Distribution Solutions researches your facilities to design a system that best fits the specific needs of your company.
- PHASE 1: Site Assessment We will analyze your current pallet program, focusing on your facility’s shipping, receiving, transportation and overall distribution needs.
- PHASE 2: Program Development Using the information collected from the Site Assessment, over 20 years of experience in the pallet industry and your input, we will create a solution to meet your specific needs.
- PHASE 3: System Roll-Out After an implementation date has been agreed upon, we will work with you to transition your facilities from your current pallet program to your new pallet solution.
Unloading/Receiving Services
Our goal is to make our employees an integral, efficient and cost saving part of your unloading and receiving needs. We can adjust to peak demand periods by staffing quality workers in a short period of time to accommodate interim staffing needs.
- Complete turnkey operation – palletizing product, stretch wrapping, tagging & scanning barcodes and staging product on the dock
- Certified forklift drivers to unload material
- Pricing solutions that will fit your budget needs - by the container and/or by the pallet (production-based) or by the hour
- Learn from our experience – identifying areas to improve efficiencies and implement Best Practices
Loading/Shipping Services
Aligning the customer's shipping needs with our different production models helps increase the customer's overall shipping efficiencies.
- No additional management responsibilities – we manage our own people via an onsite shift supervisor, who spend their time on the dock
- Competitive pricing – activity-based rates allow the customer to better determine shipping costs
- Safety is a top priority – Have peace of mind knowing that all our employees are fully covered by worker’s compensation and a general liability insurance policy. We also take responsibility for product that is damaged by our staff.
Data Management Tools
Whether you are buying ready-to-go pallets or selling surplus pallets, the better you can manage your pallets, the better you can manage your costs. Smart pallet management saves money and/or increases revenues. Tracking increased efficiencies in shipping and receiving can be made easier with the correct tools. Let us help you get the information you need to make the best decision for your company.
Think of the benefits of being able to see all your pallet activity and identify Best Practices between facilities. Why does one distribution center spend 25% more on pallets than a comparable facility 500 miles away? Why does one facility use $5.00 pallets when all the others use $3.25 pallets? Is it more cost effective to pay employees by the container or by the hour? Distribution Solutions instantly gives you the information you need to identify and address these questions – and more.
- Accurately assign pallet, shipping and receiving costs
- Evaluate price and volume levels independently or collectively
- Streamline and consolidate invoicing
- Establish an actual audit trail for accuracy
- Generate summary and detail reports for your convenience using Microsoft® Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat® and more
- Send you a weekly and/or monthly report customized to include any information you request, from a corporate summary to detailed location schedules, you can choose to see reports by corporate, group or individual locations
- Identify Best Practices at individual locations or across your entire network
At Distribution Solutions, we understand the need to create a partnership with our customers and to achieve this takes honesty, a desire to proactively anticipate your needs and hard work. With years of industry experience and providing excellent service - we can be your Distribution Solution.
