About iGPS
iGPS provides shippers and receivers with the most advanced and cost-efficient pallet-based shipping solution available today. iGPS' solution is centered on its revolutionary lightweight, 100 percent recyclable plastic pallet with embedded RFID tags -- the world's most advanced shipping platform. When used in conjunction with associated iGPS technologies, shippers and receivers can track, trace and monitor shipments across the supply chain. Businesses that switch from wood pallets to iGPS realize game-changing savings -- as much as $2 per unitized load -- thanks to lower transport costs, reduced production downtime, reduced product damage and fewer rejected loads. iGPS' pallet is also a major advance in supply chain hygiene -- a platform that is easily cleaned, will not absorb fluids that can lead to contamination and never requires treatment with toxic pesticides and fungicides. An independent life cycle analysis has documented that iGPS' solution is dramatically better for the environment than both one-way and multiuse wood pallets. Launched in March 2006, the company has created nearly 2,000 new green jobs in the U.S. and is led by pallet and supply chain veterans with decades of experience. iGPS (www.igps.net) is headquartered in Orlando, FL and operates its state-of-the-art National Sales and Innovation Center in Northwest Arkansas.
