Orders in, optimized loads out.
The Order Planning & Load Optimization module is the critical intelligence layer within Traqo that operates between sales order receipt from ERP and indent creation. It transforms raw sales orders into optimized, consolidated loads that maximize vehicle utilization and minimize freight costs.

How it works — high-level flow
Sales orders received from ERP via API integration or manual CSV upload.
Orders are validated against customer master and product master. Invalid records flagged; valid orders move to planning queue.
Compatible orders grouped into consolidated loads based on destination, priority, delivery window, and vehicle capacity.
Vehicle utilization (weight % and volume %) calculated and optimized for each proposed load.
Approved loads passed downstream to the Indent Management module for transporter assignment and dispatch.
