KEY FEATURES

Everything your packing workflow needs

Sub-Second Response

AI-optimized packing results in under 200ms, enabling real-time integration into checkout and fulfillment workflows.

3D Coordinates

Exact X, Y, Z placement coordinates for every item, with packed dimensions accounting for rotation.

Multi-Container

Provide multiple container types and the engine selects the optimal one — or uses multiple if needed.

Weight Constraints

Set per-item weights and a max container weight. The engine respects weight limits when packing.

Loading Modes

Top-down, front-load, and side-load modes for boxes, pallets, trailers, and containers.

SVG Visualization

Retrieve 2D SVG diagrams for any packed container — perfect for reports and labels.
