Operational Impact
C.H. Robinson’s solution-driven approach to outsourcing, along with consistent, detailed cost accounting and reporting, has allowed Harvest Time Int’l to focus on its core ministry of helping others in need. | |
The alliance of Harvest Time Int’l’s network and C.H. Robinson’s logistics expertise and capabilities will greatly increase Harvest Time Int’l’s capacity to secure new donor partners and better serve local, national, and international needs. | |
The success of the outsource program benefits all parties involved. Harvest Time Int’l receives more donated products without incurring the high costs of LTL transportation. People in need gain access to more services. Donors face lower handling, transportation, and disposal costs, can maximize their warehouse space, and can easily support charitable outreach. The program also has built-in sustainability, as it repurposes all kinds of products that might otherwise end up in a landfill. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Donations increased 40.5% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. | |
