Managing pallets without the headaches

For manufacturers and distributors in industries like food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and fast-moving consumer goods, pallet handling can be a logistical nightmare. As goods roll off the production line, teams need to pack, track, and dispatch them with precision. But without an integrated system, this process often relies on manual labels and spreadsheets – which can lead to delays, mis-shipments, and costly errors. Whether you’re dealing with multiple manufacturing orders or combining items from different jobs, any lack of visibility and control can seriously impact efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Abel’s integrated pallet management

Abel’s Pallet Management functions are designed to simplify and automate pallet handling from packing through to container dispatch. Workers use handheld barcode scanners and Abel’s touch screens to pack goods directly onto pallets as they come off the line. The system captures barcode data in real time, prints pallet labels, and automatically creates pallet records in the database. Pallet Documents allow businesses to group items efficiently – whether it’s multiple pallets for one manufacturing order or combining items from different orders onto a single pallet. Workers can manage both pallet and non-pallet goods from the same workspace, and once packed, pallets are assigned to containers and dispatched using Abel’s integrated container management functions. The Pallet Enquiry feature also gives teams a live view of all active pallets and their status.

Speed, accuracy, and confidence

With Abel’s pallet management, businesses gain tighter control over palletised inventory, reduce manual processing, and improve dispatch accuracy. The integration with manufacturing and container processes means fewer touchpoints and less room for error. Workers can operate more efficiently, with real-time visibility and tools that simplify their workflow. This leads to faster turnaround times, better traceability, and fewer costly mistakes – giving you confidence and keeping you competitive in a fast-moving market.
