Meeting the supply chain needs of tomorrow, today

Standardization

Challenge:

The automated process of picking, storing, and palletizing items hinges on pallet standardization, i.e. the materials, quality, and dimensions of the pallets must be the same. Without this critical factor, there is a higher risk that some pallets may be unable to properly support products or function within the system causing product damage, equipment jams, and costly downtime. Working with one pallet supplier can help you avoid this scenario.  It ensures the pallets you order meet specific requirements regardless of when you order or where your order needs to be delivered.

Solution:

At Rose Pallet, we take standardization and quality control seriously. We have strict quality standards at our plants and with the lumber and manufacturer partners in our vendor network. Furthermore, it is our practice to source from smaller operations with proven track records for reliable and high-quality material and processes. And, with all orders, we always inspect to ensure specifications are met and the count is accurate so there are no surprises, and you get what you pay for.

Relationships

Challenge:

In any industry, but especially the supply chain, the people behind the operations are the glue keeping it all together. Unfortunately, that grip isn’t as strong lately due to ongoing labor shortages brought on by the pandemic. Doing more with less requires the right relationships. From those in the warehouse and those on the road to your suppliers, it’s important to make people a priority. Whether it’s fostering a positive culture internally or strengthening your external network, the ongoing practice of relationship building can boost loyalty, attract new talent, heighten productivity, and increase quality output.

Solution:

A strong relationship with your pallet supplier, for example, ensures that your business and pallet needs will be a priority. It also helps to ensure that you will be the first to know about market updates and changes that could affect your pallet supply. The best way you can support this relationship is by providing adequate lead time and paying promptly (versus requiring longer payment terms).

At Rose Pallet, our business is not built on transactions; rather, it is based on relationships that have been developed over time and with effort. Our clients know we care about them beyond the purchase. Furthermore, we love what we do and are passionate about helping our clients be successful. We welcome the opportunity to help you; contact us anytime.
