When your product arrives at your customer with shipping damage, everyone loses. Loss to suppliers, manufacturers, customers, and the environment (owners, salespeople, quality or CI personnel). Fortunately, SSI is your strategic packaging partner and we design and test packaging to ensure it survives your supply chain in outstanding condition.
Damage Costs More than You Think
There may be hidden costs to your damage. Besides the loss of the product itself, the cost of your solution, which can be hard to measure, includes returns, replacement product, parts, shipping (both ways), labor, field service, customer service time responding to customers and even the sales team's time. Often the worst problems are due to loss of time: customers get product delayed for days causing them pains with missed deadlines, interruptions to project progress and potential financial penalty due to schedule interruptions. Inconveniences caused by shipping damage have huge consequences such as delaying your customer projects.
Supply Chain
Understanding your delivery supply chain is key for knowing how to protect your products and ensure they arrive in good condition. Shock, vibration, and compression hazards can produce damages that destroy profitability and create customer dissatisfaction.
