Find out how IPP supports global agribusiness Flamingo Flowers by providing reliability, responsiveness and flexibility through an optimised supply chain.
IPP’s closed pallet pooling system ensures:

- Flexibility and responsiveness
Ensuring our customer can keep up with demand
During Flamingo Flowers’ peak season, the number of pallets transported by IPP increases more than 100%. Our customer relies on IPP to keep its supply chain moving with a reliable supply of pallets, enabling it to transport products efficiently from its farms to retail customers.
With the company growing 5% year-on-year, it requires IPP to ensure pallet supply keeps pace with increased demand and maintains a consistently high service level.
Vanuza Machado, UK inbound logistics co-ordinator, said: “We’ve been working with IPP for more than 10 years, building a strong and collaborative partnership over that time.
“This long-standing partnership is built on reliability, open communication and a shared focus on continuous improvement. As our business grows across the UK and Europe, having trusted partners who understand our operations is more important than ever.”
Sustainability focus
Flamingo Flowers has taken several steps to reduce its carbon footprint with initiatives such as renewable energy investment and lower chemical usage. IPP’s focus on sustainability, innovation and added value are key parts of the partnership. Our use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and its advanced forecasting and planning capabilities optimises product flows during peak periods, reducing waste and unnecessary miles. “Key events like Mother’s Day bring a significant uplift in volume, so flexibility and responsiveness are crucial. IPP supports us by ensuring pallet supply keeps pace with increased demand, helping us manage peak volumes smoothly and maintain service levels during our busiest periods.” Vanuza Machado
