This ECRA Toolkit provides guidance to businesses considering the use of display pallets for off-location and aisle end applications. The move to display pallets is not a standalone best practice and it can impact numerous elements of the supply chain. If not implemented with due consideration to these impacts it has the potential to increase costs and reduce efficiencies.
ECRA has been pivotal in delivering aligned positioning between major retail organisations, which in itself will not mitigate costs and complexity but should assist suppliers in avoiding costly duplication of effort.
The Toolkit provides the basis for industry standards and should be supplemented by trading partner discussions and product/category considerations. As the industry matures in its adoption and use of display pallets, ECRA will continue to provide advice and guidance to the industry through additional toolkits, case studies and best practice guides.
