A place where people can work together to manage and move recycled wooden pallets.
Almost 500 million Euro pallets move around the world today. But with a loss rate of 10–15%, which is caused by Supply Chain professionals working in silos and not talking to each other, this is a real economic and environmental disaster. Opatrace helps to increase the number and quality of recycled Euro-pallets that are available, so that logistics actors not only use them, but reuse them more and better. How? The collaborative platform shows the flow of pallets in real time, so they can be better returned, bought less often, and thrown away less. By collecting information, the solution helps professionals in the supply chain reduce their losses of wooden pallets and promote the circular economy of packaging. It also helps reduce the costs of managing and transporting load carriers (less CO2 emissions). Everyone in the chain, from the supplier to the consignee to the carrier, benefits from increased productivity and better management of reverse packaging. By getting back all of the wooden pallets that can be used again, we save the natural resource and indirectly stop trees from being cut down.
