• Changing How Business Was Done in 2015 As the global economy has become more competitive, response time to customer demand is more important than ever. In 2015, customer response has taken total precedence. The flexibility of pallet collars allows for quicker response times, and has become a more cost-effective option. A decade ago when pallet collars were not frequently used, end-users would have to pay a premium to have smaller orders filled because shipping out smaller orders was cost prohibitive. The ease of pallet collars have made shipping out smaller orders more cost effective. Storage has also changed with pallet collars. Warehouses are seeing greater efficiencies in storing a variety of goods, supplies and equipment with pallet collars. Reducing the warehouse footprint by using vertical storage space has become much more common place in 2015. A smaller footprint means less wasted space, less need for development, and is an overall win-win situation. palletcentral.com PalletCentral • November-December 2015 35 Business in 2015
