Leading solar tech company improves on-time delivery while reducing claims

Challenge:

The company faced challenges in reliably meeting delivery dates of their software-driven home solar energy solutions, putting project timelines in jeopardy. They also had to overcome a high rate of claims on microinverters damaged in transit.

Solution:

C.H. Robinson analyses the company's shipping data to manage priority key performance indicators (KPIs) like on-time deliveries. To reduce claims, C.H. Robinson helps them move to more protective packaging, leverage carriers with specialised equipment, and use consolidation solutions to keep products safe while decreasing touchpoints.

Result:

  • On-time delivery percentage increased to 99%
  • Claims on damaged goods decreased to 1%

“C.H. Robinson’s expertise and Navisphere technology have been critical to getting our on-time percentage up double digits to 99% and keeping our projects on timeline and on budget. ”

-Director, Planning & Fulfillment

One of the largest solar ground-mounting system manufacturers reduces costs with Navisphere

Challenge:

Due to short lead times, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of solar energy ground-mounting systems wasn’t always able to secure flatbed capacity. Often, they had to pay high prices to find a carrier at the last minute. Delays in delivery resulted in liquidated damages, costing the company up to $10K per load, per day.

Solution:

Using Navisphere technology, C.H. Robinson helps them plan shipment schedules in advance. They now work with vendors for additional lead time to make planning easier and save money on transportation.

Result:

  • Guaranteed capacity from C.H. Robinson
  • Fewer liquidated damages eating into profits

“C.H. Robinson has technology to make my supply chain run smoother—from getting the capacity I need for my time-sensitive freight, to providing detailed visibility to all of the job locations on when shipments will arrive, which helps us plan more effectively and stay on budget. ”
