific layers, drag items to adjust placement, and instantly see the impact on weight distribution and space utilization. This visual approach reduces errors and enables faster decision-making.
