You have to consider pallet sales and whether they are being managed in the most efficient way. If your sales team does not know that they should be pushing pallet sales over any other volume, it could be problematic. Selling by the pallet is one of the best ways to improve the bottom line because a lot of work can be saved. Pallet sales occur when you are able to sell everything on a pallet to one company at one location. This would allow your warehouse workers to take the pallet and load it onto a truck. This is all that has to be done, and it can save time and money as a result. The moment you have to break apart the pallet, you're wasting time and money. You have to select what is being sold to a customer, label it, package it, and then get it out the door. This is a time consuming task. It can also take longer to inventory what is in your warehouse because of having broken pallets across the floor. You may want to offer a better price on pallets so that it is a more lucrative deal for your customers. They will buy by the pallet and that will allow you to move out inventory faster. The moment you get the pallets in, it may be possible to turn around and deliver them out, which means the pallets aren't actually being stored at all. Any time you don't have to move pallets into the warehouse, you save money. It can take a significant amount of time for an employee to get into the forklift, move the pallet from the loading dock to the warehouse, and then label it. If this process takes 30 minutes and you get dozens of pallets in a day, you can see how it could be a labor saver to reduce the process. Pallet sales need to be managed. You need to be promoting this kind of sale and it will improve the efficiency of your supply chain. The logistics will be simpler if you are dealing with pallet sales versus any kind of broken pallet. While it may not be possible to offer full pallets all the time, there should be someone managing the overall process so that it is the most cost effective solution for your customers. Efficiency is the name of the game. If you're not sure how to run things in the best possible way, then it's a good idea to work with a company who can. They will find custom and money saving solutions for you to implement – or they will do all of the implementation, complete with their own employees, so there is nothing for you to do. Pallet sales can be a simple way to keep things moving along, but if they are not a priority for your sales team, you could be losing out on sales and the ability to run your warehouse smoother.
