How Our Pooling & Logistics Services Work
Advantages of Arena IBC Container Management Services
By taking advantage of Arena Products’ IBC pooling and logistics offerings and container management services, customers get a complete system that saves time, labor and disposal costs when transporting all types of non-hazardous bulk liquids and solids.
Logistics Options
Container Management Services and Logistics
- Customers can use the logistics option for intermediate bulk containers they own or rent. This option is included with the trip lease.
- When Arena Fleet Services (AFS) manages the fleet, all the work associated with IBC tracking, overall fleet movement and return to customer is managed by AFS. Billing is done on a per-trip basis.
- Return freight can be paid by AFS and billed. We get attractive freight fares based on the high volume of totes we move.
- Third party freight billing is also available.
IBC Cleaning and Maintenance
- For customers who own, rent or trip lease containers
- Empty intermediate bulk containers are automatically routed to a regional service facility where they are inspected for damage, cleaned and repaired (if required)
- IBCs are then routed back to the fill site to be reused.
Rental Options
Term Rental
This is a monthly rental option where rental term contracts range from month-to-month to 1 year or longer. Arena Fleet Services assumes responsibility for all normal wear and tear, and pricing remains fixed for the term of the contract.
- No capital required
- Normal maintenance is covered
- Customer can cost effectively manage seasonal volume changes or manufacturing volume changes due to contracts
- Lowest cost rental pricing of any 330 gallon bag in box style IBC
Trip Lease
Customers can rent containers on a per-use basis with bundled services, which provides one low price per trip and includes the following:
- Intermediate bulk container asset charge
- Replacement of IBC liquid liner bag
- Return freight to filling location
- Container management services and logistics
- Cleaning, inspection and repair of IBCs as necessary (option)
Once a shipment leaves a customer’s site, AFS (once notified and supplied with the necessary details) will track the shipment, monitor the availability of empties and schedule returns to the fill site.
Benefits include:
- Control costs by paying per usage only
- One all-inclusive price is easier to manage
- Operationally, the trip lease lets the customer participate in and realize the benefits of a returnable container system with no more effort than a disposable one-way system
Let us put our expertise to work for you. No matter what your needs might be, we customize a lease program to match your exact specifications.
Asset Tracking
Arena customers have the option to use our Asset Tracking Management System on their rental totes to always know where there products are and what condition they are in.
Benefits include:
- Container Location
- Container Contents
- Container Damage
- Product Characteristics
Our Asset Management System allows for data input via the internet using either the handheld scanner or a computer. Reports are easily downloaded or printed from the web for your convenience with custom layouts for Fill and Discharge Sites. The web screens are used to report shipments from a Fill Site or to request the pick up of empty containers at a Discharge Site. With this system, you can take the guessing out of the process of shipping your products, making your business more efficient.
