The PGS pallet account: how it works

Virtual relocation is a logistics service designed to manage pallet flows throughout Europe. It is much like a «  credit-debit  » banking system

• By creating your PGS RLS® pallet account, you credit it with a specific quantity of EPAL/EUR type pallets. The same contact manages your account nationally and globally.
• You commission pallet delivery to supply your shipping sites, we deliver from the closest PGS facility. The number of delivered pallets is debited from your account.
• You specify the place where the pallets can be picked up, PGS (always from the closest facility) collects them and your account is then credited with the number of collected pallets. Any «  pallet  » movement is the subject of a credit or debit operation in your account.

REMEMBER
You make no capital investment, you only spend the pallets that you actually use. Credit pallets to your account, make direct deposits to your shipping sites, and reload your account by specifying the collections that need to be made at the points of arrival.
