WHAT IS THE TRUE COST OF A PRODUCT THAT IS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT?
1. Cost to refund or replace damaged product
2. Admin time to manage and process the claim
3. Cost to re-deliver replacement product
4. Impact on reputation and possible lost sales
5. Possible lost sales from damaged product not being sold by customer
PRESSURE ON LOGISTIC COMPANIES
Huge pressures are being placed on logistics companies to turnaround deliveries in record time. No longer is next day delivery good enough – we’re seeing retailers such as Argos offering same day delivery if you order by 6pm. Will this become the norm? Who knows, but what we do know is that this will mean more pressure on logistics companies to be slicker and faster when it comes to delivering product around the country.
COST SAVING
“We have seen a lot of interest and sales for our Pallite® Pallet Box range due to its protection attributes” comments David Rose, sales director for Pallite® (The Alternative Pallet Company).
“Customers appreciate the true cost of damaged product in the delivery cycle and know that by adding an element of zonal protection around their load, they will reduce costs later down the line.”
NO MORE TRANSPORTING FRESH AIR
The Pallite® design surrounds the consignment with a 25mm thick honeycomb wall ensuring excellent protection from all sides.
Couple that with the pallet box having the ability to be double stacked up to 750kg meaning no more reason to transport fresh air, it really offers something different from other pallet box combinations.
“One of the other key features our customers like is its ability to be stowed in a collapsed state thereby saving storage space.” continue Rose.
SUSTAINABLE OPTION
As with their complete range of products, the Pallite® Pallet Box is made predominantly from recycled paper and is able to be 100% recycled post use, so has very little impact environmentally compared to some other designs.
THE FUTURE
Progress can’t (and shouldn’t) be stopped and it must be embraced. To do that there needs to be an element of adaptation. Just because we’ve ‘always done it that way’, it doesn’t mean it’s the best way moving forward. “The Pallite® Pallet Box really does offer some huge benefits for businesses looking to save costs and if a company has that requirement we are here to help.” concluded Rose.
AVAILABLE IN A RANGE OF DIMENSIONS, THE PALLITE® PALLET BOX CAN BE PURCHASED FROM THE ALTERNATIVE PALLET COMPANY.
