Pallet sourcing · Cost intelligence · Vendor network
Defensible pallet procurement starts with real market data.
Track multi-location sourcing on your spreadsheet, benchmark per-pallet pricing against a federally-anchored cost index, and find - or be found in - a network of 7,500 vendors mapped from public records.
The intelligence behind every path
All three paths run on the same underlying cost index.
Whether you came in for sourcing, a subscription, or a vendor listing, every per-pallet number, forecast, and benchmark on this site references PSCI. Here is what it reads today, and how it is built.
This week's PSCI
111.84
+11.84% since January 2024 baseline
As of 2026-05-05 · PSCI v1.3
See Market PulseThe only publicly-reproducible cost index in the pallet category.
A weighted geometric mean of five federal series: BLS Wood Pallet PPI (40%), BLS Softwood Lumber (20%), EIA Diesel (20%), BLS warehouse wages (15%), and BLS OCC (5%). Every value reproduces from public federal data alone. The full historical series is released CC0 public domain.
Atlas+ subscribers get regional sub-indices, 30-day TimesFM 2.5 projections, and exports in Coupa/Ariba schema. The Tuesday Read newsletter is free, every Tuesday at 10 AM ET right after BLS and EIA data drops.
Why this is different
Every per-pallet price has the math behind it. The federal sources are linked. The formula is published.
Most pallet vendors sell you a number and call it a day. We publish the weighted geometric mean composite behind every price (BLS Wood Pallet PPI 40%, BLS Softwood Lumber 20%, EIA diesel 20%, BLS warehouse wages 15%, BLS OCC 5%), the formula that produced it, and the audit log showing how it was computed. The CSV is released into the public domain. When a procurement reviewer asks where the number came from, the answer is one click.
