Brambles companies, including BXB Digital and CHEP, help move more goods to more people, in more places than any other organisation on earth. Our 350+ million pallets, crates and containers are continuously in motion, forming the invisible backbone of the global supply chain and the world’s biggest brands trust us to help them transport their goods more efficiently, sustainably, and safely. We want to ensure we play our part in stopping climate change.

As pioneers of the sharing economy, Brambles created one of the world's most sustainable logistics businesses through the share and reuse of its platforms. To enable us to do this, we need to digitize what we do.

Moving so many pallets to so many customers generates a lot of data – over 2 billion rows and counting. We need to utilize modern methods to capture and analyse data, ensuring that we can track where our pallets are, what they’re being used for and ensuring they return to the pool to be reused in the future. We need to ensure what we build not only works for the now, but for the future as well.
