Efficient load planning? Only with Goodloading
For many years, a pen and a paper sheet were effective tools in the planning of loading. In the era of automated logistics processes programs such as Goodloading are available, thanks to which planning becomes much easier.
Do you work in the transport, freight forwarding and logistics industry? Are you in charge of loading planning? As a manufacturer, do you order transport of your goods but have no idea what vehicle will be necessary? Are you the carrier who received an order for transport of goods with non-typical dimensions and do not know how to arrange the loads on the semi-trailer? The Goodloading app helps you make the best decisions when ordering loading or transport, no matter which group you belong to. Thanks to the different loading spaces available in the app, it will work well for road, sea, air and also for palletisation.
What is Goodloading?
Goodloading is an intuitive loading planner, available in your browser. It allows you to plan an efficient loading taking into account the necessary parameters.
It is addressed both to people for whom loading planning is everyday work, and for those who have minimum knowledge about the loading capacities of individual vehicles. The largest group using Goodloading are people who have to plan the arrangement of cargo according to specific criteria. The application also works in production companies that do not have their own vehicle, and when searching for carriers must know exactly which vehicle will best fit the cargo.
After adding the list of loads to Goodloading, the app automatically suggests the best-suited vehicle. Thanks to this, a manufacturer may choose a smaller vehicle, which means lower transport costs. It also works the other way: the carrier who is looking for some goods can check whether a given cargo will fit his vehicle, and knows whether he will be able to add loads on route. Goodloading can be used not only in a road transport, but also in sea, air, rail transport, and even when palletizing or putting smaller items into packets.
