Most products are shipped in
boxes and then in standard pallets. Most of the time, these standard pallets are
shipped within standard containers or in trucks. Frequently, there is some extra
volume and/or weight in the containers or in the trucks that is billed anyway by
the carrier but that is not used by the client. The use of this extra space
through software tools should be an important factor for all manufacturers.
Based on this need, at SCA Mecanica we have created Quick Pallet Maker, an easy
to learn pallet loading/ package design program that allows the user to
calculate the optimal secondary package dimensions and pallet arrangements, thus
reducing shipping costs.
