Pallet Hire, Pallet Pooling and Rental
Every customer considering pallet rental should first talk to Cerca, an innovative supplier of pallet, container hire and rental services. Cerca will be able to give you a range of options which may include pallet hire but could also feature other returnable packaging and different methods of pool management, such as buy/sell arrangements and term rental agreements.
Cerca specialises in packaging logistics offering a full range of services including pallet rental, container hire, pallet pooling, term rentals and pool management systems including the use of advanced tracking software.
Cerca’s expertise enables customers to choose between closed loop systems based on pallet rental or pallet pool ownership as well as container and layer pad hire or equipment ownership. With returnable systems using plastic pallets and plastic containers becoming ever more popular, companies want to achieve the best value for money from their pallet pooling techniques. Packaging logistics and packaging management generally has become more sophisticated and efficient in recent years with sometimes expensive pallet rental giving way to ownership of the packaging assets, the costs of which are efficiently amortised.
A key issue is how to exert complete control over the entire packaging logistics operation, ensuring minimum wastage and maximum usage of pallet pools and containers through the entire supply chain. Cerca has developed a pool management system based on real time tracking and methods such as RFID tagging which draw all suppliers into an optimised supply chain solution.
The Cerca approach to packaging logistics and pool management is comprehensive. Whether using pallet rental and container hire or other pooling solutions, Cerca offers pool management par excellence, including cleaning and repair of rental assets as well as bespoke services designed to maximise the value of the pallet pooling methodology.
In addition to providing rental and pooling solutions Cerca can help companies develop bespoke packaging through its manufacturing partnerships. For example enabling customers to develop returnable shelf ready applications and shelf ready packaging systems to meet current retailer demands.
