The concept of pallet pooling is based on a sharing economy where all participants share and make use of the same resources, in this case, plastic pallets. Goods are loaded by one entity, delivered to and then reused by the next entity and so it goes on.

The IOT tracking devices inside each unit create a sharing network of plastic pallets that allow us to do a couple of things differently.

Movement of pallets from one location to another occurs automatically once they enter a new DC, warehouse or plant. This means the pallet knows where it is and warehouse staff no longer have to manage the movement of pallets with manual pen and paper systems.

Smartload pallet users have access to useful information regarding the movement of pallets and the ability to generate reports on demand.

Smartload clients gain access to the SmartPooling network of pallets. Based on the concept of a sharing economy, this means that Smartload clients can collect from and deliver pallets to any other Smartload client location. Sharing means we use less resources to satisfy the same market need.
