Windmar Case Study: Scale Solar Installs Without Stockouts
How Windmar Home, one of the largest renewable energy companies in the Caribbean, scaled solar installations and eliminated stockouts by making Nauta its single source of truth.
About Windmar
Windmar Home is one of the largest renewable energy companies in the Caribbean, with operations in Puerto Rico and Florida. The company specializes in solar energy systems, installing more than 100 systems daily. In an industry heavily affected by supply chain disruptions, stockouts pose a critical risk to both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
For Windmar, ensuring uninterrupted access to solar panels and batteries is essential to maintaining its leadership position in the renewable energy market.
Nauta as a Solution
For Windmar, Nauta improves day-to-day operations by providing greater reliability and efficiency. It also helps address one of their main challenges: avoiding stockouts while scaling installations. By consolidating data, coordinating suppliers, and providing accurate shipment visibility, Nauta serves as the single source of truth.
With Nauta, Windmar achieved:
• Improved forecasting: Reliable ETAs Reduce uncertainty and allow proactive supply planning. • Seamless collaboration: Replacing 10–15 fragmented players with one consolidated platform, cutting delays and complexity. • Predictive insights: Data-driven alerts and trend analysis help anticipate potential disruptions before they impact installations. • Business intelligence for decision-making: Actionable analytics on supplier performance, inventory trends, and operational efficiency give Windmar the tools to continuously optimize its supply chain and scale with confidence. • Accurate, real-time shipment tracking: Visibility from port to warehouse ensures materials are always where they need to be.
Improved Fill Rate and Stock Reliability
Windmar's fill rate jumped from 74% to 90%, ensuring solar panels and batteries are always available for customer installations. The company has not run out of stock since implementing Nauta.
We've never run out of stock of anything since using Nauta. I'm sure our customers are happy about that.
Productivity Gains
By consolidating operations and automating manual workflows, Windmar increased productivity by at least 50%. The company now accomplishes the same workload with fewer resources, reducing operational strain while scaling to meet demand.
Traditionally, we had to coordinate with 10 or 15 different players just to get the equipment we needed. Now, with Nauta, productivity has gone up at least 50%.
End-to-End Efficiency
Instead of coordinating with multiple stakeholders, Windmar now has one integrated platform. This efficiency eliminates delays, strengthens supplier management, and ensures timely deliveries to customers.
It's a great tool, a great partner. Everyone importing even a few containers a month should look into this type of solution.
