Chemicals
Global Collaboration Meets Seamless Integration
The Chemicals industry is a complex market plagued by a large network of distributed partners, increasing global pricing pressures, and ever shrinking product life-cycles. To address these evolving business issues, the Chemicals industry is focusing on automating the distribution of information between trading partners.
SEEBURGER's Chemicals packaged solutions specifically address:
Order Management - In an industry which is based on efficiency, Chemical manufacturers are implementing flexible web portals and B2B processes that allow customers flexibility when entering orders. A complete solution must be able to accept orders from any electronic source as well as cross-check the validity of the data.
Marketplace Integration - The chemical industry has been a leader in defining marketplace coordination, and a complete solution must be able to easily inter-connect with marketplaces such as Elemica.
Process Integration - Chemical companies have taken the lead on implementing more than basic EDI document exchange. Market leading companies are taking full advantage of process integration via the CIDX standard.
Internal Data Distribution - With so many disparate business units, organizations need an internal methodology and architecture to distribute data in a timely fashion to react to market fluctuations and coordinate demand data with production schedules
Product Visibility & Inventory Reductions - In order to stay competitive, Chemical companies need accurate visibility of their raw materials and finished goods. Solutions must include capabilities for:
- Vendor Managed Inventory
- Collaborative Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment
- Message Tracking
- RFID Data Management
100% Partner Integration - Organizations must have flexible solutions to automate trading relationships with their supply chain regardless of their technical capabilities. This includes EDI, XML, CIDX, Web Services, Web Portals, Spoke connectivity, and solutions to process paper and faxes more efficiently.
