How do you spread an order’s freight across its missions without overloading?
The Groupage screen: four counters, the weight and volume bars, a lot moved in two taps with “Place here” and the “Propose a distribution” button.
What you get
- An order's lots spread across its missions until they leave.
- Overload control by weight and by volume at once.
- A distribution proposal you apply — line by line or in full.

A large order often leaves on several missions, and its freight is entered as lines: lot, weight, volume. The Groupage screen shows every mission that hasn't left yet, and what it's already carrying. At the top, four counters: re-loadable trips, unassigned lots, overloads, and average fill.
Every mission has two bars: weight and volume. Watch only the tonnes, and you drive half-empty trailers; watch only the cubic metres, and you get stopped at the weighbridge.
If nobody entered the trailer's capacity, the board doesn't draw zero percent: there is no bar at all, just an explanation of why.
A lot moves in two taps, no dragging. The first tap selects the lot. The "Place here" button lights up only on missions of the same order: you see the rule before the gesture, not as a refusal after it. Second tap: the lot has moved, and one button puts it back.
If the mission is already loaded above eighty-five percent by weight, the button warns that capacity will be exceeded. But it stays available: the scale is at the loading dock, and the dispatcher may know better. The overload turns red and goes into the counter.
And "Propose a distribution" places the unassigned lots, heaviest first, and says honestly how many lots found no place. You apply line by line, or all at once; nothing changes without your click.
Weight and volume under control at the same time — and freight redistributed in two taps.
