Our pallet pooling programs make it easy to share unused pallets with other businesses in your area.
If your business involves shipping goods or materials of any kind, then you will need wooden pallets on which to pack them. Pallets have been a standard part of logistics operations for decades now, as they allow goods to be loaded and unloaded efficiently using forklifts. Our team at Pallet Alliance has extensive experience in logistics, and one issue we’ve noticed over the years is the way an operation’s need for pallets can wax and wane over time—in other words, you sometimes need more pallets and sometimes fewer. If every business kept the maximum number of pallets they would ever need on hand, then more pallets would need to be produced, which is not ideal from a sustainability standpoint. To help address this issue, we offer pallet pooling programs, which allow companies to share pallets so fewer total pallets need to be produced.
In a pallet pooling program, you and the other participating businesses combine your pallet supplies into one large pool from which any of you can borrow when necessary. If one business needs more pallets, they can take a larger amount, as there will be other businesses who don’t need as many at that time. Then, when the other businesses need more, they can take a larger number, and the whole cycle repeats. Pallet pooling programs don’t just rely on the honor system, though, but use sophisticated digital tracking tools to help every participating business monitor how many pallets are in use vs. how many are available.
