Interface

Logotype & Icon

• The logo for the Cargo LMS project represents a plane silhouette, reflecting the core domain of the platform. This symbol communicates the product’s function in a direct and recognizable way. We used flat design principles for clarity across different screen sizes.
  
  The icon maintains visual consistency with the UI by using the same color palette and line thickness.

Typography & Colors

Defining typeface & palette

• We chose the Urbanist font for its readability and modern structure. Its clean look supports user navigation and aligns with aviation-related digital systems. The font reflects our goal of creating a functional, conversion-driven interface for Cargo LMS ux / ui.
  
  Bright colors were selected to improve visibility across dashboards, especially under different lighting conditions. They help guide attention to alerts, tracking indicators, and live data inputs. This foundation ensures an interface that is both functional and visually approachable without overloading cognitive effort.

Problem & Solution

Problems of cargo loading optimization

• Manual planning introduces frequent errors that result in delays and increased operational costs. Inconsistent parcel dimensions and weights complicate load balancing and space utilization.
  
  External factors like air traffic or weather often require last-minute adjustments, further disrupting load strategies. These challenges lead to inefficient workflows and reduced customer satisfaction.

• 01 - Human error

  30% of human error is about of all incidents causing delays or damage in air cargo shipments. Manual planning processes are prone to mistakes during weight distribution and package handling. These errors affect overall timing, routing, and safety of air cargo. They also lead to increased CSR requests and insurance claims, lowering client trust.

• 02 - Route adjustments

  20% of air cargo flights experience last-minute route adjustments due to air traffic control restrictions or weather events. Cargo routes require constant re-planning, often under time pressure. Lack of real-time analytics limits responsive decision-making during such changes. Unoptimized route recalculations can delay shipments and raise fuel costs.

Solution

• We created Cargo – Plane Load Management System to reduce the risk of delays caused by human error or poor planning. By automating load distribution and route adjustments, we increase process reliability. Cargo LMS also ensures visibility and data accuracy, reducing manual oversight.

Interface

Cargo Plane Dynamic Parcel Allocation

• The app intelligently allocates parcels within the plane's cargo hold, optimizing space utilization based on size, weight, and destination. This dynamic allocation minimizes empty spaces, maximizing each flight's load capacity.

About work done

Scope of work

• By prioritizing user needs and creating a user-friendly experience, our design team has contributed to a Cargo Load Management System. We defined key functionality, designed a responsive UI, and integrated user flows for web and mobile.
  
  The scope also included dashboard optimization, weight allocation visualizations, and performance tracking tools. Analytics and conversion goals were addressed by simplifying decision-making for cargo managers.

Interface

Smart Weight Distribution for Cargo

• Cargo software employs intelligent algorithms to distribute parcels strategically, considering the weight distribution across the cargo hold. This ensures the aircraft maintains optimal balance for safe and fuel-efficient flights.

Key Features

• Smart Compartment Categorization

  Implementing size-based compartmentalization, the system categorizes parcels into specific sections within the cargo hold. This improves the space-to-weight ratio, minimizing empty sections.

• Route Optimization Engine

  The system considers multiple factors, including fuel efficiency and delivery timelines, to suggest the most cost-effective and timely routes for cargo transportation. This directly reduces unnecessary detours and enhances shipment reliability.

Research

Research phase

• During the research phase, we analyzed shipment flows, cargo types, and parcel weights to understand common patterns in air freight operations. This helped us identify the most frequent destinations and the typical characteristics of parcels being shipped. We also studied how cargo fragility and weight ranges influence packing efficiency and loading decisions.
  
  These insights guided our design choices for filters, layouts, and optimization logic in the Cargo LMS interface.

Key Findings

• 38,5% of parcels

  going to USA. This concentration highlighted the need to optimize routing and tracking features for North American destinations.

• 57,2% of cargo

  are non-fragile parcels. This influenced decisions on container types and load grouping in Cargo LMS ux / ui.

• 41% of parcels

  have weight about 1-5 kg. This weight cluster shaped UI filters and suggested templates for recurring parcel dimensions.

Identity

Cargo LMS Branding Principles

• We explored designs that incorporated elements of the Cargo logo while adding a touch of playfulness.
  
  Wearers became brand ambassadors, embodying the spirit of Cargo in a casual and engaging manner.

Layout Grid

Grid system

• Cargo layout grid is formed by vertical columns that divide the design space. This creates a framework for positioning elements like text, images, and other user interface components.

Landing page

Conversion-optimized Web page

• We have additionally created a dedicated product website, providing you with an opportunity stay updated on the latest features, enhancements, and exclusive offerings related to Cargo - Plane Load Management System.

Branding

Visual Identity

• Creating a brand identity for Cargo Load Management System involves extending the visual elements across various mediums, including develop a consistent visual language that includes a logo, color scheme, and typography.

Mobile app

Dynamic Allocation Minimizes Empty Spaces

• The mobile app enables users to allocate parcels dynamically, reducing unused cargo space. Real-time data helps adjust the layout based on parcel size, weight, and destination. This process improves capacity utilization without increasing loading time.
  
  Optimized allocation leads to lower fuel costs and higher overall load efficiency.

Key Features

• Parcel Visibility in Real Time

  Gain real-time visibility into the status and location of each parcel throughout the entire journey.

• Active Monitoring Tools

  Monitor shipments, track deliveries, and respond promptly to any logistical challenges, ensuring a seamless cargo flow.

Interface

Cargo software employs intelligent algorithms

• As part of our initiative, we extended our focus to crafting a mobile app, aligning with our commitment to delivering an intuitive and visually captivating platform. The mobile version includes simplified UX patterns for quick weight inputs and drag-and-drop parcel allocation.

Social Networks

Visual communication strategy

• We designed Instagram posts with a focus on key Cargo LMS features, using simplified visuals and strong CTA elements. Posts demonstrate real use cases such as fuel savings, cargo flow, and real-time tracking.
  
  We used motion graphics to display before/after scenarios from manual loading to automated Cargo LMS optimization. Color schemes and icons were aligned with the product interface for brand consistency.
