“Manufacturers need both sides of the equation: a modern digital buying experience and the ability to execute simple to complex orders across their networks,” said Paul Carriero, CEO, Elemica. “By partnering with Agilis, we are enabling chemical companies to scale faster, reduce cost-to-serve, and build an AI-ready foundation on top of real execution data.”
Addressing Industry Challenges
Chemical manufacturers have long struggled with fragmented ERP environments, inconsistent product data across channels, manual order processing through fulfillment, and clunky portals that fail to meet modern buyer expectations. Research shows that over 75% of B2B buyers now prefer digital or remote channels, and 39% are comfortable placing orders of $500,000 or more online (McKinsey & Company). Without action, companies risk losing revenue, customer churn, and higher cost-to-serve.
