Pallet management is a service that includes maintaining and managing your precise pallets. It can help you optimise your supply chain, not only in terms of costs but also in terms of creating an efficient and transparent supply chain. Investing in pallet management services is essential to optimising the use of time, space, and resources. You can also overcome supply chain issues and manage your inventory efficiently. At Precise Pallet Management (PPM), we do our best to save you the hassle of picking up the recovered pallets and the lost pallets.

Why do you need pallet management services?

In the warehouse and logistics industries, pallets are one of the most important pieces of equipment. However, these facilities have a big project with many moving parts that need attention. As a result, managing pallets can divert your attention from other important tasks. The good news is that there are companies that specialise in pallet handling services to help you manage your pallets better. Instead of increasing your staff, it is a good idea to outsource the hard work to a reputable firm.

Pallet management services offer numerous advantages that you should not pass up. Investing in these services is critical if you want to make the best use of your company’s time, space, and energy. With supply chain issues affecting everyone, managing your inventory is more important than ever. This includes not only products intended for shipping but also standard operating equipment such as pallet inventories.

Who are we?

On July 28, 2005, Phil Dolan launched Precise Pallet Management to meet the market’s need for impartial pallet services. Phil had a clear vision of what was needed and successfully challenged the client’s efforts, resulting in a more than 60% reduction in pallet costs and, in some cases, turning pallet costs into revenue. Since opening, PPM has had the privilege of working with a variety of businesses, whether they are large or small. We always offer a cost-effective solution tailored to the needs of individual companies. We can also handle Loscam and CHEP pallets.

What do we provide?

PPM is here to make complex pallet control easier. We take a creative approach to managing pallet accounts and offer comprehensive and scalable solutions for managing your hire accounts. We have an expansive list of services, which are as follows:

1. Recovery of Lost Pallets

It can be troublesome and expensive to lose pallets. If you don’t have enough pallets, it’s common to pay rent on pallets you don’t own. PPM is aimed at identifying lost transactions and filing claims to recover old equipment. We use our relationships with business partners and suppliers to achieve the best results for you. In cases where the pallets cannot be recovered, we can recommend compensating suppliers. Our team will help identify potential causes of pallet loss and find creative ways to eliminate these problems through a variety of methods. We will immediately begin the recovery process.

2. Managing Account

Our account managers are pallet experts who will give your team the confidence they need to focus on their work. As pallet experts, we ensure that your account is always up-to-date and managed precisely. If your dedicated account manager is not available, we have a large number of other pallet managers who can take over your account. Effective pallet management necessitates consistent focus, which is what our experts do five days a week. You will see numerous benefits to your business once PPM begins managing your pallets for you. 

3. Auditing Account

For businesses, auditing pallet accounts include process maturity, functional operation, and functional administration as the three key areas. This process is critical for businesses to know their starting point, focus recovery efforts, and track progress. The assessment of skills, knowledge, and behaviours in operational segments such as storage, receiving, picking, manufacturing, shipping, third-party storage, and external warehouses is included in functional operation. 

Examining knowledge, skills, and behaviours related to peripheral activities such as pallet counting, reconciliation, references, document retention, term negotiation, cost recovery, and output are part of functional administration. Process maturity involves the evaluation of the power of a process, including its objective, context, and design. The resulting report will include a gap analysis and the identification of solutions and actions to achieve the best pallet processing system. In some cases, time and motion assessments are included for stakeholder satisfaction as benchmarks for on-site performance. 

4. Training and reporting services

Our pallet control training and reporting services include the following:

• Onboarding training with qualified trainers on all aspects of pallet control.

• customised reports with additional options for tracking requirements.

• Run a sheet debrief to track pallet transfers from pickup to delivery.

• Policy building to outline protocols and procedures for specific situations.

• Account audit to understand the current situation and focus on recovery efforts.

• Invoice approval process to ensure correct charges before payment by the accounting team.

• Monitoring of hiring costs and identification of non-legitimate equipment types.

What are our values?

1. Be responsible and proactive.

Prepare and act as if it were entirely up to you. Situations will arise in which you do not know the answer. Collaborate to find solutions, but ultimately, your actions will determine the outcome.

2. Communicate openly.

Speak clearly and listen attentively. Understanding and feedback enable stakeholders to realise opportunities.

3. Support your development.

Challenge yourself, and our team will help you develop. Whether you are preparing for change or striving to be the best, you must accept responsibility for your progress.

4. Attend to the small things.

Give a little extra to enhance a client’s experience, celebrate small victories, and pause to acknowledge special moments. When working with people, the details are important.
