About Tony Innaimo Transport
Tony Innaimo Transport has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the most successful, reliable, and cost-effective, privately-owned transport companies in the area. Despite our rapid growth the organisation continues to retain its values and strong, family-based culture; we love to see everyone happy, especially our staff.
The Challenge
Tony Innaimo Transport is a high-volume freight and logistics operator, handling a wide variety of palletised goods daily. With constantly changing freight sizes, weights, and configurations, maintaining load stability, efficiency, and cost control is critical.
Before partnering with Omni, the business faced common industry challenges:
- High plastic consumption from traditional stretch wrapping methods
- Inefficient wrapping processes requiring ramps and extra handling
- Difficulty securing mixed and irregular freight loads
- Limited value from suppliers beyond just product supply
With growing volumes and a need to improve both operational efficiency and staff engagement, Tony Innaimo Transport turned to Omni for a smarter solution.
Omni implemented a complete wrapping and consumables solution, centred around the Plana Pallet Wrapping Machine, Elite Stretch Wrap, and Omni’s unique Rewards Program.
1. Plana Pallet Wrapping Machine – A Game Changer
The introduction of the Omni Plana Pallet Wrapping Machine transformed the way pallets are wrapped on-site.
Unlike traditional systems, the Plana’s low-profile design eliminates the need for ramps, allowing for faster, simpler pallet loading.
QLD State Sales Manager, Kelvin Steele comments, “When you have a Plana in place… you don’t need a ramp anymore. It’s far easier.”
The results speak for themselves — pallets are wrapped tightly, securely, and consistently, even with mixed freight:
Les Potae, RDC Manager emphasises, “It’s all different size freight and everything grabs it, holds it — you can’t grab anything out of there. It does everything.”
With the Plana system in place, Tony Innaimo Transport now wraps approximately:
- 250 pallets per day, with consistent quality and speed
The scalability of the solution also allows additional machines to be deployed quickly as volumes grow, ensuring operations keep pace with demand.
2. Elite Stretch Wrap – Less Plastic, More Performance
Paired with the Plana machine is Omni’s Elite Machine Stretch Wrap and Elite Plus Hand Wrap, delivering industry-leading performance and efficiency.
By leveraging Omni’s pre-stretch technology, Tony Innaimo Transport achieved a dramatic reduction in film usage:
Kelvin Steele notes of when he first visited Tony Innaimo, “When I walked in here you were using 20 microns… now we’re stretching it down to below 5 microns — like a 4x reduction in plastic.”
This shift delivers multiple benefits:
- Significant cost savings on stretch film
- Reduced environmental impact through lower plastic use
- Improved load containment, even with complex freight
“That’s what it’s about — efficiency, dollars, reliability.”
The Elite wrap ensures every pallet is tightly secured while maximising yield from every roll.
3. Omni Rewards Program – Turning Packaging into Performance Incentives
Beyond operational improvements, Omni introduced something unique — a Rewards Program that directly benefits the Tony Innaimo Transport team.
Through everyday purchasing, the business earns reward points that are reinvested into staff incentives:
With regards to the Rewards Program, Les speaks of where the Rewards go, “I give them to staff as incentives… the best picker for that week gets rewarded.”
This has created a powerful cultural impact:
- Boosted staff morale and engagement
- Encouraged performance and productivity
- Delivered incentives at no additional cost to the business
Kelvin Steele comments, ‘You’re doing nothing more and you’ve now got staff incentives… it keeps people happy and shows they’re not just a number.”
4. Complete Packaging & Consumables Solution
In addition to wrapping solutions, Omni supplies Tony Innaimo Transport with a full range of consumables, including:
- Thermal labels (standard and colour-coded) for clear freight identification
- Dangerous goods labels for compliance
- Pallet top sheets for load protection
- Markers and warehouse consumables
- Safety gloves for workplace protection
By consolidating supply through Omni, the business benefits from simplified ordering, fast delivery, and a single point of contact.
Les comments, “Everything’s just a lot easier… you place the order, get confirmation, and it shows up the next day.”
