Rental

Rental of crates and packaging by HB RTS

HB RTS provides tailor-made RTI solutions and related services in the supply chain that help to reduce your costs and improve your carbon footprint. From rental, management and cleaning to optimization of logistics flows, we take care of it!

Crates rental

We rent out various types of crates, rolling load carriers, pallets and pallet boxes for the short or long term hire, helping you with your peak demands throughout the year and also saving you the expense of buy new items to cover those peaks. This allows us to relieve you of peak demand and also avoid major financial expenditure. We have our own range of RTIs and we also offer tailor-made solutions based on your needs.

Why rent a crate and other packaging and logistics resources from HB RTS?

Renting fresh boxes has a number of important advantages:

  • Flexibility: no long-term contracts and always the option to switch types.
  • Minimal cost: No cash-out or large investments required so you can use capital for other primary sales and production processes.
  • Quick response: Prevent pool slack in peaks season and also avoid costly storage in low peaks.

Avoid expensive rental

Packaging is always expensive to purchase. By renting packaging, you don’t have to invest in these packaging products. As a consequence, you avoid costly investments and limiting company cashflow, allowing you to invest in marketing or production. In addition, you benefit from the consistent quality of our packaging.

High degree of flexibility

Renting RTIs offers you a high degree of flexibility. You are not bound by long-term contracts. Many of our customers are regularly confronted with product range changes at retailers, as a result of which packaging and RTI flows change. By renting RTIs, you as a producer can quickly and easily change the type of RTIs you use or change contracts with retailers.

Easy to respond to changes

We rent out our range on a fixed or flexible basis and in the short and long term. This makes renting very attractive for parties that go through seasonal peaks. Flexibility is a key factor. The short-term rental contracts absorb the peaks when necessary. As a consequence, you’ll never be without load carriers and also avoid the packaging taking up expensive storage space for the rest of the year.

If you decide to rent RTIs from HB RTS, you can count on direct and personal cooperation with your needs first and foremost. Together, we’ll find the most suitable solution for your company and your logistics needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Returns management for retail

At HB RTS we offer tailor-made RTI solutions and related services to reduce your costs in the supply chain and improve your carbon footprint. From rental, management and cleaning to optimization of logistics flows, we take care of it! Handling complete returns management is one of our services.

What does managing reverse logistics entail?

We take care of the complete handling of your company's returns. We do this particularly for organizations with complex return flows in the retail. For example, we’re responsible for counting, sorting, registering and transporting packaging and load carriers to your suppliers. Of course, we ensure proper administrative handling of all returns. You are taken care of during the entire process so that you can keep your focus on your primary process.

Outsource returns management

We process different types of retail returns, such as:

  • Crates (Fresh box, EPS)
  • Roll containers
  • Dollies and Rollies
  • Pallets
  • PET and cans
  • Paper
  • Beer and soda crates

Cost reduction by outsourcing your returns management

Many of our customers experience a significant cost reduction by outsourcing return logistics. Thanks to our experience and the techniques we apply, we work efficiently and can accurately count all returns. This results in a major reduction in deposit shortages.

We use dock scanning for counting, where the returns flow passes through a scanner so it is no longer necessary to count returns at the point of sale. This saves you many man-hours and you’ll experience considerably less wastage. This makes outsourcing return management very cost-efficient for you and any franchisees.

Why HB RTS is the right partner for handling your returns

Every return handling flow is different, which is why we fully tailor our services to your needs and wishes. We try to organise the return process as efficiently as possible to provide a total solution, in which we combine several services. In addition, we’re very flexible and we naturally adjust our cooperation to changes in your return flow.

Pool management

Pool management of packaging and load carriers

We take care of the complete management of your packaging pool

We provide tailor-made RTI solutions and related services in the supply chain that help reduce your costs and improve your carbon footprint. Taking care of the full packaging project management is one of our services.

Who can benefit from packaging project management?

Managing RTIs takes a lot of time. You can outsource this to HB RTS. We take care of the full packaging project management, in order for you to be able to focus on your core business. Packaging project management and the outsourcing of packaging management is particularly interesting for companies that work with multiple retailers or that have partial deliveries to other producers. In case of the latter, we can transfer balances administratively to also reduce transport costs and unnecessary CO₂ emissions.

Why choose HB RTS for returnable packaging management?

Thanks to our depot structure, we can save many transport kilometers for you. We have various cleaning locations. As a consequence, it is possible to clean and collect the packaging at your chosen location. This saves us more than 100,000 transport kilometers annually, helping us make the supply chain more sustainable.

Packaging is our core business. Our team is highly experienced and is in daily contact with all parties involved, such as retailers, suppliers and the pool manager, to ensure that the processes run smoothly. We have specific knowledge and know-how in the field of efficient packaging management.

As a supplier, we completely unburden you by planning and handling the returns and balances at your retailers. Everything is tracked in our registration system. This guarantees a very clear and efficient process.

Our approach to packaging project management

Before we start managing your packaging, we will analyse the current and desired packaging flows together with you. This gives us a clear picture of the size of the logistics flows. We distinguish between your packaging processing to affiliated retailers and/or your other packaging flows to your B2B customers.

We take care of the follow-up of your credit balances with your affiliated retailers. For example, we ensure that your outstanding stock at affiliated retailers remains as low as possible. As a consequence, you always have enough packaging available. This prevents any additional rental of packaging being necessary.

As soon as packaging is available, it is immediately taken to one of our depots and added to the stock in your account. All transactions are immediately visible in our packaging management system. If desired, we take care of the transport of the load carriers. Of course, it is also possible to manage your own transporter or transport department. We are very flexible.
