Logistics Package Type

The shared package and container type library that powers Viindoo logistics.

A lightweight foundation module that gives your logistics stack one reusable catalog of package and container profiles — dimensions, weight limits, and barcodes — that fleet, freight forwarding, and warehousing modules all build on. It ships with 13 ready-to-use standard profiles so downstream apps have a consistent packaging vocabulary from day one.

This is a base dependency of Viindoo Logistics (viin_logistics), not a standalone app. It installs automatically underneath the logistics modules that use it, quietly doing the groundwork so everything above it speaks the same language.

Key Features

📦

Package & Container Types

Define reusable package and container profiles (dimensions, weight, barcode) shared as the common foundation across fleet, freight forwarding, and warehousing modules.

📦

Standard Package & Container Type Library

Ship pre-configured standard packaging (pallet, carton, crate, drum, FIBC bag) and ISO container types (20FT/40FT/45FT dry, high-cube, open-top) ready to use out of the box, no manual setup required.

Benefits

‣

One source of truth for packaging. Because every downstream logistics module references the same profiles, dimensions and weight limits stay consistent across fleet, freight, and warehousing. Update a package type in one place and every module that uses it stays aligned — no duplicated, drifting definitions.

‣

Zero setup to get started. The 13 standard package and container types load automatically when the module is installed, so your team can start referencing real profiles right away. When you add your own, the read-only volume field keeps every record accurate without extra effort.

Standard Package & Container Type Library

Get to work immediately with 13 pre-configured profiles loaded on install — no manual data entry required. The library covers common packaging (Pallet, Carton, Crate, Steel Drum, FIBC bag) and the standard ISO container fleet (20FT, 20FT High-Cube, 40FT, 40FT High-Cube, 45FT High-Cube, plus Open-Top variants), each with realistic dimensions, weight limits, and barcodes ready to be referenced as-is.

The built-in library of 13 standard package and container types, listed with barcode, dimensions, and maximum weight — ready to use out of the box.

Package & Container Types

Define reusable package and container profiles once, use them everywhere. Each profile captures a reference name, a unique barcode, base (tare) weight, maximum shippable weight, and length, width, and height — with volume computed automatically the moment all three dimensions are set. A simple container flag distinguishes shipping containers from ordinary packaging, so the same model serves both a carton and a 40FT ISO container.

Who Should Use This Module?

System Administrators & Implementers

Setting up Viindoo logistics and wanting a consistent, shared packaging catalog underpinning every logistics app.

Fleet, Freight & Warehousing Teams

Businesses running fleet, freight forwarding, or warehousing on Viindoo that need package and container types defined once and reused reliably across modules.

Because the package type configuration is consumed through the logistics modules that depend on it, most teams never manage it directly — it simply provides the foundation those modules stand on.

Building on Viindoo Logistics?

Logistics Package Type is already part of the foundation. It installs automatically with Viindoo Logistics (viin_logistics), giving your fleet, freight, and warehousing modules a shared, standards-based library of package and container types from the very first day.
