Success story: Solar tech company
Challenge
A leading manufacturer of solar tech products faced a high rate of claims on microinverters damaged in transit. They also struggled to reliably meet delivery dates of their software-driven home solar energy products, jeopardising timelines.
Solution
C.H. Robinson provides ongoing analysis of the company's shipping data to manage on-time delivery performance. The company has moved to more protective packaging, leverages carriers with specialized equipment, and uses consolidation solutions to decrease touchpoints and damage.
Result
The solar company achieved an on-time delivery percentage rate of 99% while decreasing claims on damaged goods to 1%.
