Sourcing. POs. BOLs. PODs. Disputes. Core pickup. Consolidated invoicing. Quoted per engagement -- scope-driven, never a packaged tier. Managed end-to-end across your DC footprint, with the published methodology backing every line on the bid sheet.
PS margin is built into the per-pallet cost. There is no separate management fee, no monthly subscription, no add-on line item. Tiered by pallet grade and volume. Specific structure depends on your DC count, locations, pallet mix, annual volume, and program complexity. Typical engagements run $3,000 to $25,000+ per month in PS margin captured within the per-pallet rate -- not in addition to it.
Core-heavy accounts qualify for a 30-day no-charge pilot to align on quality and pricing baselines before the engagement formalizes. The buyer decides whether to continue based on the delivered work.
Each engagement is scoped against your footprint and pain points. Our practice across the program, below.
We source quotes from multiple vendors that fit your footprint -- distance to your DCs, capacity, pallet spec -- and aggregate to a per-pallet price on your sheet. Vendor specifics available on request.
Order lifecycle managed end-to-end through PSOMS. Vendor confirmations tracked. BOLs and PODs reconciled against POs daily. Short shipments and quality issues surfaced before they become disputes.
Disputes worked end-to-end with vendor and carrier. Core pickup coordination on used pallets and odd-grade pallets (ODDS). Scrap removal coordinated with downstream recyclers where applicable.
One invoice across all vendors and facilities, reconciled against POs and PODs before send. Split per-facility on request. AP gets one workflow instead of one per vendor.
Reports generated on demand or on the cadence in your scope of work. Per-facility rollup, consolidated multi-DC views, audit-defensible CSV and PDF export.
Core pricing and quality aren't standardized -- they vary by customer footprint, pallet mix, and regional grade. For core-heavy accounts, we run a 30-day pilot at no charge so all parties align on quality and pricing baselines before the engagement formalizes. Up-front alignment is what makes core relationships durable.
Whether you're standing up a new operation, upgrading what's already running, or running your next RFQ -- our goal is the same: save your team a working day a week, defend every number with published methodology, and stay invisible until you need us.
Acquired a portfolio. Opening new DCs. Building out a regional footprint. You need a turnkey pallet program before the first truck rolls.
Existing program, new gaps. Quality disputes are climbing, AP is drowning in vendor invoices, sourcing takes too long, no visibility across DCs. You want a tighter operation -- that's what we're here for.
Add us to your bidder list. Our bid shows up like every other vendor's -- same format, same bid sheet. The difference: when someone asks why our number is what it is, we can answer with the market data behind every line.
We run the rails. You stay in control. Here's how the working-day-a-week math actually works.
Premise. A procurement buyer running pallets across 5+ DCs does roughly 6 to 9 hours of pallet-specific operational work per week. Most of it is small repetitive tasks that compound. Managed programs absorbs the operational layer; the buyer keeps strategic control (approvals, vendor vetoes, audit access). What's left over rounds to one working day per week.
| Task category | Typical weekly load | Who handles it under managed |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing replacement vendors when one lapses | 30 to 60 min | PS |
| Certificate of Insurance (COI) and compliance follow-up across vendor base | 15 to 30 min | PS |
| Multi-vendor outreach and quote collection per cycle | 45 to 60 min | PS |
| BOL collection and POD reconciliation | 60 to 90 min | PS |
| Invoice matching to POs | 30 to 45 min | PS, consolidated |
| Dispute mediation (short ships, quality, billing) | 30 to 60 min | PS |
| Core and scrap pickup coordination | 20 to 30 min | PS |
| Manual cost-input research (BLS, EIA, freight) | 30 to 60 min | PS via Tuesday Read |
| Multi-DC rollup reporting for leadership | 30 to 60 min | PS via dashboard export |
| Total | 5.5 to 9 hours | Round to one working day |
An extra 52 working days a year, give or take. The program runs under the buyer's authority: approval thresholds, vendor selection veto, dispute escalation sign-off, audit access. We operate the rails. You set the rules.
Drawn from years of running multi-DC pallet operations, including current engagements with XPO and Trinity Packaging. The ranges are conservative; complex multi-brand portfolios run higher.
