Pallet Program Builder

Three steps: write a purchase spec and check it against your receivers' rules, compare program costs per trip on your own quotes, then price it against the BLS index and send it out. Your work stays in this page's address, so you can bookmark or share it.

Treatment and use

Conflict checks

  • OK: No conflicts found in the spec as entered.

How the Builder works

The spec checks come from the receivers' own documents: Walmart WFS, Kroger, and the ISPM 15 export rules. The cost comparison uses the formulas on the cost-per-trip calculator; the escalator reads the BLS series stored in this site's database. Documents are generated when you click and aren't stored.
