KÖNIG Profilsysteme
Who Is the Client?
KÖNIG Profilsysteme GmbH & Co KG, based in Moringen, Germany, is a manufacturer specializing in high-grade metal profile systems for three key sectors: drywall construction, general industrial applications, and solar park developments. Supplying building-material retailer specialists, DIY store chains, and large-scale photovoltaic project developers, KÖNIG handles long, heavy, and structurally diverse profile shipments that require precise transport planning and weight distribution.
What Was KÖNIG Looking to Optimize in Its Logistics?
Before adopting EasyCargo, KÖNIG Profilsysteme managed its entire dispatch and load planning workflow through Excel spreadsheets. This approach created significant operational bottlenecks across the entire dispatch process.
Without a dedicated database, dispatchers had to repeatedly input product dimensions and weights for every recurring order, adding unnecessary time to each planning cycle. The 2D spreadsheet format also failed to provide clear, actionable loading instructions for warehouse crew, leading to misunderstandings on the loading floor. When last-minute order adjustments occurred, recalculating the entire load was a time-intensive task. On top of that, ensuring compliance with legal payload limits and axle load regulations required additional manual verification, leaving room for error and delaying truck departures.
How Did Our 3D Load Planning App Help?
EasyCargo provided KÖNIG Profilsysteme with an intuitive, visual 3D software that transformed their load planning from static spreadsheets into dynamic, real-time digital plans.
Interactive 3D Load Planning with Cargo Database:
Instead of re-entering data for every order, planners instantly import recurring items directly from a built-in cargo item database. The 3D algorithm then calculates the optimal arrangement inside the vehicle, saving significant time on every dispatch cycle.
Automated Real-Time Axle Load Calculation:
EasyCargo continuously calculates axle load distribution and chosen payload limits in real time as cargo is placed. Dispatchers can monitor weight compliance at every stage of the planning process.
Clear Visual Load Plans for Loading Crews:
The software generates detailed, color-coded 3D loading plans that warehouse and loading personnel can immediately understand. Loading crews can efficiently and safely stow different cargo items without the guesswork or any miscommunication.
Flexible Vehicle Configuration and Rapid Adjustments:
Dispatchers can select from a list of standard vehicle combinations or save custom truck profiles tailored to their long metal goods. When orders change at the last minute, planners can update the 3D layout in seconds without having to start from scratch.
What Were the Results?
Since integrating EasyCargo into their daily workflow, KÖNIG Profilsysteme has optimized their dispatch operation. Planning time decreased significantly, with the cargo item database eliminating repetitive data entry for recurring loads. Vehicle utilization increased noticeably, as precise 3D load planning removed the inefficient work from arranging long, heavy profile shipments. Warehouse teams now work from clear visual loading guides, reducing errors on the loading floor. The result: faster dispatch cycles, higher vehicle capacity utilization, and full legal compliance on every shipment.
What Does KÖNIG Say About EasyCargo?
“EasyCargo offers an intuitive interface, detailed visual load plans, and real-time tracking of legal specifications such as payload and axle loads. It really simplifies our daily work in dispatch and gives us great flexibility.”
