Mary Casillo talks about Pallet Alliance; taking a holistic view; putting a focus on cost management; and integrating tracking into your transportation.

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

[04.23] An overview of Pallet Alliance – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers.

“We take a scientific approach to pallet and category management.”

[06.35] The ideal client for Pallet Alliance.

“So much money is spent on packaging. And a lot of times people don’t consider the pallet as part of the packaging.”

[09.23] From consistency to the impact of differing weather conditions, the biggest packaging problems Pallet Alliance see most regularly from their customers.

“The packaging responsibilities are left to local teams with a decentralized strategy. So having a national pallet program is something that really entices our customers to work with us. The value of a national approach, with control and visibility, is really important.”

[15.40] The industry challenges impacting Pallet Alliance’s customers, why they’re driving a need for cost management and improved efficiency, and the hidden costs in pallets.

“Everything costs more with the current economic environment. And that’s impacting the clients profitability and time... So, finding other ways to optimize costs is more important than ever.”

[20.06] Pallet Alliance’s product range, and how they help customers understand what’s right for them.

“How a pallet interacts with a facility starts when it’s delivered… What happens when it gets there, what machinery does it interact with, how are you handling it?”

[23.27] Pallet Alliance’s IntelliPallet IoT-enabled logistics platform, how it allows businesses to avoid converting their workflows, and how it helped one company save over $600,000 per year in only one location.

[31.16] How Pallet Alliance work with customers, and their five steps to success.

“Using our experience, knowledge and technology, we’re always looking for continuous improvement opportunities.”

[35.11] A case study detailing how Pallet Alliance helped a client with a pallet redesign, resulting in $500,000 worth of savings for only one project.

“Clients rely on us as more than just quoting pallets. We’re experts in sourcing, design, industrial system engineers, and logistics experts.”

[39.06] A special offer for Let’s Talk Supply Chain listeners.
