Maximize every shipment — move smarter, faster, and greener.
Ship smarter with optimal container utilization
SCY Container Load Optimization helps you plan, pack, and ship with precision — reducing empty space, freight costs, and emissions through AI-driven load optimization.
Problem Statement
Inefficient container planning often leads to underutilized loads, inflated shipping costs, and higher carbon emissions. Manual methods or static load rules can’t keep up with complex packaging constraints, diverse product shapes, or dynamic routing needs.
Impact: On average, 20–30% of global shipping container space goes unused — costing millions in wasted logistics capacity each year.

Global FMCG Leader – Reduced Freight Costs by 18%
A multinational FMCG company shipping mixed product loads across regions faced frequent underutilization of containers and inconsistent packing practices. With SCY Container Load Optimization, they automated load planning across 12 manufacturing sites, using 3D simulation to visualize and validate every shipment. The solution identified ideal stacking patterns and container combinations, improving average container fill from 72% to 89%. Within six months, the company reduced freight spend by 18% and achieved measurable sustainability gains by cutting down the number of annual shipments.
