The Real Value of Incident Management

Customers heightened demands such as white glove delivery and fast shipping times have changed expectations for shippers dramatically. Many companies are struggling to figure out how to compete with large, successful companies like Amazon, who have raised the bar for shipping excellence. In addition, shippers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers must deal with a highly fragmented carrier market, often working with multiple carriers in any given market to meet special demands. In addition, maintaining communication across these relationships is a struggle, and gaining visibility across the shipping process only adds to the complexity of this landscape.

Pallets do the same job as ever, but the nature of that job is changing. Pallet management practices are shifting toward an emphasis on reusability as more companies establish in-house pallet pools. The cost-per-use equation is also including more factors, while providers of pallets and services are adapting their approaches to meet customer demands.
