Control
Procedure Review
We
review the procedures currently being used to control your pallets,
including IOU’s, and if needed, modify them for the most convenient
process that
ensures you do not lose pallets. We then recommend, for your
consideration, any changes that we consider would simplify your
efforts. We then work with you to develop the most suitable process
that ensures pallet loss is eliminated or minimised at the same time as
simplifying
efforts required by your staff and your trading partners.
Monthly
Stocktake and
Reconciliation
Pallet
Logistics personnel complete a stocktake of all your pallets every
month. This is normally done without assistance from your personnel
but, should you prefer, you can arrange for someone to accompany our
staff.
After the end of the month, when we have done our
invoices, we then complete a reconciliation of the account and forward
to you a report showing your exact position as at the time of the
count. This provides a very small window to review should problems be
encountered.
Follow-up
All Queries
On
many occasions, your trading partners may reject transfers that you
have processed as they have not received a copy of the transfer advice,
the quantity is incorrect etc. On those occasions, we obviously need to
get from you a copy of the POD. After that we do all the negotiating
with the other party to obtain the correct credit to which you are
entitled.

Computerised Dockets
All
dockets are computer generated using 2ic software pallet control
program that we supply and maintain free of charge. This eliminates the
need to purchase Chep/Loscam CMD books and hand write dockets. Docket
creation on the computer is quicker that handwriting as you normally
only need first 2 or 3 letters of a clients name, then select them from
drop
down box. This provides account number as well. No need to enter any of
your information as the program adds that by default. There are also
many other timesaving benefits such as the program automatically
recording a transfer on or off, drop down list for transport company
etc.
No Paperwork
To Be
Posted
All
pallet movement data is transmitted electronically eliminating the need
to write envelopes, add stamps and go to post office. The electronic
transmission process takes only 15 to 30 seconds once a week. As this
is done each Friday, almost always, your monthly invoice contains all
transfers off to your trading partners. Similarly, the majority of the
transfers onto your account appear on your invoice simplifying the
checking process.
