German term or phrase: Fracht- und Laderaumberechnungen
I can safely say that I do not know what "Laderaumberechnungen" means!
Perhaps something to do with loading?? I've searched high and low for it. I was only able to find it in singular format in google, mostly in the context of forums, which doesn't help. The context is "Beispielhaft identifizieren und beschreiben einzelne Roadmap-Projekte hierzu ausgewählte, neue Enterprise Services wie Routenoptimierung, Fracht- und Laderaumberechnungen oder filialbezogene Abrechnungsdienste.". The overall context is about aligning IT processes with the requirements of processes for logistics.

optimise vehicle capacities / maximize fleet productivity


Explanation:
the gist, IMO

in the context, it sounds to me as though they figure out how to make maximum use of the capacities of the vehicles, i.e. use small vehicles for small loads.

There might be a Fachterminus, though.

I'd also say Frachtraum and Laderaum are synonyms here.
