Based on information about a company's specific supply chain processes, the tool calculates the savings that can be achieved through reusable Chep-plastic pallets and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) compared to the previous solution. The result shows how much pooling can reduce Reduce costs including hidden costs such as transport costs, cleaning costs or costs due to higher product loss when emptying the IBC compared to the current solution leave.

The company also offers a life cycle analysis (LCA). The LCA is an independent measurement tool that analyses the environmental footprint of customers in terms of wood consumption (for wooden pallets), waste or CO₂-emissions associated with the use of reusable Chep pallets compared to single-use alternatives. The Calculation refers to a specific period and is carried out in accordance with ISO standards14040 and 14044which offer a comprehensive and standardised methodology.

In contrast to its TCO tool measures the environmental impact of the solution throughout its life cyclefrom the resources used to manufacture a liquid IBC through its utilisation phase to its final destination at the end of its life cycle.
