Airline Cargo
Load Planning Platform
A digital airline cargo load planning application that helps loadmasters manage flights, allocate cargo, and ensure safe aircraft loading through visual planning and automated validation.
About the Client
The client provides software solutions for the aviation industry, with a focus on airline cargo operations. They wanted to build a system that helps loadmasters plan aircraft cargo while ensuring compliance with weight balance, safety, and operational requirements.
The project aimed to improve the daily planning process by providing airline teams with a more efficient way to organize cargo, verify loading rules, and prepare flights with greater accuracy.
Our Role
We worked closely with the client to design and develop the complete cargo load planning application. Our team was responsible for building flight planning workflows, cargo management features, a visual cargo hold planner, a validation engine, offline support, cloud synchronization, and administration modules.
We also collaborated with the client to understand airline cargo planning processes, improve workflows based on feedback, and deliver new features throughout the project lifecycle.

Challenges we solved in project.
Before the software was developed, the client faced several challenges during aircraft cargo planning operations.
Complex Cargo Planning
Planning cargo for an aircraft requires balancing weight, available space, aircraft limits, and special handling requirements while keeping the flight safe.
Safety Rule Checks
Loadmasters needed to verify weight limits, dangerous goods regulations, structural limits, and center of gravity before finalizing a flight, making the process time-consuming.
Cargo Positioning
Without an interactive view of the aircraft cargo holds, it was difficult to understand how cargo placement affected space utilization and aircraft balance.
Offline Operations
Cargo planning often continues in environments with limited or no internet connectivity, requiring the application to remain fully functional offline.
Data Consistency
Changes made offline needed to be synchronized with the cloud later while preventing data conflicts and keeping flight information consistent.
The Unified Cargo Planning Journey
We designed a robust system architecture focusing on high-accuracy planning, safety checks, interactive visualization, and reliable offline operations:
Digital Flight Workflow
Designed a structured workflow for planning and completing aircraft cargo loading, allowing loadmasters to manage flights, cargo, and loading activities from preparation to finalization.
Rule-Based Planning
Implemented business rules that automatically verify cargo allocations against aircraft limitations, dangerous goods requirements, and operational constraints throughout the planning process.
Visual Decision Making
Integrated an interactive aircraft cargo hold view that helps loadmasters understand cargo placement, loading balance, and available space while planning.
Intelligent Processing
Developed planning logic that evaluates cargo distribution, reduces repetitive manual calculations, and helps identify suitable cargo placements based on aircraft loading requirements.
Reliable Offline Access
Built the application to continue working without an internet connection by storing changes locally and synchronizing them with the cloud once connectivity is available.
Key Features
Engineered dashboard features configured to handle airline schedules, hold placement safety, and validation logs:
Hover Over Key Features
Hover over any node on the right to scan telemetry and review active module parameters.
Flight Management
A complete flight lifecycle system that allows users to create flights, assign aircraft, allocate cargo, and move flights through structured stages.
Visual Drag-and-Drop Cargo Planning
An interactive cargo positioning system that allows loadmasters to visually place containers and pallets inside aircraft cargo holds.
Real-Time Validation & Error Feedback
Continuous safety checks for weight limits, structural constraints, dangerous goods segregation, hold compatibility, and center-of-gravity impact.
Automated Optimization Engine
Intelligent cargo distribution logic that automatically calculates the most efficient and safe placement of cargo.
Interactive Visual Tools
Provides load distribution charts, structural limit visualizations, trim sheets, and cargo hold visualizer sync.
Offline-First with Cloud Sync
Full offline functionality with automatic cloud synchronization and configurable conflict resolution strategies.
Enterprise Administration
Comprehensive admin controls for airline settings, user management, role-based access, and system/event logs.
The Results
- Created a single connected system for planning flights, managing cargo, and completing load planning activities
- Improved accuracy in cargo placement and flight planning through clear visual planning and instant feedback
