The Challenges
Our client, the solar PV exporter, faces complex supply chain issues when entering overseas markets, before turning to us.
Intercontinental transportation is the first bottleneck and strong logistics service provider is scarce. Small-scale service providers have difficulty in meeting high qualification requirements and passing strict supplier audit process by listed renewable energy products manufacturer. Furthermore, the fluctuating ocean freight rates, the scarcity of shipping space during peak seasons, and the high financial requirements of the business have raised the entry barriers for suppliers.
The port is another choke point. Hundreds of containers arrive daily, yet they must be swapped and picked up within carrier’s timeframes to avoid surcharges.
Warehouses they used are not satisfactory. The costs are high but tailor-made services are not available. Product sorting is also complicated.
Distribution suffers from insufficient capacity of trucks during peak seasons, failing to meet delivery demands while costs fluctuate widely.
After-sales installation becomes a major issue as the average waiting time for PV installations in certain European countries is over 6 months.
Distribution channels are hard to expand due to intense competition from disloyal overseas distributors and high costs to maintain local sales teams.
In conclusion, this exporter faces many hurdles across the entire global supply chain, from Intercontinental transportation to warehousing, after-sales services, last-mile delivery and distribution. Addressing these issues is critical for their success.
Then they get in contact with us.
