A closed loop
program (CLP) is a special situation where
companies and suppliers have a regular flow of
goods moving between them. Where storage,
manpower, or other logistics issues may dictate,
APE can help by acting as a collection and
distribution intermediary.
When done correctly a CLP can yield tremendous
savings and efficiencies for both entities. To
determine if you might be a good candidate for
creating a CLP program with a supplier of
customer, consider the questions below:
- Does your
company ship repeatedly to key suppliers or
customers?
- Do you ship
and receive on pallets?
- Are these
pallets custom made or expensive?
- Is disposal
of these pallets expensive or problematic?
If you think the answer is YES to most of these
questions, Albany Pallet may be able to help you
implement a CLP program of your own. APE can
collect and repair your pallets, sort them by
size or grade, and inventory them at our
location. When you or your supplier need more
of any size, we’ll have them shipped
immediately. Considerable savings off the price
of a new pallet may result.
Call us for details and to arrange an on site
evaluation of your CLP possibilities.
