THE Challenge
Fast delivery of a critical chemical product.
A large OEM faced a safety recall because it misapplied a chemical protectant to 25,000 vehicles. The OEM had to act fast to avoid a potential large-scale buy-back program. They reached out to Kem Krest for an immediate solution.
OUR APPROACH
Swiftly leveraging supplier network and compliance expertise.
We quickly secured an order for the necessary product at a competitive price. In anticipation of the expedited delivery, our in-house compliance and regulatory teams prepped multi-lingual labels needed to follow strict DOT shipping requirements.
When the order arrived at our facility, we were prepared. We relabeled and repackaged it into smaller shipments, sending it to nearly 800 dealers across the US and Canada. We continue to stock this product and ship to dealers as needed.
THE RESULT
Expedited product, safer vehicles, and major cost savings.
OEMs across the world value our expertise, end-to-end fulfillment, and deep network of suppliers. Kem Krest exceeded customer expectations by delivering the first shipments to dealers in only 10 days—shaving off 80 days of lead time! In addition, the OEM maintained their excellent reputation and consumers’ trust. Finally, since they avoided buying back 25,000 vehicles, the OEM potentially saved more than $1.0 billion!
