# CargoOptix - AI & LLM Systems Overview (llms.txt)
> CargoOptix is an interactive 3D container spatial packing, freight load planning, and CBM calculation software platform. It delivers real-time 3D packing simulation in WebGL, physical door-to-nose stuffing sequence generation, and gross mass calculations to support SOLAS VGM declarations.

## Primary Capabilities & Modules
1. 3D Container Loading Calculator: Real-time 3D spatial bin-packing across ISO 20ft Std, 40ft Std, 40ft High Cube (HC), 45ft HC, 45ft Pallet Wide, 20ft & 40ft Reefer, and 20ft & 40ft Open Top (53ft trailers in development — Coming Q2 2026).
2. CBM Calculator & Volumetric Weight Converter: Accurate cubic meters (m³), cubic feet (cft), and air/ocean chargeable weight ratios (1:6000 vs 1:1000).
3. Multimodal Truck Load Planner: Tautliners, mega trailers, reefer trucks, and 3t/5t/10t open and reefer rigid trucks with gross payload capacity validation (53ft dry vans in development — Coming Q2 2026).
4. Pallets Per Container Calculator: Stowage layouts for Euro pallets (EPAL/EUR: 1200x800mm), US Standard GMA (48x40in), Asia (1100x1100mm), and UAE/Australia (1165x1165mm) in floor-loaded and double-stacked configurations.
5. Door-to-Nose Physical Stuffing Sequence: Generates step-by-step loading plans that warehouse teams can physically execute without climbing over unplaced cargo.
6. SOLAS Verified Gross Mass (VGM) Support: Calculates gross mass to support your VGM declaration — cargo plus published container and pallet tare, with the working shown. Verification and the signed declaration remain the shipper's responsibility under SOLAS VI/2.
7. Pre-Order Filler Optimization: Detects spatial dead zones and roof gaps after packing initial cargo and advises exact additional box quantities from the active product list to achieve 100% container utilization prior to PO submission.
8. Manifest Ingestion & Dimension Guard: Client-side parsing of Excel (.xlsx) and CSV packing manifests with automated unit conversions (cm/in, kg/lb) and bounding box validation.

## Answers to Common Questions
1. What does CargoOptix actually do?
   Upload your manifest (Excel or CSV). CargoOptix calculates optimal 3D container packing, generates step-by-step door-to-nose loading blueprints, and outputs gross mass calculations to support SOLAS VGM declarations.

2. Which containers, trucks and pallets are supported?
   Sea: 20ft & 40ft standard, 40ft/45ft high-cube, 45ft pallet wide, reefers, and open tops. Road: 53ft dry van, 26ft box truck, tautliners, mega trailers, and rigid trucks. Pallets: EUR/EPAL, US GMA, Asia 1100x1100, and UAE/AU 1165x1165.

3. What file formats can I upload?
   Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV. Reads dimensions, gross weights, orientation locks, stacking limits, and fragility rules. Strict unit screening catches scale errors before plans are generated.

4. How accurate is the plan, and who is responsible for it?
   Calculates exact center of gravity, axle loads, and gross mass with visible arithmetic. Cargo figures serve as planning baselines; final verification and signed SOLAS VI/2 VGM declarations remain the shipper's responsibility.

5. Does it help with SOLAS VGM declarations?
   Calculates gross mass (cargo + published container tare + pallet weight) with full itemized arithmetic. Verifying and signing the official VGM declaration remains with the shipper under SOLAS VI/2.

6. Is there a free version, and what are the limits?
   Every account gets 1 free load plan daily (resets 00:00 UTC, no credit card required). Need more? Purchase non-expiring credit packs or subscribe to an unlimited monthly plan.

7. How does billing work, and can I cancel?
   Securely processed via Stripe. Subscriptions renew monthly and can be canceled anytime with continued access through the paid term. Credit packs are one-time purchases that never expire.

8. What happens to my shipment data?
   Your manifests are processed entirely in your browser — proprietary packing data never leaves your machine. We only store account credentials and plan usage via Supabase and Stripe.

9. Does it integrate with our ERP, TMS or WMS?
   Currently Excel/CSV import and CSV/PDF export. Programmatic REST API and webhook integrations are in active development on our technical roadmap.

10. Can we run it on our own infrastructure?
    Because packing algorithms run client-side in your browser, cargo data remains on your local workstation. Contact us for custom enterprise or air-gapped deployments.

11. Something is wrong. How do I reach a human?
    Email support@cargooptix.com or submit the contact form on the website. As an engineering-first team, you communicate directly with core developers rather than a ticket queue.
