Carton-to-pallet calculator for freight forwarders
Freightable's Palletizer module calculates how many cartons fit per pallet at any target height, applicable to any trade lane, import or export. German calculation standards are built in, removing manual calculation from the quoting process.
What it does
Calculates carton-per-pallet configurations at a given target height. Works for any trade lane and direction. Outputs are ready to feed directly into the quoting workflow.
Who it's for
Pricing and operations teams at NVOCCs and freight forwarders who manually calculate pallet configurations when quoting, particularly for shipments arriving as loose cartons.
What makes it different
German calculation standards and metrics are built in. Removes the manual step entirely, pricing teams get an accurate pallet configuration without a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the Freightable Palletizer calculate?
- It calculates how many cartons fit per pallet at a given target height. It is applicable to any trade lane, import or export, and uses German calculation standards.
- Why do freight forwarders need a palletizer tool?
- Pricing teams often have to manually calculate how many cartons fit per pallet when quoting for shipments that arrive as loose cartons. The Palletizer automates this, making quoting faster and more accurate.
- Is this only for imports from Asia?
- No. While loose-carton imports from Asian trade lanes into Europe are a common use case, where European warehouses need to palletize cargo for onward distribution, the tool works for any trade lane and direction.
