The cost of doing nothing

Pallet pool leakage doesn't arrive in a single invoice. It compounds, quietly, every day.

Every unaccounted pallet starts a clock. The pool operator's charges accrue daily. By the time the numbers hit your P&L, the damage is twelve months old and buried in operating cost.

Day 1
A pallet leaves your DC.
Tracking ends. No one flags it. Nothing on your P&L yet.
Day 30
Late Declaration Charges accrue.
Daily fines start on every missing-paperwork pallet. Invisible to finance.
Day 90
Lost Equipment Charge invoiced.
The pool operator bills you for the pallet. Charges compound on top.
Year-end
£200k+ absorbed into operating cost.
Quietly. Across thousands of pallets. Nobody owns the leak.
Most FDs never see the leak until year-end. We find it on day one.
ACROSS THE UK & EUROPE

Your equipment moves. We help you keep control.

Case Study

How we found 25,000 missing pallets inside a large UK food manufacturer.

UK Food Manufacturer Major UK Pallet Pool Risk: £450k+

"The pool operator was about to invoice for over a £450,000 in losses."

Inside 90 days we ran a Forensic Health Check across three regional DCs, reconciled the transactional data against physical flow, and surfaced 25,000 pallets the FD's team had no visibility on. The reversal process with the pool operator secured a £45,000 credit and reduced ongoing spend by £42,000 a year.

Pallets recovered across our clients' pool accounts.

We couldn't reach this scale without meticulous attention to detail. Every client gets a dedicated team who knows their supply chain, their pool operator and their statements inside out — not a shared inbox.

What we are

A specialist forensic recovery consultancy. We operate as your outsourced pallet management team, working directly with your finance, ops and supply chain functions.

What we're not

We're not a pallet pool operator. We're not a tracking SaaS. We're the team that audits the operators on your behalf, and recovers what you've already lost.

If your Lost Equipment Charges are rising and nobody can explain why, that's leakage.

The team quickly brought clarity to an area that had become difficult to manage internally. Their reporting gave us a much clearer view of our pallet position and helped us identify issues before they became costly.
