The perfect solution for fast-paced businesses

Service-driven, we understand the importance of flexibility, cost-effectiveness and final-mile reliability when it comes to meeting the challenges and demands of the modern business. With Palletforce you get all of these things and more – which is why some of the UK’s leading brands choose to work with us.

Sustainable deliveries

Help reduce the carbon footprint of your freight with our sustainable model.

The strength to compete

We provide quality distribution services underpinned by an award-winning technology platform to enable SME businesses to compete with larger corporations, providing the scalability and agility to move quickly in response to market trends and product development.

Palletforce has over 15,000 daily SME trading accounts and our services have been recognised for enabling business when we won the National Business Award for Business Enabler of the Year, across all industry sectors.

Delivering efficiency and cost-savings to your distribution operations

We work with businesses across a range of industry sectors and our services enable the viability of smaller, more frequent consignments – reducing costs associated with stock-holding – and providing a sustainable support solution for producers who have their own transport fleets.

Retail

The retail and FMCG sectors benefit from ‘just in time’ delivery, reducing the need for multi-drop deliveries and inventory. Argos and Sainsbury’s also use Palletforce for return-to-supplier stock from stores to distribution centre.

Food & drink

Our services allow producers to deal directly with the end retailer, reducing the cost and time associated with holding stock and using distribution centres. We handle the next-day delivery of confectionary consignments for Nestle.

Construction

Palletforce can deliver materials to the construction and house building sector overnight with our range of smaller delivery vehicles perfect for site access. We distribute bathroom appliances for Ideal Standard to house builders and retailers across the UK.

E-fulfilment

Our express services are an integral part of the online shopping revolution. We’re also heavily involved with consolidation and collection of return-to-vendor consignments for Amazon.

Home & garden

We’re used by many suppliers to the DIY, home and gardening sectors to deliver goods directly to consumers. We also distribute home supplies on behalf of Kitchencraft to a wide range of national supermarkets and high-street retailers.

Learn more about how we connect trade and enable business

We have our own trucks, can we also use Palletforce for deliveries to more remote locations?

Many businesses use our network for exactly that reason. Our members deliver to every UK postcode every day, so it makes sense to send smaller freight consignments through Palletforce rather than send your own vehicles on long journeys with just a few pallets for remote customers.

I’m a small producer, will I get the same rates as a larger company with more volume?

The beauty of our network is that we provide services and the technology platform to allow smaller businesses to compete with large corporations. We enable business by connecting trade, providing competitive rates to all sizes of businesses backed up market-leading tech, live tracking and delivery notifications.

Reducing the environmental impact of sending your freight

Our model helps reduce the carbon footprint of distributing your goods. Our trucks operate at much higher load fills than the rest of the industry, reducing empty mileage, and our technology constantly identifies areas to improve load capacity and utilisation.

We also provide a solution to help businesses with their own delivery fleets reduce their environmental impact. Instead of sending partly-loaded or multi-drop vehicles to remote delivery areas, using the Palletforce network and its local member companies can reduce unnecessary delivery miles, fuel usage and slash emissions.
