About Us

We are an innovative supply chain technology company modernizing one of the most fundamental components of global logistics: the pallet. We have developed a Smart Pallet solution that combines traditional physical pallet infrastructure with embedded sensor technology providing businesses with real-time visibility and actionable data as products move through their supply chains.

Unlike a traditional pallet that simply transports goods from one location to another our technology can capture important information throughout the logistics journey including:

  • Real-time location and asset tracking
  • Temperature and humidity monitoring
  • Shock and impact detection
  • Movement and transportation visibility
  • Supply chain accountability and traceability

This data helps customers reduce theft and product loss prevent spoilage identify transportation and handling issues improve accountability between partners and make more informed operational decisions. Operating on a leasing model (approximately $10$12 per pallet per month) our individual customer relationships represent significant long-term contract value as clients often deploy thousands or tens of thousands of pallets.

We are currently entering an important growth phase and building out our outbound sales capability ahead of the 2027 procurement cycle. We are looking to hire 23 high-performing outbound sales professionals who can proactively identify target companies engage senior decision-makers and create qualified sales opportunities for company leadership.

The primary objective is to create conversations with senior business leaders (CFOs VPs and decision-makers in supply chain operations logistics procurement and finance) who can understand and act on the strategic value of our technology. The strongest candidates will be comfortable selling a business outcome and strategic value proposition rather than simply describing product features.
