iMove's requirement to Alucan was the availability of the wooden pallets at iMove's site within 30mins for 90% of all requests as long as the requests were made 2-hours in advance.

Justin's predecessor had threatened to sue Alucan for breach of contract, but Alucan had said that there is no contract in place.]]> 2021-12-03 03:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/iszharz/9pqbzyfhmit5wyb8/wish/1926621218 iszharz https://padlet.com/iszharz/9pqbzyfhmit5wyb8/wish/1926634117 Although verbal agreements are legally binding, they are often difficult to prove as there is not any black and white. 

When both iMove and Alucan management decided to formalize the ad-hoc supply into a contract at the end of 2016, there was an objective to establish legal links. However, Alucan did not sign it but kept on supplying to iMove. This can be considered as an acceptance by conduct.

Alternatively, they could consider sharing their wooden pallet demand in real-time through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with automatic triggers purchase orders to Alucan to deliver the wooden pallets when demand spikes.

Justin might alternatively utilize a blanket purchase order (BPO), which is typically used when a constant requirement for expendable items from the same supplier (Alucan). This provides iMove with long-term stability and ensures that there will be no future shortages.]]> 2021-12-03 04:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/iszharz/9pqbzyfhmit5wyb8/wish/1926664914
