Discover how intelligent ERP can help address process efficiencies and accelerate innovation

Quality, risk and regulation remain top priorities as chemical companies face an evolving regulatory environment, increasingly compete for quality and manage various risks. For years, this process-intensive industry has been struggling with shrinking margins, commoditization of products, competition (especially from developing countries) and customers demanding more with less. While growth strategies have focused on mergers and acquisitions, digital capabilities offer an unprecedented opportunity.
Chemical companies' business processes-especially manufacturing, sales, marketing, and quality-represent opportunities to improve performance and are therefore the starting point for any digital transformation initiative. Manufacturers who have made these investments see an immediate impact on productivity and profitability.

Hampered by their ERP heritage

How can chemical manufacturers successfully compete in the digital economy?

In the past, chemical manufacturers have invested in outdated legacy systems, highly customized applications and "financial" ERP, creating a technical debt that is a nightmare to solve. This archaic ERP heritage, coupled with the continued use of spreadsheets, is what is preventing companies from moving forward on their digital transformation journeys, and is one of the key challenges they need to solve.
The top 3 ERP weaknesses that the chemical industry manifests are:

The system is transactional and does not provide real-time information.
Does not include industry-specific functions immediately
It is too complex to customize it to suit your specific needs.

ERP chaos causes lack of information accessibility

What prevents company leaders from achieving their goal: to offer safe products at a lower cost.

There are many elements, actions, dates and compliance issues to follow when managing chemicals. Industry is consuming more information than ever before, but is not necessarily using it to its advantage. Being able to access data in real time and intelligently apply it in the context of business processes will dramatically improve the value delivered to customers, offering safe products at lower cost. This is only possible with the right ERP solution.
