Customer Process:
The customer was polishing seventy boats per week for 50 weeks for a total of 3500 boats annually. By saving 15 minutes per boat, the customer saw significant savings. Farécla reduced labor in steps in their processes, caused less splatter clean-up of the areas, and got better finish results than the incumbent compound and gel coat.
Cost Savings:
The Farécla Profile Premium Liquid Compound reduced polishing times by 15 minutes per boat, and was able to remove one step in their process with black and darker colors and two steps with white or lighter colors. The viscosity of Profile Premium Liquid Compound creates less splatter, and it is water-based which leads to less clean-up.
Total cost savings at this customer was $30,415 annually.
