(Epal) has introduced the new Pallet App, a web-based software solution that digitalises pallet management and tracking in logistics. The application is available free of charge to all users of Epal pallets. The centrepiece of the app is <strong>the integration of the QR code<\/strong> on the Euro pallets produced since January 2024 - more than two million units to date. The <strong>Combination of mobile application and dashboard<\/strong> is intended in particular to improve transparency in the movement of pallets and goods.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Two components for greater efficiency<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Pallet App consists of a <strong>mobile web interface<\/strong> for employees in warehousing and dispatch as well as from a <strong>Dashboard<\/strong> for the back office and centralised inventory management.

Users can quickly and easily create orders for pallet tracking, digitise logistics processes and track goods transports from dispatch to delivery.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eA common problem in goods and pallet logistics is the lack of transparency and traceability of pallet movements. Manual recording is inefficient and can lead to losses of pallets and goods. The EPAL Pallet App is a quick way for companies to digitise their logistics processes, especially in combination with the EPAL Europallet QR. The combination of the EPAL Pallet App and the QR code on the pallet makes intralogistics transparent and efficient and enables the tracking of goods and pallets in transport and goods logistics.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jarek Maci\u0105\u017cek, President of Epal<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Goal: transparency and automation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The dashboard offers logisticians <strong>a comprehensive overview of all orders and the stock of Epal pallets<\/strong> at the company's internal locations. Digital stock planning and automatic notification when stock levels fall below the minimum level ensure that all locations are optimally supplied with EPAL pallets. The quality of the used pallets can also be recorded via the mobile web app, which creates even more transparency for internal stock management. <strong>Paper-based processes are reduced<\/strong> and may be completely eliminated in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eIn many companies, load carrier management is often still manual and paper-based. This is inefficient and the transfer of handwritten pallet and sorting slips to the IT system is error-prone and time-consuming. The Pallet App offers fast and uncomplicated digitalisation of these processes. At the same time, the Epal Pallet App also improves the inventory management of Epal pallets at the company's own locations and in collaboration with customers and suppliers.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Brandt,<\/strong> Head of Logistics and Innovation at Epal<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Epal emphasises that the app <strong>does not replace existing IT systems, but supplements them.<\/strong> Integration into ERP systems and other software solutions is to be facilitated in future by new interfaces. The addition of further functions is also planned. Feedback from users will be incorporated into further development.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Contribution to the circular economy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The app is part of Epal's sustainability strategy. The simplified administration and traceability <strong>pallets should be used longer, exchanged more efficiently and lost less frequently<\/strong> - central elements of a functioning pallet cycle. The application thus supports the principles <strong>Reuse, exchange, repair and recycling<\/strong>, which EPAL has been pursuing for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Epal<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EPAL launches the Pallet App, a digital solution for efficient pallet management with QR code integration and tracking, free of charge for all EPAL users.","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":100814,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"EPAL startet die Pallet App f\u00fcr digitales Palettenmanagement \u2013 mit QR-Code, Trackingfunktionen und Dashboard f\u00fcr die Bestandsf\u00fchrung.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"Pallet App","rank_math_title":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[45188,59079,52,59],"class_list":{"0":"post-100812","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-verpackungstechnik","8":"tag-digitalisierung","9":"tag-epal","10":"tag-logistik","11":"tag-software-und-steuern","12":"cs-entry","13":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"vimeo_video":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
