Customer Challenges

Before working with ESUN, the customer faced three critical issues that directly affected hospital supply continuity and operating costs.

1. Unstable Supply Performance

The previous supplier maintained an on-time delivery rate below 70%, frequently causing inventory shortages at hospitals and disrupting procurement schedules.

2. Low Cleaning Efficiency

The existing mop pads released only around 82% of the cleaning solution, while the microfiber structure delivered insufficient dirt removal, increasing chemical consumption and labor costs.

3. Packaging Reduced Product Performance

Traditional vacuum-compressed packaging permanently damaged the microfiber structure, reducing thickness recovery to below 60% and decreasing absorbency after unpacking.

ESUN Solution

To solve both product and supply chain challenges, ESUN implemented a complete customization program.

Stable Supply Chain

• Dedicated production schedule
• Weekly production progress updates
• Permanent safety stock equivalent to one container
• Automated production upgrade increasing manufacturing capacity by 60% 
• Achieved 100% On-Time Delivery

Product Performance Upgrade

ESUN redesigned the mop pad structure by introducing:

• Double-sided overlock edge sealing
• High-density 150D/144F microfiber 
• Optimized liquid distribution channels

Results:

• Cleaning solution release increased from 82% to over 94% 
• Cleaning efficiency improved by 35%

Packaging Innovation

Instead of conventional vacuum compression, ESUN developed a semi-compression packaging solution that preserved microfiber resilience while improving shipping efficiency.

Benefits:

• 99% thickness recovery 
• 20% higher liquid release 
• 30% lower shipping volume 

This significantly reduced logistics costs without compromising product performance.
