A specialist in solar energy

Improved vendor arrangements deliver increased volumes and greater profit margins for our customer

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A solar specialist which used many ports and inland container depots needed to improve his overall transportation set up in order to ensure new vendors could work on his products. Peak season would create additional challenges.

Our customer's business challenges

This solar specialist customer required much improved vendor arrangements in order to streamline his transportation processes. Trailers had to be organized to accommodate much greater volumes, especially during the peak season.  Additional manpower was needed for the loading equipment arrangement at the various remote locations. Bookings needed to be set up and aligned as per customer expectations and all the sites and local staff had to be briefed and organized to ensure they had the right equipment.

TRANSFORMATION STORY

Our key actions to meet our customers' expectations

CEVA started by meeting all the local players and gave them a full introduction to the company so they understood the specialized work involved.

Next our on-site team visited all the ports and Inland Container Depots and arranged trailers from those same locations and nearby transport hubs.

We then employed experienced manpower – people who had already worked on similar projects, and hired them as per the project requirements.

We also engaged with various shipping lines and matched the target bookings with relevant services.
