Road carriers, sea and air freight forwarders, and exporting manufacturers use ESP for different reasons. Find the one closest to your work.
Once a truck rolls, the cost is fixed; the only variable is how much cargo is on that trailer. ESP settles the trip on paper before it leaves.
A real ESP plan — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom.
Every empty metre is freight you paid for but did not sell. ESP places cargo to the centimetre and shows how many more pallets fit before loading starts.
Even under the total weight limit, a load shifted forward or back means an axle fine. ESP computes tractor and trailer axle loads live, warns on limits and proposes a balanced alternative plan.
What comes off first must sit nearest the door. You assign stop numbers and ESP builds the stack in delivery order, so the driver never has to call anyone.
The plan exports as a step-by-step loading order, 3D view, group labels and a corporate PDF. Warehouse and driver read the same document; the phone calls stop.
At sea you pay per container; what goes inside it is your margin. In groupage the real job is not one plan but a plan that grows all week. ESP's saved-plan workflow is built exactly for that:
A real ESP plan — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom.
When the first booking of the week lands, you enter the cargo, build the plan and save it (e.g. WEEK-34 / IZMIR-HAMBURG).
As new bookings arrive you open the saved plan, add the cargo and re-optimise — no starting from scratch.
Remaining space is visible instantly: how many m³, how many pallets, how many centimetres of length are left. Sales quote from that number instead of guessing.
When a container fills up you add a new unit in one click and the remainder flows into it. You manage several containers in parallel inside one file.
At cut-off the loading plan, group labels and stop list export as PDF; warehouse, agent and customer all get the same document.
The same workflow applies to LTL road groupage: collect the week's shipments in one saved plan and move to a second trailer when the first is full.
For a manufacturer the load plan is not a logistics detail; it is a decision tool used when quoting and when closing a shipment.
A real ESP plan — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom.
When quoting an order you state the number of trucks or containers from a plan, not a guess. A half-empty vehicle and a surprise second one both cost money.
A heavy pallet on light cartons, weight piled on one side or a tall narrow box tipping over means damage in transit. ESP applies stacking strength, tipping and balance rules while planning.
The corporate PDF report goes to the buyer, the customs broker and the carrier with dimensions, weights, fill rate and a 3D view. It ends the pre-shipment argument.
With labels and a step-by-step loading order the warehouse team sees what goes where; wrongly loaded batches, returns and delay costs disappear.
A plan that looks good on paper but cannot be executed on the dock is useless. The ESP simulation stays inside physical reality.
No load on top, bottom only, maximum N layers, stacking strength in kg: every item carries its own rule and the engine never produces a plan that breaks them.
Tonnage runs out before volume does; heavy goods are spread evenly across the fleet, centre of gravity and axle loads are computed continuously, and a balanced alternative is offered when a warning appears.
Generate plans with different priorities for the same cargo and compare them side by side: tightest stack or a low, floor-spread centre of gravity? The call is yours, the maths takes seconds.
ESP runs on your desktop and needs no internet. Cargo lists with customer names, dimensions and pricing never leave your computer.
