Paying to ship air
Containers routinely leave with 20–30% unused space. On a ₹2 lakh all-in freight bill, that's up to ₹60,000 spent shipping nothing.
Container load planning for SME importers & exporters
Your container sails 30% empty.
We fill it.
CargoFill plans every carton in your container before it's packed — so distributors stop paying to ship air, stop losing goods to damage, and stop the chaos at unloading.

The problem
Every container hides three losses
Damage nobody can explain
Fragile cartons crushed under heavy ones. When goods from multiple suppliers share one box, there's no record of what was loaded where — so nobody is accountable.
Chaos at unloading
Your urgent, fast-moving items buried at the back wall. Extra labour hours, delayed sales, frustrated customers.
Today, container planning happens on WhatsApp, phone calls and a notebook. There's a better way.
How it works
From purchase orders to a perfectly packed container — in five steps
-
1
Add your orders
Enter purchase orders from each manufacturer — or simply forward the invoice or packing list and our AI extracts the items automatically. Carton sizes are saved once and reused forever.
-
2
Set your priorities
Mark what's urgent, fragile, or heavy. Tell us what you need unloaded first at destination.
-
3
Get the optimal plan
Our engine calculates the best container size and exactly where every carton should go — balancing space, weight, stability, and your priorities. It even tells you when leaving two low-priority items for the next shipment saves you an entire container.
-
4
Suppliers get simple instructions
Each manufacturer receives their delivery slot and numbered carton labels by WhatsApp — no login, no app, no training. Loaders follow a step-by-step visual sheet, like assembling furniture with instructions.
-
5
A digital manifest travels with the box
Everyone sees exactly where their cargo sits. Fast unloading, photo checkpoints, and traceable proof if anything goes wrong.
Features
Everything the big importers have — built for your size
Smart load planning
Proven 3D packing science places every carton for maximum space use, correct weight distribution, and stability at sea.
Buyer priorities, respected
The only planning tool where the buyer's needs — unload order, urgency, fragility — drive how the container is packed.
Multi-supplier consolidation
Buying from 3, 5, or 8 manufacturers? Combine everything into one optimised container with delivery slots for each supplier.
WhatsApp-first for suppliers
Your manufacturers don't need accounts or apps. Instructions, confirmations, and updates flow through WhatsApp — in English, Malayalam, or Hindi.
Zero-typing data entry
Forward a PO, invoice, or even a photo of a handwritten packing list. Our AI reads it and builds the shipment for you.
Forwarder-agnostic
Keep your existing freight forwarder and CHA. We plan the inside of the container; they move it. No conflicts, no lock-in.
Who it's for
Made for the people the enterprise tools ignore
Distributors & importers
You buy from multiple manufacturers and book the container. Fit more in, unload faster, and know exactly what's where.
Exporters & manufacturers
Even with a single-supplier container, better packing means 5–10% more product per box — direct extra revenue on every shipment.
Freight forwarders & CHAs
Offer "smart consolidation" to your clients under your own brand, powered by our engine.

Questions distributors actually ask
Do my suppliers need to install anything?
No. Suppliers receive their delivery slot, carton labels, and loading sheet by WhatsApp link. No login, no app.
We use our own freight forwarder. Is that a problem?
Not at all — that's by design. CargoFill plans what goes inside the container; your forwarder handles booking, customs, and shipping as usual.
My cargo is loaded at different factories, not one warehouse. Does the plan still work?
Yes. The engine plans the loading sequence around your truck's pickup route, so the last-loaded goods are the first ones out at destination.
How do loading workers follow the plan?
Every carton gets a numbered label, and loaders get a simple step-by-step sheet with layer-by-layer pictures — available in English, Malayalam, and Hindi.
What if a supplier delivers late?
The plan updates instantly — the engine re-computes the load with what's actually available and tells you whether to wait or ship.
Is my shipment data safe?
Your orders and supplier details are visible only to you. Suppliers see only their own instructions — never other suppliers' goods or prices.
Your next container is the free trial.
Send us the purchase orders for your next shipment. We'll build the complete load plan — and show you exactly how much space and money you were about to waste.
