Very nice. I once made a shipping planner in X that worked with drag and drop: It was basically a packing game with orders and trucks. You drag the day's orders around to arrange them on the trucks as you like (also you can drag the trucks around, and each truck was a list of orders with a scroll bar). Each truck shows its current capacity and turns red if the capacity is exceeded. Each order shows its delivery address and size (plus you can click on it to view the whole thing). When you are done, you click a button to print the pull tickets, bills of lading and delivery tickets all in the right order. The shipping guys loved it.
(Yes, you could try to use an optimization algorithm to do this- at the time I had no access to the map information needed for it. Actually it would have been difficult to beat the shipper's knowledge anyway.)
Were I to make this app again, I would want drag and drop in a web application. I'm not sure if Dragula allows dragging between frames (and dragging frames themselves).
