Pinpoinr track and trace system goes live
PalletFORCE, one of the UK’s fastest growing palletised distribution networks, brings its pinpoint track and trace IT system to the IMHX Show as part of its commitment to “provide innovative logistics solutions for the benefit of our members.”
The pinpoint system, designed by logistics specialist Trans-aXion, is now live, providing comprehensive real-time ‘track and trace’ for all of the Network’s Member Depots and their customers. Every pallet is registered with a unique identification, which customers can use to trace deliveries throughout the distribution process via the pinpoint website.
The investment in pinpoint underlines PalletFORCE’s commitment to delivering a high-quality service. The Network has recently established a new mission statement – to “provide innovative logistics solutions for the benefit of our members” – which will be showcased at IMHX. As Chief Executive Mick Scarlett explains, “service means more than getting pallets from A to B. Networks must seek to offer ‘added value’ to members and their customers, and PalletFORCE is looking to actively develop the breadth and quality of the services we offer.”
PalletFORCE has been a significant success story in the five years of its operation. Since August 2001, when 560 pallets were handled from 36 Member Depots, PalletFORCE now handles around 6,500 per night (with the capability to handle twice that) and has more than doubled its number of Member Depots to 90.
