How does Cube-IQ work?
Cube-IQ will help minimise the cost of
shipping by ensuring that no shipping container space is wasted.
Using Cube-IQ is
straight-forward.
All you have to do is let
Cube-IQ know the number and
size of the packages you want to pack or store, and the size of the
container(s) you want to use. Cube-IQ does the rest.
The basic steps are
outlined below - including highlighted links to screen shots from a sample
job.
1.
Choose the container(s) that you want to use
- Select a saved container from the Cube-IQ database, or create a new
container by entering it's dimensions, weight limit, etc. Cube-IQ can load multiple containers of different
dimensions in the same session.
Container information can be saved for future use.
See: Container Detail Screen
and Job Entry Screen Slideshow
2.
Select the packages you want to load
- Select packages from the Cube-IQ database, or create new ones by
entering dimensions, weights, and any packing restrictions that
apply. Then simply tell Cube-IQ how
many of each package you want to include. Packages you enter "on the
fly" can be saved for
future use.
See: Packages Detail Screen
and Job Entry Screen Slideshow
3.
Optimise
- Once you have entered the boxes you want to pack, click on the optimise button.
Cube-IQ takes it from there.

Print the Loading Instructions
- Cube-IQ Loading Instructions provide you with a clear,
step-by-step procedure of how to pack each container. A
3-dimensional box shows the way all boxes in each block are to be
oriented, and colour coded box faces help to determine the rotation of the
box from it's original orientation.
See: Loading Instructions
5.
Print the Manifest
- The Manifest tells you exactly how much of each product has been packed,
by container.
