Challenges
As Kirby expanded operations across multiple regions, cracks began to show in their traditional logistics processes.
Manual tracking via calls & emails 🡢 delays & errors
COVID-19 exposed fragility of operations
70+ offices, 7 factories 🡢 no unified system
Customer confidence at risk due to inconsistent updates
These challenges underscored the urgent need for a smarter, technology-driven approach to supply chain management, one that could provide visibility, control, and resilience in real-time.
The Turning Point
“One of our shipments was unexpectedly held at a transshipment port. With GoComet tracking, we had full real-time visibility of this event and could immediately inform our customers with proof and supporting data. We were able to react promptly and meet our delivery commitment. This helped us protect the trust and confidence our customer had in us.”
