Pallet management as a perpetual ledger, from build to truck door.
Every pallet, a perpetual license-plate object — built, moved, loaded, traced. One ledger. One scan. One ASN.
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
Mock recall in under a minute
Quarantine, hold + allergen enforcement
What changes the day this goes live.
- Cycle-count variance drops because every pallet move is system-confirmed
- Mock-recall against a pallet, a lot or an SSCC returns in under a minute
- Short-ship and over-ship chargebacks fall once ASNs match the truck
- Quarantine and allergen status physically cannot board the wrong trailer
- Truck turn-time improves once loaders work from a sequenced plan, not memory
- Mixed-SKU bakery / ingredient pallets stop falling back to spreadsheets
Built against the inspector's checklist.

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. Contents, location, status and genealogy update on every scan, so the system and the floor never drift.
Does V5 handle mixed-SKU and mixed-lot pallets?+
Yes — natively. Bakery, ingredients and dry-mix 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?+
Load plans are generated from the route stops (last-stop-first), axle-weight balance, and temperature zones. Loaders work from a sequenced kiosk plan, scan each SSCC onto the trailer, and an onboard or floor scale reconciles plan vs reality before the doors close.
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.
