06/03/06 Pallet control in New Zealand

PATTON Pallets can help New Zealand businesses that are having problems containing pallet hire costs.

New Zealand companies, both in manufacturing and transport, originally started using pallets to save money. By using the pallets to leverage their time and efforts they were able to reduce employee costs, less physical effort and greater efficiencies.

However, can cost a lot of money. Patton Pallets believe that a lack of focus is the reason for the increase in costs of this asset.

Patten Pallets’ service includes two parts:

1. Pallet control - They manage the client’s pallet pool, eliminating losses and reducing costs. They give back the "focus" on a client’s pallet hire pool.

2. Pallet recovery - They will reconstruct records, track down and recover those "lost" pallets. They will reduce a client’s pallet hire costs and pallet compensation costs.

Patton Pallets Managing Director Gary Patton has been successfully managing the pallet hire and equipment pools for a number of national and multi-national companies as well as smaller localised businesses.

Roles as National Returnable Assets Manager, National Pallet Controller and National Roles in Material Handling Equipment Management in both manufacturing and transport environments have provided Gary with the know-how and thorough understanding of Supply Chain Management to know that pallet control is a lot more than just a Chep pallet docket.

The team at Patton Pallets will save a company’s time, money and pallets.
