Logistics solutions in a form of pallet pooling – example of Croatian market

Working in logistics and supply chain provides a challenge when it comes to pallets and transport of goods. Making sure that company has enough of pallets to ship the goods is challenging enough, but making sure that those pallets are exchanged for the ones of same quality, and returned back to warehouse is additional challenge. Making sure that warehouse is large enough for pallet storage and constant investment in new pallets is a cost that can be avoided or reduced. Pallet pooling provides a simple solution for transport of goods, because company that has quality planning management can make sure that they only rent the amount of pallets they need for certain period. The pallet pooling company takes care of pallet management, and makes sure that the end location is safe for pick up. They deliver the pallets to the user, who ships their goods on those pallets to retail or wholesale, without the exchange and transport cost back to the warehouse.

Presenting benefits of pallet pooling solutions versus the white wood pallet management on Croatian market and the benefits for the producers and retailers is the main goal of the study.
