TOPS Pro and MaxLoad Pro software has the solutions for you.
Importers / Inbound logistics
Use MaxLoad Pro to plan and ensure inbound shipments are at maximum cube. Provide your purchasers the perfect tool to tailor every order for maximum fit and easily communicate the results. Know what products and where they are in each container.
Know your load plan ahead of time to accommodate for any trans-loading or cross-docking operations.
Ship more product in fewer containers!
corrugated design
TOPS Pro‘s “Stacking Strength” function is based on the McKee Formula and enables users to perform compression analyses. Results will assist in decisions about corrugate usage and board grade to minimize product damage during transit and/or storage.
Perform a “QuickStrength” analysis to determine what ECT (Edge Crust Test) value you will need for your products; or, perform a full stacking strength analysis to compare options in your board grade database.
Copackers
Maxload Pro provides step-by-step loading diagrams on how to build pallets and to load trucks and containers. Load solutions are based on “real world” stacking rules and algorithms to reflect true-to-life loading scenarios.
Use the powerful 3D editor in MaxLoad Pro to make manual adjustments to load plans as needed. You can move items between vehicles, or create new mix pallets on the fly to group loose SKUs, or add new SKUs to fill the void space in the containers, and more.
brand owner
Use TOPS Pro to design corrugated packaging that ensures product integrity during storage and transit for lowest cost. Improve brand awareness through unique point-of-purchase POP displays using TOPS MixPro module. Create documentation for compliance to standard operating procedures. Communicate with designers for material requirements.
Package designer / Product development
Use TOPS Pro to optimize pre-packaged products from sizing, quantity, arrangement, to dimension of carton and shipping case. Complete the process downstream for pallet layout and determine the maximum product quantity per transit vehicle.
Dress up the uniform pallets with slip sheets, caps, trays, or PODs for aisle display in warehouse stores; or secure pallets with shrink wrap, corner posts, and straps for storage or transportation.
what role do you play?
Warehouse / Shipping Manager
Use MaxLoad Pro to make the most of inventory by calculating fit for an order upstream in the scheduling process. By coordinating daily load out schedules with graphical reports and reliable metrics, in-house distribution and outside contractors can increase productivity.
MaxLoad provides certainty to many questions a Shipping Manager must answer on a regular basis. Will this manifest fit? Can I combine these stop offs? Is my load balanced? How many mixed pallets are there? MaxLoad clearly documents loads and can be useful for training and staging product. Also an excellent tool for communicating with other departments.
marketing / sales
customer service reps
Use MaxLoad Pro to convert customer orders to pallet or truck/container shipments and provide corresponding cost estimates. Customer Service can also suggest alternate product mixes to fill available space reliably and in a timely manner.
Improve communications with customers by providing shipment summary, load list and contents of each pallet and truck/container.
EXPorters / OUTbound logistics
Use TOPS Pro to find the right size shipper and unitload that produce an efficient container layout. Complete the process upstream during product development for pallet layouts that determine the maximum product quantity per transit vehicle.
Dress up the uniform pallets with slip sheets, caps, trays, or POPs/PODs for aisle display in warehouse stores; or secure pallets with shrink wrap, corner posts, and straps for storage or transportation.
Report your results and communicate concisely.
