Load efficiently
The Expo season is starting and clearly, EasyCargo can't miss it. That's why we are very excited to announce that we will be present at not just one, but two logistics trade shows in Colombia!
On October 4 - 8, 2021, a Virtual Meeting will be held as a preamble to the on-site edition of ANPACT's Expo Transporte 2022 in Puebla, Mexico. Entrepreneurs, micro-entrepreneurs, suppliers, purchasing managers, owners, managers, cargo and passenger carriers, companies with fleets, public and private transportation executives, and of course our software, EasyCargo, will be present.
There are several ways to view the final load plan in EasyCargo, from simply sharing the plan via a link to creating complex print reports. In this article, we will look at all types of load plan results and discuss their functions in more detail.
The most important, and probably the most prominent part of the application, is the interactive 3D view of the load. It’s a simulation in which you can view all the items placed in the trailer or container.
We have already written a lot about planning the load as efficiently as possible. That’s why this article will be a little different. We have prepared for you some practical exercises that will test your knowledge of EasyCargo.
The exercises below, although slightly modified, are part of the handbook for teachers and professors involved in the EasyCargo for schools project. These materials will soon be available for download on our website.
Have you purchased EasyCargo and do not know how to start with load planning? Our tutorial video No. 10 Settings options when optimizing a load plan will help you.
As the name suggests, the video shows options for planning the load from setting up the application to introducing the application’s elements. It guides you through the entire loading process and continuously alerts you to existing videos that describe the features shown in more detail.
You often ask us whether it is possible to set up a gradual loading or unloading of items in EasyCargo if you have several unloadings planned during one transport. The answer is yes. For similar situations, there is a function called Priority Groups. With this function, you can easily create up to 50 groups, which can be useful not only for different destinations but also for adjusting the order in which the items are loaded. The following video shows how to create and use priority groups:
Working with cargo spaces is much easier now, thanks to a new EasyCargo load planning software update. What have we improved?
You can add the most frequently used spaces to your favorites and have them in the Cargo spaces list right at the beginning. Also, all pre-prepared spaces are always available, and there is no need to add them from a special list.
Our software for truck and container load planning EasyCargo will be unavailable this Saturday, February 6th at 13:00 CET. The scheduled downtime will last for several hours.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or issues, please contact our support team.
