Operational Impact
Despite the explosive spike in demand and a new customer base, Cloud Paper managed to stay true to its mission of preventing deforestation. The company's agility and Flexport’s customer service allowed Cloud Paper to obtain toilet paper more reliably and meet the urgency of a new market, just in time. The company was also able to maintain transparency with their customers, a core value that was upheld with data from Flexport’s platform. Furthermore, Cloud Paper's commitment to sustainability was reinforced by its partnership with Flexport and Carbonfund.org, enabling the company to invest in large-scale reforestation efforts that offset emissions from the transportation of their product. This strategic approach allowed Cloud Paper to meet the needs of the moment and generate lift right after launch. | |
