Pallet management falls underneath the category of pallet services. It is a service where a pallet company is responsible for the entire operations and inventory control of your pallet supply.
Who Needs a Pallet Management Program?
We recommend pallet management for all businesses that use at least two truck-loads of pallets per month. This roughly equates to 900 pallets per month.
Benefits of Pallet Management
A Custom-Built Program
Most pallet companies will build your pallet management program from the ground up – taking into considerations all aspects of your supply chain.
These supply chains aspects include:
- Number of shipping points (locations)
- Warehouse space and storage
- Shipping methods
- Monthly pallet usage.
A custom-made management program ensures that your expectations are met consistently and all aspects of your business are taken into account.
Consolidates Your Pallet Operations
A pallet management program consolidates your pallet operations under one roof, with a single point of contact. This minimizes the risk of pallet program “blind-spots” occurring, while optimizing your pallet inventory and return on investment. It also removes the headache of coordinating pallet deliveries and pickups with multiple pallet companies. The more locations your business has in your supply chain, the more important consolidation becomes.
Optimizes Your Pallet Inventory
With a single company controlling your flow of pallets, your provider will ensure that you always have the proper amount of pallets on hand and should forecast future usage consistently.
Maximizes Your Return on Investment
Pallet management programs optimize your return on investment on three fronts.
- Maximize your storage and warehouse space.
- Creates extra streams of revenue via pallet buy-backs and other credits.
- Decreases your staff’s time spent on pallet operations.
