ORTEC Container Building Optimization Software

Save your Company Between 5 and 15 Percent on its Freight Costs   

Imagine if every container you built truly utilized all of its available capacity. You may be thinking that your containers are already weighing out, so you must be reaching that metric. While the KPI’s may indicate that the maximum weight/cube has been reached, there may actually be opportunities to add more goods to each container. How can you identify those opportunities and capitalize on them so your containers are truly at maximum capacity? You can do it with ORTEC’s container optimization software.

ORTEC approaches container optimization as a strategy that begins in the planning stage or at the customer service level. By planning shipments early, companies are able to correctly prioritize replenishments to fill containers, plan and negotiate order sizes, group the right purchase orders together and identify and load the most important order quantities for delivery. This enables companies to maximize potential cost savings by identifying opportunities to build full containers during the planning phase.

ORTEC’s container optimization software also determines the best placement of items and packaging opportunities and the optimal pallet orientation in the container. It identifies physical item restraints, takes into account stackability and crushability factors, DOT axle constraint regulations and much, much more. Ultimately, it enables organizations to:

Determine how many actual trucks they’ll need for the upcoming week’s demand;
Identify potential upsizing of customer orders to achieve full-truck-load capacities;
Identify the best orders to group together to fully utilize each container; and
Prioritize which line items need to be delivered in the same delivery window.
