POOL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

One Way Service

An expert, fully managed container solution that takes care of everything, from the supply of container assets right through to Supplier onboarding, the management of balances and physical container returns, making them available for suppliers to use again as quickly as possible. Suppliers can concentrate on growing great products, while retailers maximise their sales.

Collection service

Similar to the One Way Service, the key difference being the Suppliers use their own containers within the retailer pool. Container Centralen are the independent Pool Management team who oversee the return of the assets back to the Suppliers as quickly as possible, whilst keeping track of the balances between all parties. This keeps the retailer pool efficient and ensures the hassle free continuous availability of containers.

Management of plant trolleys by CC

A CC managed container pool means a focus on the container asset, monitoring movements and using data to optimise performance. A CC managed pool targets loss reduction where loss prevention is a primary focus. Our experience has found that an independent approach to managing containers provides a platform for efficiences and cost reduction. Pool Management is becoming increasingly popular as more retailers look to switch to the flexibility and benefits it offers, both for themselves and their suppliers.
