Every pallet, one record from build to trailer.
Build pallets with the cases and lots on them, give each one a pallet label, and scan it onto the trailer against the load plan.
Check the pick list, build and label the pallet, and load against the plan with the paperwork ready.

Build it, label it, load it — one pallet record all the way.
SO-0142: 500 units of Product A, 25 per case. Fictional example: invented names and values, not customer data or a product screenshot.
4 layers × 5 cases = 20 cases of Product A, lot P-0142, recorded on the pallet.

Most plants only know what's on a pallet when someone walks over and looks.
Pallet IDs are paper labels — a pallet rebuild loses the genealogy
Mixed-SKU and mixed-lot pallets fall back to spreadsheets and memory
WMS thinks the pallet is in slot A; the forklift parked it in slot B
Truck loading is sequenced by the loader's instinct, not the route
SSCCs are typed into a portal after the truck has left
Short-ships and over-ships are caught at the retailer DC, not at the dock
Cartons in. Pallet born.
Scan binds carton to lot. SSCC prints. Ledger live before the forklift arrives.
Picker-led packing. System picks the carton.
V5 reads the order profile and tells the picker which carton to grab — S, M or L. They hand-pack, stick the GS1-128 label, and the carton snaps onto the parent pallet. No dimensioners, no scales, no guesswork.
FEFO picks the slot. Scan confirms it.
Wrong slot? The system blocks the drop — not the supervisor.
Sequenced plan. Not memory.
Last-stop-first. Axle balanced. ASN sent from the actual scans — before the doors close.
Trading partners speak EDI. V5 answers natively.
940 in, 856 out, 214 tracked, 997 acked. No middleware shop. No CSV gymnastics. Retailer specs validated before send — chargebacks die at the source.
Every move signed.
Every label scanned.
Every load planned.
Perpetual pallet object (LPN + SSCC)
Mixed-SKU, mixed-lot, mixed-expiry — by design
Build, split, merge, rework — genealogy intact
FEFO put-away + directed replen
Truck loading sequenced + weighed
EDI 856 ASN built from the actual load
Trace from a pallet to its lots
Hold and quarantine status on the pallet
What changes the day this goes live.
- Cycle-count variance drops because every pallet move is system-confirmed
- Short-ship and over-ship chargebacks fall once ASNs match the truck
- Hold and quarantine status is visible when pallets are loaded
- Truck turn-time improves once loaders work from a sequenced plan, not memory
- Mixed-SKU pallets stop falling back to spreadsheets
- Finance and operations stop arguing about month-end inventory variance

Pallet management, answered.
What is perpetual pallet management?+
A pallet ledger where every pallet is a live, license-plate-tracked object from build to retirement — not a label printed at the end of a run.
Does V5 handle mixed-SKU and mixed-lot pallets?+
Yes — natively. Many plants rarely ship one-SKU pallets. V5 tracks contents at the SKU + lot + expiry level inside the pallet and enforces FEFO at the pick face inside the pallet as well as across pallets.
What about pallet build, split, merge and rework?+
All four are first-class operations. Parent/child links and lot proportions persist through every event, so a recall against any original lot still finds every downstream pallet and every downstream customer.
How does V5 handle truck loading?+
Loaders work from a load plan on the kiosk and scan each SSCC onto the trailer, so what was loaded can be checked against the plan. Scale and carrier connections need their own configuration.
Do you issue SSCCs and EDI 856 ASNs?+
Yes. SSCC-18 codes are assigned at pallet build per the GS1 standard, GS1-128 labels printed in-line, and the 856 ASN is rendered from the SSCCs that physically scanned onto the truck — not from the plan.
