About RM2
RM2 revolutionized the concept of reusable pallets by introducing smart BLOCKPal™ composite pallets that integrate autonomous IoT sensor technology. This technology facilitates the transmission of data from the pallet’s location and condition to the cloud via the LTE-M network, without necessitating any additional hardware or IT development or training. RM2’s cloud-based supply chain intelligence platform, known as End-to-end Logistics Intelligence Optimization and Tracking (RM2 ELIoT), captures and contextualizes various data, including location, temperature, shock, and event data, thereby providing real-time end-to-end supply chain visibility and actionable insights to customers.
The Company’s cost-effective, scalable, and eco-friendly pallet pooling system operates through a nationwide network of over 30 service facilities, enabling the issuance, retrieval, and sanitization of over 1.5 million reusable IoT pallets annually.
