The new pooling provider Palpool now supplies an accounting system which is both up to date to the exact day as well as transparent to all users. Based on RFID and web- portal technologies, Palpool hires out high-grade plastic pallets suppliers for closed-loop systems. As each Palpool professional pallet can be identified and is traceable, an up-to-date overview of both costs and stock is always on hand in the Internet portal.

Each pallet has two UHF transponders with ID numbers. Scanning by means of a handheld unit allows all pallets to be recorded together in a consistent way. Using PROFESSIONAL GPS, the data then flow via the professional docking station directly into the Internet portal. This saves the tiresome job of having to fill out pallet notes, and allows the whereabouts of each and every pallet to be traced at any time.

The transparency of both costs and stock ensures a highly efficient pallet management system. Regardless of the location and time, the Internet portal conveys the corresponding overview of the current situation. This allows users to control their pooling costs directly.

Palpool is unbeatable in several respects:

• Transparent costs and accounting across the whole system
• 100% overview of stock in real time: tracking and tracing
• Ideal conditions for delivery and collection
• Simple, understandable handling and minimal technical effort
• Round the clock provision of cleaned and checked plastic pallets

A comprehensive pilot project has already proven the advantages of using Palpool in practice: Dr. August Oetker Nahrungsmittel KG and Sachsenmilch AG - a member of the Theo Müller Group - put their trust in the efficiency and reliability of the system.
