What Was the Issue?
Avalla Ltd. faced several significant challenges in optimizing shipping costs and warehouse space. First, the company needed a solution to efficiently load variously sized and shaped packages into shipping containers. Additionally, they needed to visualize the available space and use it more effectively to reduce shipping costs. Furthermore, they required a program to show products loaded onto different-sized pallets to determine storage space requirements for their warehouse.
Key challenges:
- Space utilization in containers: Avalla needed an efficient tool to optimize the loading of different-sized packages into containers and make the best use of available space.
- Reducing shipping expenses: The company sought ways to reduce shipping costs for transporting goods from China to the UK/EU.
Optimizing warehouse storage: Furthermore, Avalla required a way to manage its warehouse space more effectively. This involved understanding storage space requirements when loading products onto pallets of various sizes.
How Did We Help?
EasyCargo provided Avalla Ltd with a user-friendly and intuitive platform that addressed its key challenges and improved its operations:
-
Efficient cargo loading: With EasyCargo’s automated load optimization, we helped Avalla maximize container space by creating the most efficient loading plans. The software took into account product dimensions, weight, and specific loading requirements (e.g., upright positioning, no stacking), which eliminated the risk of underloading or overloading containers.
-
Cost reduction: By optimizing load plans with us, Avalla was able to reduce the number of shipments needed, resulting in significant savings on shipping costs. Moreover, the software’s 3D visualization ensured that every inch of container space was utilized, ultimately avoiding unnecessary shipping expenses.
-
Warehouse space optimization: EasyCargo also enabled Avalla to visualize and plan pallet loading. This has helped them estimate warehouse space requirements more accurately. As a result, the company achieved more efficient use of storage space and improved their planning for product placement in the warehouse.
In summary, by implementing EasyCargo, Avalla Ltd transformed its planning process—making it faster, more accurate, and far more efficient.
