Homogeneous pallets
Single-SKU pallets with one product or item type. Ideal for standardized flows, high volumes, and recurring loading patterns.
Pallet building
Intelligent pallet building for stable and efficient load units
Software-assisted load-carrier building for homogeneous, layer-based, and mixed pallets under a wide range of operational constraints.
Our software optimizes the creation of load carriers under real logistics constraints. Whether homogeneous pallets, pure layer sequences, or complex mixed pallets, we compute robust, economical, and operationally feasible pallet compositions for warehouse, shipping, retail, and transport.
What matters is not only fitting as many products as possible onto a pallet. Load units need to work in daily operations: stable in transport, suitable for picking, aligned with unloading logic, and tailored to product-specific requirements.
What needs to be co-optimized today
Stability, load distribution, and product protection instead of pure space utilization
Sequencing, unloading logic, and store processes directly inside pallet building
Connection to loading, transport, and operational system landscapes
What pallet building needs to deliver today
Pallet building is much more than a stacking problem
In practice, products need to be arranged on load carriers so they can reliably withstand transport, handling, and the target process. That includes geometric constraints as well as rules for stability, weight, stackability, sequence, and product protection.
Our software helps you model those requirements systematically and turn them into optimized pallet recommendations automatically. The result is load units that do not just fit mathematically, but also work in operations.
Geometric constraints, height limits, and overhangs must be respected reliably
Weight, center of gravity, and load-bearing capacity determine transport stability
Mixing rules, product protection, and stacking logic must not slow operations down
Unloading sequence, shelf logic, and store processes already matter during pallet building
Labeling, scannability, and warehouse handling affect practical usability
Pallet building needs to stay connected to loading, tour logic, and downstream transport
Supported pallet types
From homogeneous to sequenced
Depending on the product flow, target process, and commercial model, different load-unit structures are required. Our software supports the right pallet logic for standardized, mixed, and process-driven scenarios.
Layer-based pallets
Pallets with pure layers or defined layer sequences. Especially suitable when a full homogeneous pallet is not reached, but a clear and stable layer logic is still required.
Heterogeneous pallets
Mixed pallets with multiple products or SKUs. Relevant for retail, store delivery, e-commerce, spare parts logistics, and multi-order processes.
Sequenced store pallets
Mixed pallets with a defined unloading or shelf-stocking logic, for example by route, stop order, product group, or aisle.
Display and promotion pallets
Pallets that are optimized not only for transport, but also for sales-adjacent or presentation-oriented use cases.
Optimization logic
What our software optimizes in pallet building
We combine rule-based optimization with experience from 3D packing, transport planning, and store replenishment. This creates recommendations that are mathematically sound and operationally robust.
Geometry and space usage
Dimensions, pallet types, maximum height, allowed overhangs, and valid product orientations are modeled so footprint and height are used efficiently without violating constraints.
Weight and load distribution
Our software optimizes weight distribution and center of gravity so the result is not only dense, but also balanced and transport-safe.
Stability and stackability
Support areas, layer formation, load limits, and stable patterns are considered systematically so pallets remain safe under real conditions.
Product protection
Sensitive, pressure-critical, or non-stackable products receive dedicated rules so problematic product combinations are avoided.
Sequence and process logic
Optimization can be aligned with unloading sequence, picking logic, route order, or store structures when process-ready pallets matter more than pure density.
Rule-based product combinations
Mixing bans, product-group logic, temperature zones, dangerous-goods rules, or customer-specific requirements are modeled in a structured way and integrated directly into optimization.
Operational feasibility
Requirements for labeling, visibility, scannability, and practical handling in warehouse and shipping processes also feed into the recommendations.
Your benefits
More stable load units, better processes, less manual planning
Good pallet building does not only improve the individual load carrier. It also relieves warehouse and shipping teams, protects products, increases process reliability, and makes downstream decisions more robust.
Higher utilization
Use pallet footprint, loading height, and permissible weight more effectively and reduce unused space.
More stable load units
Create pallets that are not only mathematically reasonable, but also robust in transport and handling.
Less damage
Protect sensitive and poorly stackable items through rule-based placement and intelligent load distribution.
Faster processes
Reduce manual planning effort and accelerate picking, loading, and shipping.
Better store and customer delivery
Build pallets that match unloading, shelf-stocking, or route logic and improve operations at the destination.
More transparency and standardization
Make planning decisions traceable and turn customer-specific rules into a consistent system.
Holistic optimization
Pallet building as part of a continuous optimization approach
Our solution does not view pallet building in isolation. It is part of a continuous optimization approach for packing, loading, and transport. That creates solutions that do not stop at the pallet, but keep the full material flow in view.
3D packing optimization
It computes the best spatial arrangement of products on the load carrier and models the physical packing reality in a robust way.
Load planning
It considers how finished pallets are loaded into trucks, containers, or other transport units and connects directly to the generated load units.
Transport optimization
It links generated load units with routes, delivery logic, and network structures so the pallet is not planned in isolation.
Typical use cases
Where software-assisted pallet building creates the most value
Retail and store logistics
Mixed and store-ready pallets for more efficient shelf stocking, less restacking effort, and more predictable in-store processes.
Industry and manufacturing
Structured load units for shipping, plant logistics, and internal material flows with recurring constraints.
E-commerce and omnichannel
Flexible load-unit building from different orders, packaging units, and service requirements.
3PL and contract logistics
Multi-client, rule-based pallet building for changing customer requirements and heterogeneous assortments.
Consumer goods and food
Loading that accounts for product groups, stability, product compatibility, and store-ready sequencing.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about pallet building
Which pallet types can be optimized? +
Our software supports homogeneous, layer-based, heterogeneous, and sequenced pallets as well as other customer-specific load units.
Is this only about volume utilization? +
No. Beyond space usage, stability, load distribution, product protection, sequence, and operational feasibility all play a central role.
Can individual rules be modeled? +
Yes. Customer-specific constraints and process requirements can be integrated directly into optimization.
Is the solution suitable for store delivery? +
Yes. Software-assisted pallet building is especially valuable for store-ready mixed pallets and sequenced load units.
Can pallet building be combined with load planning and transport optimization? +
Yes. That is one of the key strengths of our solution: pallet building can be linked end to end with 3D packing, load planning, and transport processes.
