Especially when complex and heterogeneous package items, a large variety of transportation modes and the need for high quality fulfillment of the customers service level agreements are combined, than the challenge related to Pallet and Load Building is demading. The challenge can even involve 3 different levels at the same time:

    1. Cartons
    2. Pallets
    3. Containers (truck, trailer, baytruck, railcar, container, air cargo container and many more).
