Pallet Management Program

The right pallet management program can make a big impact on the bottom line; but, unfortunately, most organizations do not have an internal resource dedicated to monitoring pallet inventory. Instead, the majority of logistics and operations professionals wear many hats and, oftentimes, pallet sourcing and inventory management is low on the priority list. However, if left unchecked, companies may scramble at the last minute to replenish supply and, in the process, pay a premium. That is why it is so important to partner with the right pallet provider who can help streamline pallet inventory and, in the process, help reduce operating costs.

A reputable pallet provider will perform a complete supply-chain analysis to determine the right plan for your organization. Narrow your search to a provider that can meet your needs nationwide and provide a continuous supply of pallets regardless of location or time of year. One contact will save time, paperwork, and provide peace of mind through consistency of service. Equally important is storage. A provider that can store pallets until you need them will free up space in your warehouse, which translates to cost savings. Of course, success hinges on the quality and type of pallets provided. Be sure your pallet partner understands your unique pallet specifications and has the ability to procure or custom-design the right material, size, and grade of pallet that is required by your operation.

Use these tips to get started in the qualification process. With the right partner in place and a successful pallet management program, you will be on the path to increased operational efficiency. For additional information or a free consultation, contact our national pallet specialists.
