Rent pallets instead of owning them. Reduce costs by 30-40% while eliminating storage, maintenance, and recovery headaches. We help you evaluate and connect with the right pooling provider.
Instead of buying pallets outright, you rent them from a pooling provider like CHEP or PECO. You ship your products on their pallets, and they automatically return to the pool for the next user. No storage, no repairs, no recovery logistics.
Typical savings of 30-40% vs. owning pallets. Convert fixed capital expenditures to variable operating expenses.
Reclaim 1,000-5,000 sq ft of warehouse space previously used for empty pallet storage and staging.
Provider-maintained pallets ensure consistent quality standards and reduce product damage during transit.
No recovery programs to manage. Pallets automatically return to the pool after delivery to your customers.
Advanced tracking and reporting tools show pallet movements, dwell times, and usage patterns.
No loss/theft exposure from owned inventory. Pay only for lost units, not ongoing shrinkage.
