Technology buildouts
Custom software built for pallet companies.
When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit the way your yard works, we build what does — customer portals, pickup and inventory tracking, quoting tools, driver apps and the integrations that tie them together. We built the Pallet Union platform the same way.
Built for
- Companies with a process no software handles well
- Yards serving many repeat customers
- Multi-location operators
- Pallet startups building a new model
Sound familiar?
Off-the-shelf software doesn't fit
Generic tools force you to work around them, or charge for a hundred features you'll never use while missing the one you need.
Customers want self-service
Buyers want to see orders, request pickups and download spec sheets and certificates without calling the office.
Systems don't talk to each other
Your website, accounting, dispatch and inventory each hold part of the picture.
What we do
Technology Buildouts, done for you.
Every engagement is scoped to your yard, your service area and your customers — no generic packages.
Customer portals
Online ordering, pickup requests, order history, invoices, ISPM-15 certificates and spec sheets — available to your customers around the clock.
Inventory and pickup tracking
Track cores, recycled grades, new production and pickups across trucks and yards, with simple tablet and phone apps for the yard.
Quoting and spec tools
Branded spec-sheet and quote generators built on the Pallet Union engine, connected to your pricing.
Integrations and automation
Connect accounting, CRM, email, telematics and your website so information flows without re-typing.
Websites and web apps
Fast, secure, modern websites and web applications hosted on reliable infrastructure, maintained after launch.
How it works
- Step 1
Scope
We define exactly what to build, who uses it and what success looks like — with a fixed price for the first version.
- Step 2
Design
Clickable mockups reviewed with the people who will use it every day.
- Step 3
Build and launch
Short build cycles with regular demos, then a careful rollout and training.
- Step 4
Maintain
Hosting, monitoring, updates and new features as your needs grow.
Questions
- Who owns the software you build?
- You do. Custom work is delivered with source code and documentation.
- How much does custom software cost?
- It ranges widely with scope. We start with a fixed-price first version focused on the most valuable features, then grow from there.
- Can you build on top of the Pallet Union tools?
- Yes. Spec sheets, the pallet engine and the directory can be extended or embedded into your own portal.
- Do you support it after launch?
- Yes — hosting, maintenance and improvements are available on a monthly plan.

Related services
Technology Consulting
Inventory spreadsheets, a paper pickup log, accounting software from 2009 and three different ways of quoting. We help pallet companies decide what to fix first, which software is worth buying, and what should be built — without the jargon or the vendor sales pitch.
AI for Pallet Yards
Quote requests, pickup scheduling, spec questions, invoices and follow-ups eat hours every day. We put AI to work on the repetitive parts so your team spends its time on customers and production — not retyping emails into spreadsheets.
CRM for Pallet Yards
Pallet businesses juggle buy-side and sell-side relationships — companies you pick up from, customers you sell to, often the same account. We set up a CRM around that reality, so quotes, pickups, recurring orders and follow-ups stop living in inboxes and notebooks.
