How Wen-Parker Helped a Blockchain Company Overcome a Global Chip Shortage & Launch Their Texas Mining Facility
The Challenge:
A Critical Need for Speed in the Face of a Global Supply Crunch
One of the world’s largest cryptocurrency mining operations was racing against the clock. Their state-of-the-art mining facility in Texas was ready to launch—but they were missing the most critical component: the high-performance computer chips required for cryptocurrency mining.
They were facing multiple problems:
- A Global Chip Shortage – A supply chain crisis made sourcing mining chips incredibly difficult.
- Freight Constraints – International air and ocean freight capacity was severely limited, creating massive shipping delays.
- The Clock Was Ticking – Every day the facility wasn’t operational meant lost revenue on a massive upfront investment.
With 3,000 pieces of equipment valued at over $75 million and a total weight of more than 100,000 pounds, getting these shipments to Texas quickly was no small feat. The blockchain company needed a logistics partner who could navigate the chaos, find creative solutions, and execute flawlessly.
That’s where Wen-Parker Logistics came in.
The Wen-Parker Solution:
a Multi-Modal Strategy to Deliver in Record Time
The Wen-Parker team immediately assessed the situation and built a strategy using a combination of air, ocean, and inland transportation to move the shipments as fast as possible.
Leveraging a Network of Trusted Carriers
Thanks to Wen-Parker’s long-standing relationships with reliable air and ocean freight carriers, it secured space on the fastest possible routes, even in a constrained market.
Optimizing Routes for Speed
With shipments originating in Indonesia, Wen-Parker worked across multiple transportation modes to ensure seamless transitions from international waters to U.S. highways.
The Results:
Fast Delivery & a Long-Term Partnership
Over just three weeks, Wen-Parker successfully delivered all 3,000 pieces of equipment to the company’s facility in Texas. It consisted of six separate shipments, all using different routes based on what was most effective at the time.
The company was so impressed that they continued to work with Wen-Parker to keep a consistent supply of computer equipment moving toward their facility.
