Pallet Networks
Woodside Distribution is a proud shareholder member of both the Pallet Track and Pallet Xpress networks.
Pallet Track Network
Since joining the Pallet Track network which has over 80 shareholder members, it has surpassed all our expectations in terms of administrative efficiency, service levels and volume growth. We have benefited hugely from the exposure to the cutting edge Pallet Track I.T. System, this web based system is totally live therefore negating the need for outdated manual processes. There is total transparency throughout, with full track and trace from collection through to delivery. The whole process provides our customers with a complete digital journey of their pallet through the network from the point of collection through to final delivery.
Location is all important, the networks 270,000 square foot Central Hub is located in Wolverhampton within easy reach of the M5/M6 Motorway network. Our Midlands and Southern England collections and deliveries are routed through the Wolverhampton hub. This is complimented by the 70,000 square foot Northern Hub in Wigan allows us to effectively collect and deliver within the North East and North West of England.
Pallet Xpress Network
Membership of the Pallet Xpress network allows efficient management and delivery of our Southern Irish pallet flows from our UK and Northern Irish based depots, with the relationship being reciprocal as we deliver the Networks traffic within Counties Antrim and Londonderry. The Palletxpress hub is conveniently located in Ballycoolin, North Dublin allowing ease of access to both the Motorway network and Dublin Ferry Port. The 26 member strong network provides a reliable next day service from County Donegal in the North to County Kerry in the South. The service is underpinned by a robust, cloud based IT system that allows all pallets to be tracked and traced at every step of the journey through to final delivery. All Network employees and members fully trained in the use of the system ensuring a consistently high level of service across the Network. Palletxpress now handles in excess of 2000 pallets per night and to accommodate this and future growth a new 130,000 sq. ft hub is currently under construction in Ballycoolin which will be operational in June 2019.
