Benefits of Loscam Pallet Pooling
Pallet pooling is a great way for companies to save both money and effort when transporting their goods. Instead of having to manage and maintain their own fleet of pallets, they can simply hire them for the period required and hand them back afterwards. By doing this the company can focus 100% on their main business.
Loscam is helping to modernise retail and manufacturing supply chains by promoting the use of a common pallet platform and other returnable equipment to minimise the handling of products as they move through the supply chain. Loscam is working with both multinational and local companies to implement and manage pallet pools throughout Australia and Asia and is firmly established as the pallet supplier of choice in Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong and mainland China.
In a fully developed pallet pool, pallets are used to transfer goods right throughout the supply chain with minimal manual handling of products. Standard pallets are used right through from factory to retail store and in some cases used as part of in-store product storage and display. As the product flows through the supply chain pallets are transferred from one participants account to the next in a truly user pays arrangement. Responsibility for ensuring pallets is in optimum condition lies with Loscam with clients using its HMS system to record the movement of pallets.

For those companies that require pallets for internal use only, Loscam is also able to take care of your needs. The Loscam BUYBACK service also enables those companies who have invested in their own pallets to sell these to Loscam, where upgrades and repairs are undertaken and then the pools are rented back to the client, converting a fixed cost into a more manageable variable cost. The BUYBACK service provides cash flow benefits to clients, lightens the balance sheet of non-core assets, reduces associated head counts and gives greater flexibility during periods of peak demand.
Loscam pallet pooling lead to increased efficiency, reduced product damage and faster cycle times and are helping to address rising supply chain and labour costs and the need for increased velocity of products from factory to consumer.
