3D bin-packing & cubic optimisation
AI fits cartons, pallets and bulk SKUs into every available cubic foot, honouring fragility, stacking rules and hazmat segregation. No wasted space, no guesswork.
ZenDMS load planning software turns every dispatch into a fully optimised load plan. Replace spreadsheet guesswork with AI-powered 3D bin-packing, axle balance checks and multi-stop sequencing so vehicles leave full, compliant and stacked in the right drop order.
Every feature is designed around a single goal: getting the most value out of every vehicle movement while keeping every trip safe and road-legal.
AI fits cartons, pallets and bulk SKUs into every available cubic foot, honouring fragility, stacking rules and hazmat segregation. No wasted space, no guesswork.
Load orders in reverse drop sequence so the next stop is always at the door — no rummaging at every delivery, no missed hand-off windows.
Stays within GVW and per-axle limits, auto-distributing weight front-to-rear to keep every trip road-legal, safe and penalty-free at weigh bridges.
Pre-built profiles for trucks, vans, reefers and containers, or define your own. Plan one vehicle or an entire mixed fleet in a single pass.
Most fleets lose money not on the road, but in the yard — before the first wheel turns. Here is where the leakage happens.
When vehicles leave at 60–70% capacity, your fuel and driver cost per delivery unit rises sharply. Every empty cubic foot is a margin leak that compounds across every trip, every day.
When goods are loaded in the wrong sequence, drivers must rummage through the cargo at every drop — adding 5 to 10 minutes per delivery. On a 10-stop route that is up to 100 minutes of avoidable delay.
Exceeding per-axle limits creates liability at weigh bridges, risks challan and detention, and accelerates suspension and tyre wear. Manual load sheets cannot catch the imbalance; ZenDMS does it automatically.
Experienced dispatchers can spend up to 90 minutes building load plans manually — time that could be spent on exceptions, customer communication and continuous improvement instead of repetitive arithmetic.
ZenDMS eliminates the planning bottleneck. What used to take a dispatcher the better part of an hour now happens in seconds, automatically, and the result lands directly in the warehouse and on the driver's app.
ZenDMS pulls order lines — with dimensions, weights, fragility flags and hazmat codes — directly from your ERP or OMS. Vehicle profiles, GVW limits and axle configurations are already in the system.
The 3D bin-packing algorithm places every carton, pallet and bulk SKU into the available cargo space — respecting weight limits, fragility stacking rules, hazmat segregation requirements and the reverse drop sequence for each stop.
The confirmed load sheet is pushed to the warehouse team instantly, driving the picking and packing sequence so goods are staged in the exact loading order. The driver app receives the plan before dispatch — no paper, no radio calls.
Six capabilities that work together to eliminate manual effort, reduce waste and make every vehicle departure a confident one.
See a rendered cross-section of every load before the vehicle is touched. Dispatchers can review, adjust and confirm in seconds.
Automatic front-to-rear weight distribution modelling with alerts when a load plan approaches or breaches legal per-axle limits.
Rule-based placement for fragile items — never under heavy pallets — and automatic segregation of hazardous goods per carrier regulations.
Orders for the last stop load first, orders for the first stop load last. Goods are always at the door when the driver arrives — every stop, every time.
Plan across trucks, vans, reefers and containers simultaneously. Pre-built profiles or custom dimensions — any combination in a single planning pass.
Native connectors to SAP, Oracle, Tally, ZenWMS and third-party systems. Orders flow in, load plans flow out — no manual data entry, no re-keying.
From chilled vans to 32-foot containers, load planning pays back fastest when your margins are thin and your delivery volumes are high.
FMCG secondary fleets run high-frequency, multi-drop routes where vehicle utilisation directly determines cost per case. ZenDMS squeezes every SKU in and sequences stops to match the retail beat.
ZenDMS enforces physical segregation of ambient from cold-chain SKUs within reefer compartments, tracks temperature zone placement and keeps your audit trail clean for regulatory purposes.
High-volume e-commerce dispatches benefit from zone-batching and tight drop sequencing. ZenDMS groups orders geographically, then plans the load so the highest-density zones are served with the fewest vehicle movements.
Manufacturing dispatch windows are tight — production completes in batches and vehicles need to roll on time. ZenDMS syncs load plans with the production schedule so vehicles are staged, loaded and dispatched without waiting.
