### "A very useful tool for calculating container requirements"

October 7, 2021

5.0

It makes it easy for me to provide a complete solution to my customer as i don't need to spend time on calculating the equipment requirements and can spend that time on finding the best possible routing and freight rates.

Pros

I get requests for quotation from customers and it's so easy to copy-paste the cargo dims&weights to Cargo-planner which then calculates me the required container type and amount within seconds.

Cons

None so far as it does what I need it to do for me at the moment.

### "User friendly tool"

October 7, 2021

5.0

Vert easy to use and gives quick estimate how many loads are required.

Pros

I can upload/paste in packing lists in many formats and the tool can read them

Cons

Last year the response time to add a requested new trailer type was quite long. I know I could do it myself but I just did not get round to trying myself.

Reason for choosing Cargo Planner

### "Natalie's Review"

Great!

Pros

It's efficient at calculating the total trailer space when building loads.

If we could customize building loads by choosing which pieces we stack, that would be great.
