Pallets (Legacy App)

Overview

Pallets are typically used as a base for assembling, storing, and transporting goods within a warehouse or during shipment, allowing you to stack and handle them as a single unit load. Skustack's Pallet feature streamlines your operations and improves overall efficiency, allowing you to manage items by the pallet and eliminating the need for individual unit processing. Within the Skustack system, pallets are treated as distinct groups of units that are not associated with specific bins upon creation.

Creating Pallets individually is only possible through the Skustack application, while importing Pallets in bulk can be done through the Skustack Admin.

Manage Pallets

From searching and creating, to editing, deleting, printing labels, and scanning throughout various operations and activities, the Skustack application empowers you to manage your pallets effortlessly.
