Transportation logistics software is not enough: Why you need trailer loading software

No, and that’s by design. Transportation logistics software, like a TMS, handles routing, carrier management, and billing, but most leave out load execution. EasyCargo fills that gap by acting as a specialized layer in your logistics software systems. It optimizes how cargo fits into your trucks or containers, maximizing space, minimizing the risk of the costly reloading process, all while reducing the number of vehicles required.

Transportation management systems (TMS) are designed to manage routing, carrier selection, and billing, but they usually do not have advanced load planning capabilities. Without dedicated load planning, logistics teams risk underutilized cargo space, overloaded axles, and costly reloading delays. Load planning software solves these problems by calculating how freight should be arranged inside each truck or container for safe, efficient, and fully optimized transport.

No, EasyCargo is designed to process optimal distribution in seconds, even for thousands of items. You can input your cargo items efficiently (for example, via Excel import or API integration), and the engine will calculate the best way to stack them. This replaces hours of manual calculation with a nearly instant automated plan.

Logistics operations rely on several types of software to manage different parts of the supply chain. The most common include transportation management systems (TMS) for route planning and carrier coordination, warehouse management systems (WMS) for inventory control, and load planning software for optimizing how cargo fits into trucks or containers. Each tool serves a specific function, and using them together helps improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure smoother execution from warehouse to delivery.
