Digital platform for pallet exchange: RCG relies on PCT Online

Digital, transparent, cross-border: with the new PCT Online platform, ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is taking pallet exchange to the next level. From now on, exchange processes can be managed via the Pallet Control Tower (PCT) solution – either through a browser or conveniently via app.

The start of the cooperation with Pallet Control Tower (PCT) in summer 2025 marked the beginning of a new era in global load carrier management: the PCT Online platform enables the digital exchange, purchase and sale of EUR pallets and reusable transport items (RTIs) – standardised, transparent and across national borders. The Dutch company PCT brings the technological expertise, while RCG provides the logistical implementation power: together, the cooperation partners are setting new standards in digital load carrier exchange.

RCG: bridging technology and practice 

While PCT provides the digital infrastructure for international pallet and RTI exchange, RCG plays a key role as a strategic partner by integrating PCT Online into its network and making it accessible to partners and customers. This creates the foundation for widespread adoption of digital processes in load carrier exchange – helping customers make their supply chains more efficient, transparent, and sustainable.

Simple, efficient and ready to use 

PCT Online is both simple and user-friendly: the web-based platform is accessible via browser or conveniently via app. Registration is free of charge. This not only digitalises the exchange of load carriers but also standardises it – a crucial step toward modern and resource-efficient logistics processes.

The benefits are clear. The digital solution reduces organisational effort and lowers costs.  Partners can expand their service portfolio without additional investment, while customers benefit from a consistent and reliable service. Complex exchange processes no longer need to be managed individually – they are handled through a unified digital solution.
