Pallet-Track is making the biggest ever investment in its IT systems and tracking technology, which it said would drive growth for the network and shareholder members.

The Wolverhampton pallet network said the multi-million pound investment would secure its position at the top of the market by increasing efficiency and future-proofing its growing network.

The tech overhaul rolls out during its 20th anniversary and coincides with the recent recruitment of several new shareholder members.

Thomas Olsson, chief technical officer at Pallet-Track, said: “Providing the best possible customer experience is our number one priority and we are developing technological solutions that will enable us to continue to deliver that.

“Our shareholder members need new ways to improve the efficiency of their operations and we will help them to achieve this with full, real-time visibility on the location of vehicles and goods throughout the distribution process.

“This central visibility will also enable us to be more efficient at the Pallet-Track hubs, improve the management of vehicles through our hubs and have full awareness of potential delays.”

Stuart Godman, chief executive at Pallet-Track, said the investment marked the network’s arrival as “sector disruptors”.
