Smart Pallet Technology
Every Smart Pallet Has A Brain
Your supply chain is getting smarter. It runs on knowing what's happening on the ground, as it happens. The pallet already touches every node in your network and Pulse turns it into the one asset that finally reports back.
How it works
Ground Truth, From The Pallet Up
Built on exception-based management. You do not monitor 100,000 pallets, you see only what needs your attention.
Sense
Every condition that could cost you: temperature, humidity, shock, location. Built to catch what a wood pallet never could.
Transmit
The pallet reports the moment something changes. No manual scans and no new infrastructure needed.
Surface
Pulse flags the exception and routes it to the right person on the right channel. You do not watch a feed. You get told when it matters.
The result: You spend your time on what went wrong, not watching for it.
The sensor
One Sensor, Every Angle Covered
Built into the pallet, not bolted on.
These four are the readings most programs start with. The module carries more, and the set is configured to the scope of your program rather than fixed.
Location
Eliminate pallet loss and deter theft. Know where an asset is the moment it matters, not just when someone goes looking for it. Stop paying to replace pallets that never actually left the network.
Temperature
Know about a breach while there is still time to act. Protect product integrity and avoid spoilage claims before the truck reaches the dock.
Humidity
Prevent moisture damage to packaging and product before it becomes a write-off. Catch conditions that compromise quality mid-transit, not at delivery.
Shock
Know the exact moment and location of a damage event. Stop absorbing costs you cannot prove, and start filing claims you can win.
Compounding data
Every Signal Adds To The Picture
One reading is a data point. A thousand readings on the same lane become a track record, one that flags the next problem before it costs you anything.
Outcomes
Every Answer You Need Before Anyone Has To Ask
See it. Prove it. Fix it, before it becomes a line item.
Visibility
Location, condition, and status the instant something changes, anywhere in the network, with alerts that reach the right person while there is still time to act.
Accountability
An independent, timestamped record of every handoff. When a claim comes in, you are not arguing from memory, you are arguing from a record neither side can dispute.
Preventative Insight
Your decision structure shifts from reactive to proactive. Every lane builds a track record, so you stop finding out about damage, loss, and inefficiency after the fact.

Every Day, Supply Chains Absorb Costs That Better Data Would Eliminate
| Problem | Today | With Pulse | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | A shipment arrives damaged. No data to prove when or where. You absorb the cost. | Exact location and moment of impact. | $50B+ in annual U.S. freight claims |
| Theft & Shrink | Product disappears in transit. Stolen, misrouted, or never loaded, and you will never know. | Live GPS. Tamper alerts. Instant deviation flags. | $274K average loss per cargo theft |
| Condition | A temperature breach happens mid-shipment. You find out at delivery. | Breach alerts in transit, not at the dock. | $35B lost annually to cold chain failures |
| Custody | You file a claim. It is denied. No proof of who had it, where it stopped, or for how long. | Independent, timestamped record at every handoff, closing the documentation gaps that drive most denials. | 40-55% of freight claims denied |
| DC Efficiency | One facility turns pallets in two days. Another takes six. No data to tell you why. | Dwell time by facility, by lane. | $15.1B in annual detention losses |
| Utilization | Pallets are moving empty while you are paying for more to cover the gap. | Load status in real time. Right-sized fleet. | 16% of miles run empty (trucking industry analog) |
You're paying for problems you can't see. Let's see how much.
See Your SavingsIntegration
No New Infrastructure. No Rip-And-Replace.
Built to integrate with your WMS, ERP, and communication systems. Alerts delivered via push, email, and SMS.
Works On Existing Networks
The sensor reports over existing cellular and Bluetooth networks. No fixed readers and no dock hardware.
Integrates With Your Stack
Pulse connects to the WMS and ERP you already run, rather than asking your team to work in a second system.
Alerts Where People Already Are
Exceptions route to push, email, or SMS, so the person who can act is the person who gets told.
