The Retail Lean System
The current Australian pallet (1165mm x 1165mm) is a system used widely across today’s supply chain which has resulted in low supply chain complexity and costs.
The Problem
Currently, consumer goods are produced and packaged at the manufacturer, which are then transported to a distribution centre on pallets, broken down further, and re-packaged or re-palletised to then be transported to supermarkets on pallets, where supermarkets then break down again even further – to be wheeled onto the floor using small, portable trollies, for shelf replenishment.
The result:
...being able to separate your load into six separate units which can be wheeled onto shop floors can significantly improve replenishment.
An innovative new piece of equipment designed for suppliers & retailers to be able to replenish fast-moving products without the need for double handling.
A Transformer Sheet is placed onto the Pallet
Goods are loaded onto the transformer pallet sheet
6 x individual merchandise dollies for mutli SKU
Wheels are locked into the channel to keep secure
Dollies are simply wheeled off the ramp
Wheeled straight to shelf, without any repack or breakdown
...More efficient goods handling means savings in shelf replenishment time and staff costs
The Solution
The Retail Lean System – converts the standard Australian Pallet to six wheeled, merchandise units.
It’s made up 3 different parts,
The first part is the Dolly,
The second part is the Transformer
The third part is the Pallet.
You can rack it, stack it, it’s a pallet that you use in your Supply Chain today. The beauty of combining the Dolly & Consolidator is – from manufacturing right through to Supply Chain – it’s easily converted to a wheeled unit at the point in which you want to remove it. By using something simple as a ramp, your load is now just able to be wheeled straight to the floor saving you time & labour on wasted unpacking & repacking.
The Benefits
The benefit to retailers for implementing the Retail Lean System is obvious.
The benefits also extend to manufactures & suppliers.
The beauty of this – from manufacturing right through to Supply Chain – it’s a pallet, you can stack it, rack it – it is actually a pallet. The only difference is it’s converted to dollies at the point in which you want to remove it.
