Your team pastes packing lists from Excel. Your systems call the public API. Both end up with the same load plan.
03How it works
No training course. The first load plan takes under ten minutes, most of which is finding the packing list.
Copy the table from Excel or import the .xlsx. Headers are recognised in English and German, and units like cm, kg or inches are read straight from the header.

6 of 6 columns recognised · units read from the headers
The engine works out how many Units you need and where every item goes, and checks every loading rule before you see the plan.
The engine proposes, the planner decides. Move an item, lock it, and recalculate around it.
One link opens the warehouse checklist on any phone, no account needed. The client gets a loading report as a PDF.
04Try it
Paste rows straight from Excel and press Calculate. The real engine runs in your browser, so your list never leaves this page.
Press Calculate to see how many Units you need and how every piece goes in.
05Savings
Enter your own shipments and costs. If one avoided container costs more than a year of Team, the plan pays for itself the first time it happens.
An estimate from your own numbers, not a measured result. The share of shipments is your assumption. The fastest way to know is to calculate last month's shipments during the trial.
Check it on last month's shipments. 14-day Team trial, no credit card.

Book a demoNo. Paste the table or import the .xlsx. Cargo Marshal maps the columns, recognises English and German headers, and reads units from them: mm, cm, m, inches or feet, and kg, t or lb for weight. You check the mapping before anything is imported.
Yes. Open the sample load plan to see the 3D view and the checklist the warehouse gets. No account needed.
No. The 14-day Team trial starts when you create your organisation, one trial per person. No card, and nothing is charged automatically.
Nothing is charged. Your workspace turns read-only: you can still open and export every project and load plan, but not edit or calculate until you choose a plan.
Pro: 1 planner seat. Team: 5 planner seats, adds interactive 3D, share link, organization logo on the loading report. Enterprise: 15 planner seats, adds API, SSO, invoice or purchase order, DPA.
No. A share link opens the checklist and the loading report in any browser. Visitors can view but not change anything. Set an expiry and revoke the link whenever you like.
Nothing. It runs in the browser, and calculations run on our servers. It's built so a typical shipment of up to about 1,000 items solves in seconds.
Add your own equipment types: inner length, width and height, door and side openings, payload and empty weight. They work everywhere the built-in ones do.
It's listed under “Cargo not loaded” with the reason, such as too large, too heavy, too big for every loading opening, blocked by a loading rule, no volume left, or no equipment left. Nothing is dropped without you seeing it.
No, and it doesn't try to. Cargo Marshal plans loads and does that one thing well. It isn't a TMS, WMS or ERP.
Start with the Team plan free for 14 days. Bring one real packing list and you'll have a load plan to share in under ten minutes.
