- Supply chain people know that reusable packaging is good for the environment and cost effective.
- But without good control, it can be very costly.
- Pallet companies own the packaging and if it is lost, they must be compensated.
- Unfortunately losses are common.
- Controlling pallets is a challenge.
- Pallets and other reusables are transferred from one account to another as they move through the supply chain.
- Controlling pallets means ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and pallet company invoices are reconciled.
- But fixing transaction problems is only part of the challenge.
- Large volumes of data, complex pallet company rules, varying trading terms, and the pooled packaging model, conspire to make pallet control a specialised task.
- 2ic Pallets is a specialised tool for this task.
Process Overview
- Import transactions from a warehouse or transport management system, or create them directly in 2ic Pallets and send to the receiver.
- Export 'off' transactions to pallet companies.
- Import pallet company invoices for automatic reconciliation.
- Process exceptions to complete the reconciliation. This includes applying trading rules to raise rejections and corrections.
- Record physical stocktakes.
- Report and review variances.

- Andrew created 2ic Pallets in 2001 to help his parents' small business after they had lost some CHEP pallets.
- He didn't expect that supply chain multi-nationals would ever need his in-house solution.
- But in 2002 some other transport companies heard about the software, they demanded a copy, and 2ic Software was on its way.
- Today, 2ic Software remains 100% focused on the management of reusable packaging.
- Our team of industry experts includes several former customers, and they all love helping new customers.
