Our verdict on CargoWiz
CargoWiz is desktop load-planning software for manufacturers, warehouses, freight forwarders, importers, exporters, customer-service teams and packing services. It plans loads for trucks, shipping containers and pallets, with support for multiple containers, trucks or pallets without a stated numerical limit. A drag-and-drop editor, built-in and custom vehicle or container sizes, mixed cargo, and mixed container-size loading cover varied planning workflows on Windows. On Mac, it runs through Parallels or Boot Camp with Windows installed.
Its strongest area is the depth of its loading controls. CargoWiz can apply stacking, bottom-only, loading-priority and top-placement rules, alongside total-weight limits, axle-weight calculations and center-of-gravity calculations. It also supports pallet loading and two-stage loading into trucks or containers. These features make it suited to operations where physical constraints, cargo order and weight distribution matter together rather than as separate checks. PDF reports include loading sequences, giving teams a shareable output for execution or review.
CargoWiz connects with business systems through ERP and WMS workflows, and cargo data can be imported through an Excel template. Its plans include a One-Time Buy option with no ongoing costs and use of the purchased version for as long as desired, plus an Annual Subscription that provides the latest version by download and can be repurchased after each 12-month period. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Choose CargoWiz if desktop depth, detailed load rules and one-time purchasing matter most; choose another option if you need a native Mac application or a free ongoing tier.
