Project Description

The Client

Our client is one of the top 3 tractor manufacturing companies in India with a total turnover of more than 5000 crores. In addition to tractors the client also manufactures Engines , Farm Equipments & MUV’s.The client has state of the art manufacturing facilities in Punjab & Himachal Pradesh and is one of the fastest growing companies in India. The client exports tractors to more than 50 countries and has set its sight at becoming a major International Tractor Manufacturer.

The issue

With its growing export volume and desired customer satisfaction levels of foreign consumers, the client was looking for a cost effective and reliable transport solution. The traditional packaging method being used was expensive and ineffective which resulted in effected export competitiveness and increment in transit damages.

The Solution

HoliSol worked with the client to implement a cost effective & reliable SKD kitting packaging solution using specially designed steel racks. Tractors are being partially dismantled and then being mounted on steel frames in 1+1 configuration while the loose components are being packed separately into boxes. HoliSol design engineers worked with Client’s manufacturing department and designed steel frames for each tractor variant being exported. The SKD kits were thoroughly tested in simulated Sea Transit conditions to check and improve the Sea transit worthiness of the solution.SKD kit Design was accordingly finalized for each export model.

Result

Safe and secure Transportation: No Transit Damage
Cost Savings: Logistics costs are now 40 % lower than earlier
