About PLZ Profi: Tools for Dispatching and Logistics
PLZ Profi is a free toolkit for dispatchers, freight forwarders and warehouses: a postcode radius search for 10 European countries, a 3D loading metre calculator and templates for everyday work. Built from day-to-day dispatching, not on a drawing board.
Built by professionals, for professionalsBorn in the dispatch office
PLZ Profi is run by a dispatcher with an IT background. The idea came from daily work: on new or rare routes, the question “which postcode areas lie within the radius, and in which direction?” costs time every single time, with a map, a spreadsheet and a freight exchange open side by side. Nobody needs that for regular routes, but for everything else there was no fast tool.
That is why PLZ Profi is built the way dispatchers work: enter a postcode, choose a radius, copy or export the result. No registration, no installation, and features such as postal regions, the compass and road distances that genuinely help on a freight exchange.

These principles apply to every new feature.
Fast, not flashy
A tool for daily work has to deliver a result in seconds. Function comes before looks, and every new feature is tested before it goes live.
Privacy-friendly
Searches, calculations and exports run in your browser. Search history and load lists stay on your device. Statistics and ads only load with your consent.
Open data sources
Place data comes from official and open sources such as OpenStreetMap or INSEE. The source for each country is listed openly on the EU country overview.
Shaped by real-world feedback
New countries and features follow feedback from dispatchers. Requests that help many users take priority.
