LOAD-01
How many vehicles for this batch of orders?
Before you dispatch, know how many vehicles you need and how to split orders by weight, pallets and volume. No more back-of-the-envelope math or one extra chartered truck.
The calculation nobody used to run before dispatch
Before LOAD-01, no tool let you estimate, before you even started dispatching, how many vehicles a batch of orders would require. The estimate was done by eye or in a spreadsheet, with the risk of chartering one vehicle too many or, worse, discovering at the end of the day that an order doesn't fit anywhere. LOAD-01 calculates this need upfront, from the weight, pallet count and volume of each order in the batch.
- Automatic calculation of vehicles needed for a batch
- Based on weight, pallet count and volume of each order
- Known before you start dispatching, not after
Suggested per-vehicle distribution
Beyond the vehicle count, LOAD-01 proposes a distribution of orders per vehicle that respects weight and volume constraints. The suggestion relies on common reference profiles (van, straight truck, semi-trailer) or on a custom vehicle profile you define to match your actual fleet.
- Suggested per-vehicle distribution respecting weight and volume
- Reference profiles: van, straight truck, semi-trailer
- Custom vehicle profile matching your own fleet
Out-of-gauge order detection
LOAD-01 flags, before dispatch, any order whose dimensions or weight exceed what a standard vehicle can carry, so you can arrange a specific charter in advance rather than discover it at the loading dock.
- Out-of-gauge order alerts before dispatch
- Advance planning for specific charters
- Fewer bad surprises at the loading dock

Frequently asked questions about LOAD-01
How does LOAD-01 calculate the number of vehicles needed?
LOAD-01 analyzes the weight, pallet count and volume of every order in the batch, then calculates how many vehicles (based on reference profiles or your custom profile) are needed to carry it all, with a suggested per-vehicle distribution.
Can I define my own vehicle types?
Yes. Beyond the common reference profiles (van, straight truck, semi-trailer), you can define a custom vehicle profile matching your actual fleet (weight, pallet and volume capacity) for more accurate calculations.
Does LOAD-01 detect orders that are too large?
Yes, LOAD-01 flags before dispatch any order whose weight or dimensions exceed a standard vehicle's capacity, so you can arrange an appropriate charter in advance rather than discover it at loading time.
Does LOAD-01 replace manual dispatch?
No, LOAD-01 is a sizing aid upstream of dispatch: it tells you how many vehicles you need and proposes a distribution. Final assignment of orders and drivers stays under your control.
