Summary:
Pallet management in a closed-loop leasing system poses significant challenges, with inefficiencies driving unnecessary costs and carbon emissions. This project explores the digital transformation of ordering processes to improve efficiency, sustainability, and customer experience in pallet leasing. By incorporating proactive forecasting, electronic data interchange, and inventory sensors, we aim to quantify the cost and operational benefits of advanced ordering mechanisms and offer strategic recommendations for future process improvements.
