SpaceStacker for Logistics
SpaceStacker is a 3D load planning engine. Give it your items and your space, and it finds the most efficient arrangement, automatically: think Tetris, but with real physics. Fewer half-empty trucks, fewer wasted containers, lower cost per shipment.
The technology
A packing algorithm that respects real-world constraints.
-
You give it the inputs
A list of items of any shape and size, and the space you need to fill. Nothing to model, nothing to place by hand.
-
It solves the arrangement
The algorithm weighs thousands of possible configurations and returns the most effective one, in real time, in 3D, in the browser.
-
It respects the real world
Weight and load distribution, fragility, stability, allowed rotations, access requirements. The plan has to survive contact with a real dock, not just look right on screen.
This engine already runs in production, generating thousands of 3D plans a month for self-storage operators. It solves the same problem logistics faces: irregular volumes, stacking order, weight limits, and what has to stay reachable.
The difference
Most load planning tools stop where the hard part begins.
-
Nothing to place by hand
Most tools are simulators: your team positions every item itself and the software only checks the result. SpaceStacker returns the arrangement, so there is nothing to drag into place.
-
Not only rectangular boxes
The tools that do compute an arrangement generally assume every item is a rectangular box. SpaceStacker works with irregular shapes and mixed sizes.
-
Physics, not just geometry
Weight and load distribution, fragility, stability, allowed rotations, and what has to stay reachable. An arrangement that ignores those is a picture, not a loading plan.
One engine for trucks, containers, pallets and parcels.
-
Truck & trailer loading
Plan loads before anything is loaded. Your team sees which truck fits a job, how the load should be arranged, and whether one trip will do, before the vehicle leaves the yard. Every trip that goes out fuller is one trip you do not run, with the fuel, labor and CO2 that go with it.
-
Maritime & shipping containers
Fit more into every container. SpaceStacker recommends the arrangement that maximizes each container's volume while respecting weight distribution and stacking rules, and your team sees it in 3D before loading starts.
-
Pallets & warehouse space
Build a pallet that uses every cubic centimeter. SpaceStacker arranges items on a pallet or inside a storage bay to maximize volume while keeping the load stable and within weight limits. Your warehouse team sees the plan in 3D before they start stacking.
-
Parcel & last-mile
Right-size every shipment. SpaceStacker matches items to the smallest box or carton that fits, reducing filler material and dimensional weight charges. For delivery vehicles, it shows your team how to arrange the load to use the full volume, not just the floor.
The scope
Any goods, any container.
Goods
- Palletized freight
- Cartons and cases
- Food and beverage
- Machinery and equipment
- Building materials
- Automotive parts
- Appliances and furniture
- Drums and reels
Containers
- Dry van trailers
- Refrigerated trailers
- Flatbed trailers
- Box trucks
- Delivery vans
- 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers
- Pallets
- Cartons and crates
What it changes
What better loading actually buys you.
-
Fewer trips
Every load that leaves fuller is a trip you do not run, with the fuel, the driver hours and the vehicle wear that go with it.
-
Lower cost per shipment
Better use of the fleet you already have, and fewer containers booked for the same volume of goods.
-
Lower emissions
Fewer vehicle movements for the same freight, which is the part of your footprint you control directly.
-
Visibility before you commit
Know what will actually fit before you quote a job, book a container, or put a vehicle on the schedule.
