LOP

LOP creates scored 3D load plans for cargo packed into containers or trucks, with constraints intended to validate how a load is arranged. Its solver offers Quick Plan, Smart Plan, and Maximum Fill modes and accounts for rotation, crush strength, fragile items, hazardous-material separation, and center of gravity. Users can inspect plans from multiple angles in an interactive 3D editor and make manual changes. AI analysis explains a plan’s strategy, constraints, physical risks, and possible improvements. Imports include Excel and CSV, SAP IDoc XML, Oracle WMS Cloud CSV, and generic ERP or WMS spreadsheets. Paid plans can export PDF reports, Excel workbooks, and CSV packing lists. Business and Enterprise support STEP, STL, OBJ, and PLY imports; Business files are limited to 250 MB each. LOP describes logistics professionals, particularly those planning machinery and heavy industrial freight, as its audience. Its dashboard and account pages work on phones, but the 3D editor is best used on a desktop or laptop. The permanent free tier is free for three plans monthly, one container and 20 items per plan, one seat, and no exports.

LOP combines constrained load planning with 3D inspection and plan analysis. The free tier has clear monthly and export limits, and the 3D editor is better suited to a larger screen.

LOP suits logistics professionals planning container or truck loads, especially for machinery and heavy industrial freight. The 3D editor is best suited to desktop or laptop use.

LOP is a load-planning tool for logistics professionals who need to fit machinery or other demanding freight into containers and trucks. It suits teams balancing space use with physical constraints, especially when they also need to inspect and analyze a proposed arrangement. The free tier is a useful small-scale starting point, while regular planning and export require a paid plan.

Overview

LOP creates scored 3D load plans and supports delivery sequencing, weight constraints, and mixed fleets. Its focus on constraint validation gives it a clear role in complex freight operations: an arrangement must account for load safety and cargo relationships as well as available space. For straightforward packing, that planning depth may be more than a team needs.

Key features

Constraint-aware planning

The solver offers Quick Plan, Smart Plan, and Maximum Fill modes. It handles item rotation, crush strength, fragile items, hazardous-material separation, and center of gravity. That range is useful when planners need to weigh fit against the physical demands of a load; the modes offer different approaches, though no further distinction between them is defined.

3D inspection and analysis

The interactive editor displays plans from multiple angles and allows manual changes. AI analysis explains a solved plan's strategy, constraints, physical risks, and possible improvements. Together, these tools help planners review and refine a proposed load. The dashboard, plans, libraries, settings, pricing, and account pages work on phones, but the 3D editor is better suited to a desktop or laptop.

Data exchange and integrations

LOP imports Excel and CSV files, SAP IDoc XML, Oracle WMS Cloud CSV, and generic ERP/WMS spreadsheets, which gives teams several routes to bring existing cargo data into planning. Paid plans export PDF reports, Excel workbooks, and CSV packing lists; the free plan has no exports, a meaningful constraint for teams that need to circulate plans or use them in downstream workflows. Business and Enterprise also support STEP, STL, OBJ, and PLY imports. Business CAD files are capped at 250 MB each.

Pricing

LOP has a permanent free tier and no free trial. Business and Professional have monthly or annual billing options, but their prices are custom pricing; Enterprise is quoted individually. The difference between the paid tiers is mostly capacity, seats, and specialized features.

• Free: free, permanent. One seat gets three plans per month, with one container and 20 items per plan. There are no exports. This is suited to occasional evaluation, but the small monthly quota and lack of export make it a poor fit for routine team operations.
• Professional: Custom pricing, with a monthly base fee plus a monthly per-seat fee. One seat is included, with a maximum of five. Plans are unlimited, but each is limited to five containers and 200 items; AI requests are capped at 150 per user per month. It includes paid-plan exports, but not STEP/CAD imports. This fits smaller teams with moderate load sizes that do not need CAD files.
• Business: Custom pricing, with a monthly base fee plus a monthly per-seat fee. One seat is included, with up to 25 seats. Plans, items, and containers are unlimited, as is AI usage subject to fair use; STEP/CAD imports allow files up to 250 MB. It is the stronger fit for larger or more complex operations, though the added capacity comes with per-seat charges.
• Enterprise: Custom quote, with custom seats, API, SSO, SLA, and an on-premise deployment option subject to agreement. It fits organizations that need those enterprise arrangements. Customers can discuss data-retention requirements, though custom automated erasure is not currently provided.

Professional email support responds within two business days; Business priority email responds within four business hours; Enterprise has a dedicated support channel under its SLA. Account sign-in supports Google, Microsoft, or email, while SSO/SAML is listed for Enterprise.

Platforms

LOP is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Mobile access covers its dashboard and account pages, but planners doing 3D editing should use a desktop or laptop for the more suitable workspace.

Who it's for

LOP is aimed at logistics professionals, particularly teams planning machinery and heavy industrial freight. Its constraints, mixed-fleet support, and delivery sequencing suit operations where safe placement and operational detail matter. Teams handling small, simple loads or needing a mobile-first 3D workflow may find it less suitable.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The solver accounts for crush strength, fragile items, hazardous-material separation, and center of gravity, giving complex loads more than a space-filling calculation.
• Pro: Multiple import formats and AI plan analysis support both bringing cargo data into the workflow and reviewing a resulting arrangement.
• Con: The free plan is capped at three plans per month and has no exports, limiting its usefulness for ongoing work.
• Con: Professional limits each plan to five containers and 200 items and excludes CAD imports, while the 3D editor is best used on a larger screen.
• Con: Business and Professional use per-seat fees, and their prices are custom pricing, so teams cannot compare their costs from a published rate.

Alternatives

CargoLoader3D is worth considering for a more generous free starting allowance: its lifetime free plan includes seven default spaces and five cargo items, plus mobile support, item load order, priority groups, detailed reporting, and manual placement.

MediaBeacon may suit organizations looking for cloud or on-premise deployment and willing to contact Esko for a discovery call.

LoadMosaic offers a €99, paid once perpetual license for the purchased version; choose it if a one-time payment and version-specific license suit your purchasing needs.

ALPHA LOADING is a web-based alternative with freemium pricing and a free trial.

Goodloading has a free tier with default load and cargo-space dimensions, but excludes palletization, oval loads, and axle loads; it may suit users whose planning needs stay within those bounds.

Kubova offers a free web UI plan with 50 packs and 20 PDF reports per month, which may suit teams whose needs fit those quotas.

LoadingMCP provides a browser-based 3D planner and compliance verdict on its free plan, with no login or card required; it is an option for users who want to start planning directly in a browser.

Verdict

LOP is best for logistics teams planning machinery or heavy industrial freight that must meet several physical constraints. Its solver, 3D editing, and plan analysis form a strong workflow for generating and reviewing complex loads. Choose it if those capabilities matter and the paid plan limits fit; look elsewhere if you need routine exports without an opaque custom price, generous free use, or a 3D editor built for phone screens.
