Recently, Pallet Alliance – a name you may not hear much – pulled off some big wins for their customers by rethinking something almost everyone overlooks: pallets.
From mold issues in Louisiana to tracking lost pallets with IoT, Mary Casillo at Pallet Alliance shares how little changes add up huge savings, better efficiency, and fewer headaches across the supply chain.
Costly Problems, Simple Fixes
Common pallet pitfalls include:
- Mold from wet storage (especially in humid regions)
- Damaged goods from bad fit or design
- Lost assets due to poor tracking
- Inconsistent materials from siloed decisions
Each issue adds up to wasted money. In one case, tracking pallets saved a client $622,000 annually at a single site.
Tech That Tracks and Saves
Their IntelliPallet system embeds sensors into pallets to monitor movement, losses, and lifecycle performance. Combined with data-backed redesigns—like consolidating two SKUs into one stronger, cheaper version—clients have saved over $500,000 on a single initiative.
A Smarter Supply Chain Step
Pallet Alliance audits, plans, tests, and manages pallet systems with measurable ROI. From pharma-ready plastic pallets to recycled wood options, they match solutions to exact operational needs.
If your company isn’t looking at pallet performance, you could be missing hidden value. As Casillo puts it: the savings are real and right under your products.
