Piloting Reusables:
Your risk-free path to savings and sustainability
Pilots let you see reusables in action with minimal lift. Tosca customizes every pilot to your goals, so you can measure impact before committing.
Why 90% of pilots result in full conversion to reusables
Piloting with Tosca gives you a low-risk way to prove value before committing to a full rollout. It’s an opportunity to gather real data, build confidence, and fine-tune your approach for long-term success.
Validate benefits in your operations
A pilot allows you to measure savings and benefits with reusables in real operational conditions. Most pilots deliver measurable results within just 1-2 weeks.
Build stakeholder confidence
Provide your stakeholders with proof of success before a full rollout. A pilot equips you with data to address concerns and secure buy-in across your organization.
Optimize products & process for your supply chain
Pilots allow you to identify and resolve challenges before a full roll-out. We’ll solve for reverse logistics, storage concerns, and special requirements on a smaller scale, ensuring a smoother transition once fully converting.

Piloting FAQs
How much is Tosca responsible for, versus what my team needs to do?
During your pilot, your Tosca team:
- Handles all pilot planning and execution.
- Sets up suppliers and trains both teams.
- Provides boots-on-the-ground support at launch.
- Manages reverse logistics, tracking, and optimization.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Selecting the location(s) to include in a pilot (although we can advise you).
- Educate your internal team using materials we can build for you.
- Share key details like volumes, shippers, return locations, etc.
How quickly will I see results?
Most pilots reveal measurable damage reduction within 1–2 weeks.
How much time will my team need to commit?
Minimal. Tosca handles the heavy lifting: planning, training, execution, and reporting.
Will this disrupt my supply chain?
Tosca designs pilots to minimize disruption while maximizing results.
What happens if the pilot works?
Converting to a full program is seamless — 90% of pilots roll into permanent solutions.
Why should I pilot now?
Every year of delay means lost product and higher labor costs. Margins have never been tighter – and it’s never been more critical to explore innovation in your supply chain. Piloting gives you the confidence to act without the risk of full conversion upfront.
