One Way Solutions<\/a> in Northfield, Illinois (just outside Chicago) in 2002 to sell plastic pallets used for shipping a wide variety of products around the globe. \u201cBeing immersed in the industry,\u201d says marketing manager Robin Kiefer, \u201cit was a natural path for Brian to leverage his innate expertise and engineering background to start his own plastic pallet company.\u201d<\/p>\nLed by Brian\u2019s brother Andy, the company\u2019s national sales manager, One Way Solutions\u2019 sales team averages 26 years of industry experience, so it\u2019s safe to say they know pallets. Nestable pallets, stackable pallets, rackable pallets\u2014One Way Solutions has them all. The industry has taken note and One Way has become the go-to partner for launching new products.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Plastic Pallet Advantage<\/h2>\n
The plastic pallets One Way Solutions sells have several benefits over wooden pallets. They are recyclable and reusable, making them 100% sustainable. The plastic pallets are more durable and lighter than wood, which means they last longer and cost less to ship.<\/p>\n
Plastic shipping pallets are also impervious to insects and microorganisms\u2014issues that can make wood pallets a danger to forests when shipped from one region to another. As a result, One Way Solutions\u2019 pallets are not subject to any import or export restrictions, including ISPM-15, an international measure designed to prevent transfer of harmful insects or disease through wood.<\/p>\n

Integrations for Higher Customer Satisfaction<\/h2>\n
Kiefer says two main things set One Way Solutions apart from its competition: aggressive pricing and a devotion to complete customer satisfaction. The company\u2019s focus on customer service led it to look into a live answering service.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they do us the honor of calling, it’s important that they speak to a human being. Ultimately, our customers need to know that they’re not getting lost in the shuffle,\u201d Kiefer says. One Way Solutions chose AnswerConnect, he says, because of its service, features, reputation, and value-priced features.<\/p>\n
Since partnering with AnswerConnect, Kiefer says, One Way Solutions has seen higher customer satisfaction from the improved response they\u2019re able to provide with a 24-hour answering service.<\/p>\n
AnswerConnect\u2019s ability and willingness to integrate One Way Solution\u2019s live answering service with its customer relationship management (CRM) system for lead capture is another plus. \u201cThe integration isn\u2019t just convenient, it\u2019s a clear indication that the success of One Way and its customers is first in mind,\u201d Kiefer says. \u201cAnswerConnect treats us with the same high level of responsiveness and respect that we continually strive to offer our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
