As Pall-Ex Group closes the chapter on 2023, it’s with a sense of accomplishment amidst the backdrop of a logistics industry that has weathered its fair share of turbulence. Navigating through challenges, the company celebrates a year of resilience, growth, and a commitment to excellence.
Pall-Ex Group achieved a 20% increase in new shareholder members, a testament to its dedication to fostering collaboration within the logistics community. This achievement reflects not only the company’s strength but also its ability to forge partnerships in challenging times with shareholder status reaching 98% within the network.
With new shareholder members came an increase in the number of pallets shipped, everything from Bear and Lego sculptures to Santa’s sleigh was delivered by shareholder members across the UK and beyond.
Furthermore, they bolstered their workforce by welcoming 50+ new staff members, introducing a mixture of experienced industry talent and new faces that bring knowledge from other sectors.
Looking ahead to the new year and continuing to embrace innovation, Pall-Ex Group will develop industry-leading technologies, notably the NexusETA system. In 2024, they intend to deliver the latest update to the award-winning Nexus platform, which brings a suite of new features that will take customers’ and members’ experience to the next level.
Integral to this success is the role of artificial intelligence, which has contributed to operational efficiencies. The innovative use of AI technologies, in synergy with NexusETA, has proven instrumental in delivering optimisation, decarbonisation and innovation to fleet operators.
Decarbonisation will continue to be a focus for the company, an issue transcending the business and industry. The business will introduce an eco-friendly fleet, from hybrid company cars to hydrogen/electric-fuelled forklifts in the warehouse.
