Returnable Asset and Pallet Pool Tracking Agent

Returnable assets are tracked by partner, and claims are made with proof and approved by you.

Returnable Asset and Pallet Pool Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Every month pallet fees arrive for pallets you think you returned. This agent reads shipment and receipt records and keeps a balance of pallets, totes and racks by partner. It flags partners whose balance is growing and finds the shipments behind the gap. It drafts claims or credit requests with dates, quantities and proof of delivery. After your next physical count, it checks the balance again and updates the claim. If the count disagrees with the records, it corrects its figures first. You approve any claim or charge. Edge case: a partner who returned pallets on a day that was not recorded is checked against delivery receipts before anything is claimed.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags a partner when the net balance exceeds an allowed number or has grown for 3 weeks, and claims only with documents.

  • Flag a balance over 50 pallets or growing 3 weeks in a row
  • Only claim with signed proof
  • Compare against physical counts quarterly
  • Net credits before claiming

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Balance limit per partner (default 50)
  • Count schedule
  • Pallet types
  • Claim format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Manager approves each claim or charge to a partner

Hard limits

  • Never send claims or charge partners itself
  • Never claim without proof

It stops when

  • Done: claims approved and balances updated
  • Stop: records and counts disagree by more than 10%

An example run

What happensCarrier X showed a net of 112 pallets owed to you, but the count matched only 96. The agent corrected 16 unrecorded returns using delivery receipts, then drafted a claim for 96 pallets with 11 dates and signed proofs. It also flagged a vendor at 38 pallets, under the limit. The manager approved the first claim.
