Question: Can Quick Pallet Maker be used for plugging into a third-party application so it can import data from my order system and then export it into another system of mine?
Answer: We're working on it. We will create a version of Quick Pallet Maker without an interface that can be executed remotely, import instructions and produce automatically a shipment file, all in XML. The advantage of using XML is that first it is a easy to read format (either by software parsers or by the naked eye) and second that the files can easily be transformed into whichever format you need for your application and back. We will post the developer information as we finish this upgrade.

Multi-Packs
Question: Can you use Quick Pallet Maker to calculate multiple types of primary packages in a box?
Answer: Short answer: not yet. Long answer: yes, you can calculate multi-packs in a two-step process.
First, open a new Container Fill window and enter the box internal dimensions in the container dimensions slots. Then, create new boxes with the primary package dimensions and their amounts. Add the boxes to the list and check the "optimize sections" box in the bottom left section of the window and then click on the second tab. The result should show how the packages would look.
The second part of this procedure is to calculate the box arrangements in pallets by using a new document window starting from Box Dimensions.
