Regional Business Development Manager Kyle Mastroianni discusses how 48forty’s onsite services help businesses optimize pallet management and operations.
We provide pallets, pick up pallets, repair pallets, and offer onsite services. We can also sort pallets for you—essentially, anything you need when it comes to your pallet management.
What are onsite services?
Onsite services can take different forms. In some cases, we go in when a company has various types of pallets—pooled pallets, iGPS pallets, plastic pallets, and whitewood pallets. We provide sorting services, ensuring that trailers are filled with only certain types of pallets so they can be easily returned to their respective companies.
Another aspect of onsite services is pallet repair. If a customer needs to maintain a safety stock of pallets on-site for shipping or operational use, we can handle that. We repair pallets onsite, maintain the necessary safety stock, and then outsource the remaining pallets as needed.
Additionally, our Total Pallet Management (TPM) services extend beyond pallets. TPM teams can also handle crates and other operational materials. It’s a fantastic way to take a cumbersome process off the customer’s plate, providing a seamless solution with regular reporting—so they know it’s being taken care of daily.
How do customers benefit from onsite services?
A customer was in a tough spot during a hurricane and we quickly deployed our Relogistics division to assess their needs. Within 30 days, we had an onsite service team up and running. The transition was seamless, and their operations continued without missing a beat, despite the other provider exiting. It was a great success.
What advantage does 48forty's national footprint offer customers?
We have touchpoints all across the U.S. When a national provider wants to compare pallet pricing in California versus Florida, North Carolina, or New York, we can provide those insights.
Not only can we give them pricing, but we can also explain why prices differ across markets. This education helps them go back to their leadership teams with a full understanding, allowing them to make informed decisions.
Ultimately, we offer a one-stop-shop solution, eliminating the need for multiple providers and simplifying the process for our clients.
