Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry Challenges

Misaligned R&D and Procurement

Cross-functional efforts to source new raw materials are significantly slowed by siloed data systems and fragmented processes preventing collaboration across departments

Supplier & Plant Fragmentation

Without centralized visibility, individual plants may source identical materials from different suppliers, missing bundling opportunities and reducing cost synergies

Complex Sourcing & Lack of Supplier Transparency

Inconsistent material coding and missing pricing history hinder standard tendering, price planning, and digital sourcing, reducing efficiency and strategic impact
