Methods, systems, and computer program products for placement of objects in a loading space are provided. Aspects include determining item data for a plurality of items, determining space data for a loading space, generating an optimized configuration for placement of the plurality of items in the loading space comprising determining one or more geometric representations for each item in the plurality of items, wherein the one or more geometric representations for each item are coupled together, determining, by an algorithm, a location in the loading space for each item in the plurality of items based on the one or more geometric representations for each item and the space data, and displaying, by a display, the optimized configuration comprising an image of each item of the plurality of items overlaid on corresponding locations in an image of the loading space.
