Soberan ERP · Pallet and package planning

Pallet load planning connected to the shipment, vehicle, and approval

Keep package dimensions and placement rules attached to the freight plan so palletized loads can be reviewed before execution.

Pallet and package load planning view inside the Soberan 3D workspace — Package placement is reviewed with its policy context instead of being reduced to a cube total.

Soberan helps teams evaluate palletized and package freight inside a configured vehicle, with orientation, base support, clearance, volume, payload, and unpacked exceptions visible in one review flow.

Palletized freight still carries package-level constraints

Footprint, height, support, stack behavior, and unloading practicality all affect whether an arrangement is useful on the floor.

Different handling profiles

Not every pallet or package can be rotated, stacked, or supported in the same way.

Incomplete capacity signals

Floor positions, volume, and payload can each become the binding constraint.

Manual exception tracking

When freight does not fit, teams need a visible exception instead of a separate spreadsheet note.

Plan the package mix as one load

The recommendation is evaluated against the full shipment set and the selected vehicle.

01
Select package records
Bring dimensions and shipment identity into the planning run.
02
Apply placement policy
Use allowed orientations, support, clearance, and evaluation order.
03
Inspect the arrangement
Review package placement in the 3D vehicle and select individual items when needed.
04
Resolve exceptions
Confirm packed and unpacked items before approving the plan.

Package-level controls

Allowed orientations

Define the directions the planning policy can evaluate for each package.

Minimum base support

Require a defined share of the package base to remain supported.

Boundary clearance

Keep package placement within the configured clearance rule.

Individual inspection

Select a package in the vehicle to inspect or adjust it during review.

Operational benefits

A common view of the pallet and package arrangement
Handling rules embedded in the recommendation
Visible exceptions before warehouse execution
An approval record tied to the final vehicle plan

Teams that benefit

Distribution centers

Coordinate mixed pallet and package freight in one outbound plan.

Industrial shippers

Represent long, flat, or support-sensitive items with explicit constraints.

Transportation planners

Review how the selected freight uses each vehicle configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Does pallet load planning only optimize floor positions?

No. The workspace also tracks overall volume and payload and can evaluate package-level orientation, support, and clearance rules.

Can planners inspect one package at a time?

Yes. A package can be selected in the 3D plan for inspection and, when appropriate, repositioning.

How are unpacked packages handled?

They remain visible as exceptions in the review so the team can revise the plan or make a separate execution decision.
