Values shown are illustrative samples for product preview only and are not derived from live partner data. Live benchmarks are published to subscribers under a data licence.
PalletIndex is built on four categories of anonymised, aggregated data. Partners are onboarded under data licence agreements with strict k-anonymity (n ≥ 5) at the regional level. Raw operational data never leaves the partner perimeter.
A short version. Full document available to subscribers.
Partners deliver weekly aggregated rollups via a documented spec. Only regional and grade-level cells with n ≥ 5 are accepted.
Prices are weighted by verified occupancy so half-empty warehouses cannot drag the benchmark.
Volume-weighted median £/pallet/month per region, published 06:00 GMT every Monday. Revisions are tracked and dated.
Negotiate 3PL contracts against an independent benchmark instead of last year's quote.
Price warehouse-backed lending and business-interruption cover against verified market rates.
Mark industrial assets to market with the only occupancy-weighted rent indicator in the UK.
An early indicator of inventory build, retail demand and supply-chain bottlenecks.
Subscribers receive the full index pack: regional movers, occupancy heat map, cold-chain spread, capacity warnings, and a one-page commentary written by the methodology committee. Delivered by email, CSV and API.
Aggregated feeds from WMS platforms (occupancy), warehouse marketplaces (transactions) and 3PL price submissions. No individual operator, customer or SKU is identifiable in any published value.
Volume-weighted median £/pallet/month per region, weighted by verified occupancy. The full methodology is documented and reviewed quarterly by a subscriber-elected committee.
UK industrial occupancy is at record highs and rates are moving weekly. The published benchmarks from CBRE and Savills are quarterly lease-rate PDFs — too slow and too narrow for operational decisions.
No. Partners only ever share aggregated regional rollups (minimum k-anonymity n ≥ 5). Raw WMS or transaction data never leaves the partner perimeter.
PalletIndex Ltd is the independent publisher. Data partners receive attribution and revenue share under contract. Subscribers receive the feed under a standard data licence.
The first 25 subscribers receive the standard feed at £10,000 per year for the life of their subscription, plus historical back-data and a seat on the methodology committee.
