* IAPP AIGP certifies individuals, not products. It means named staff hold the credential — not that the platform does.
Bottom line
Pallet sells AI agents that run physical operations for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and logistics providers. Agents handle order entry, shipment execution, customer service, billing, and customs filings across email, voice, documents, API/EDI, and browser. Forge assembles and tests agents, and the vendor claims production go-live in about six weeks. Pricing is outcome-based rather than per seat. Compliance claims cover SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA; model keys, AI audit trails, and support SLAs are not published.
Frequently asked questions
How long does implementation take?
Pallet says most custom agents go live in about six weeks using Forge, its agent-assembling factory, and cites one customer (Eassons Transportation Group) live in 40 days. The engagement starts with a proof of concept, so plan for a scoped deployment rather than a same-week rollout.
How does Pallet price its agents?
No list prices are published. Pallet's FAQ states that buyers start with a proof of concept and then pay for what the agents deliver, not seats or licenses. Budget for a negotiated, outcome-linked commercial agreement, and treat any published per-seat comparison as not applicable.
What systems and channels can Pallet agents work in?
Agents operate through email (Outlook, Gmail, Front and similar), inbound and outbound voice, documents such as PDFs, spreadsheets and scans, REST APIs and EDI (204/210 and similar), web browsers, and remote desktop. That range means legacy applications without APIs can still be automated.
Is Pallet secure enough for enterprise operational data?
Pallet states it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, with CCPA alignment, encryption at rest and in transit, multi-tenant logical isolation, Google Cloud VPC network isolation, role-based access, centralized secret management, and continuous monitoring. Reports and documentation are available in its Trust Center.
Does Pallet train models on our data?
Not stated. The security page says your data stays yours and is never shared, and the AI page describes building a custom model from your data that you keep, but no reviewed page explicitly states whether customer data is used to train or improve models. Get this confirmed in writing before signing.
What results do customers report?
Pallet publishes case studies including Lineage Logistics (2 million tasks automated at over 99% accuracy), Mallory Alexander (triple the shipments per operator with 100% accuracy on import filings), STG Logistics (60% time savings on order entry), and Prism Logistix (10% improvement in operating margins).
