PackPro — container and truck load plans in one tap, computed entirely on your iPhone. Enter cargo dimensions, weight and quantity, pick a container, and PackPro produces an executable 3D load plan in seconds: what goes in first, how it is oriented, where it sits. Every step has a reason and every rule is verifiable. KEY FEATURES • Containers: 20GP / 40GP / 40HQ / 45HQ dry containers, a 9.6 m truck body, or custom inner dimensions and payload • Mix 1–6 SKUs: boxes and drums; set quantity to 0 to fill the container • 10 loading rules: heavy on the bottom, centred longitudinal CoG, lateral balance, max stacking layers, this-way-up, fragile on top, urgent first, multi-drop unloading, dangerous-goods segregation, honeycomb drum packing • 3D load / unload playback: step through the loading sequence, drag to rotate, X-ray inside; unload playback runs in drop-point order • 2D layer view and load list: position, layer and arrangement of every block at a glance • Verified, rule by rule: utilisation, total weight, centre of gravity and the result of each enabled rule — a plan is only shown if it passes • Loading work sheet: zones, loading order, key instructions and verification result — export as PDF or print, with signature lines for loader and checker • Smart entry: describe the whole order by voice or text ("40HQ, A 60×40×50 cm 300 boxes…") and an on-device model turns it into a cargo list with loading rules • AR measure: measure length / width / height or diameter / height with the camera and fill the form in one tap (more accurate on LiDAR models) • Records: saved plans reopen exactly as generated, stored on this device only WHY PACKPRO • Fully offline: solving, parsing and rendering all happen on the device — no network, no account • Your data stays on your phone: nothing is collected or uploaded • Verifiable: plans come from a deterministic constraint solver and are checked against 17 rules — not "it should fit" • Built for the dock: the work sheet follows a loader / checker sign-off flow and prints straight to the site For export sales and documentation teams, freight forwarders and consolidators, warehouse supervisors, loading crews, fleet dispatchers, procurement and supply chain. Requires iOS 26 or later. AR measure needs a device camera; voice entry uses on-device speech recognition; on Apple Intelligence devices, Apple's on-device model can also parse orders. Interface languages: English, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Deutsch, Français.
