Features & Capabilities
The intelligence in Blue Yonder Load Building
Order Consolidation and Splitting
Consolidate multiple orders together to give planners full control over the way orders are aggregated. Split order quantities across multiple trucks to achieve maximum load efficiency and enable both push and pull of orders based on priority while respecting inventory policies for optimal truckloads.
Multi-tiered Load Building
Use multi-tiered load building to incorporate user-defined nested configurations while supporting a variety of pallet types including double, mixed layer, mixed Item, and sandwich pallets.
Equipment Dimensions
Include usable dimensions and axle weight constraints to achieve the best fit for the load while honoring the number of available vehicles.
Multi-level Containerization
Create a three-dimensional containerization plan that both maximizes and optimizes shipping space utilization. Granular item stacking and orientation rules can be configured during optimization to reduce in-transit damages and improve load handling time.
