The software also caters for palletised and non-palletised cargo, stackable and non-stackable, and out of gauge cargo.

 

The software supports selection of multiple container types and can also plan oversized cargo in flat racks, open tops, flatbed trailers and PMC’s and gives clients an interactive 3D view of their plan.
