Order Entry Errors
A customer service rep miskeys a chemical grade from an email, resulting in the wrong formulation being shipped to a manufacturing plant.
Customer Portals
B2B Commerce
Digitize bulk chemical ordering.
We build secure B2B portals where distributors can place bulk orders, track hazardous freight logistics, and download batch-specific quality documents.
- Custom B2B e-commerce engines designed for the complexities of bulk chemical inputs (totes, IBCs, tankers)
- Automated logistics calculations for dangerous goods, compatibility rules, and freight surcharges
- Seamless integration with legacy ERP systems (SAP, JD Edwards, NetSuite) for live pricing and inventory
Complex pricing and hazmat rules break standard e-commerce.
Chemical supply chains are notoriously complex. Standard Shopify or Magento stores cannot handle the reality of the sector: customer-specific pricing tiers, complex volume rebates, hazardous goods segregation, and bulk packaging rules. When ordering is manual, your customer service team becomes an expensive bottleneck.
Logistics Failures
An order is accepted but later rejected by logistics because incompatible dangerous goods were placed on the same manifest.
Stockouts
Distributors place orders blindly without knowing if the product is actually in the tank, leading to backorder frustration.
The deliverables
Custom B2B commerce engines.
We build bespoke ordering platforms that understand the specific business logic of chemical manufacturing.
Custom Pricing Engines
Logic layers that query the ERP in real-time to display the correct price based on the logged-in customer's contract.
Dangerous Goods Calculators
Checkout logic that automatically checks UN numbers and packing groups to prevent incompatible shipping combinations.
ERP Middleware
Secure Node.js translation layers that securely read/write orders directly into SAP without exposing the core database.
Self-Serve Dashboards
React-based interfaces where users can view order history, track tanker deliveries, and download invoices.
Featured Chemical Platform
Digitizing bulk formulations.
See how we helped a global specialty chemicals manufacturer build a headless product platform that automatically matches specific polymer formulations to regional SDS compliance requirements.
Chemical TechB2B Commerce & Compliance
Project Overview
From laboratory to logistics.
We developed a custom B2B portal that allows distributors to order bulk IBCs, track hazardous freight via IoT integrations, and instantly download batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (CoA) without calling customer service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about chemical industry tech.
How do you handle complex regulatory and compliance data?
We build structured databases (often via headless CMS like Sanity) that link products to specific regional regulations (REACH, EPA). This ensures that a technical buyer in Europe automatically sees the correct SDS and compliance documents for their jurisdiction.
Can you integrate B2B ordering portals with legacy ERPs like SAP?
Yes. Chemical supply chains run on complex legacy ERPs. We build secure API middleware layers that sit between your modern distributor portal and your ERP, translating modern web requests into the specific formats your backend system requires for order entry and inventory.
How do you handle hazardous freight calculations?
We build custom logic engines into the checkout process. The platform automatically checks UN numbers, packing groups, and dangerous goods classes, calculating specific hazmat freight surcharges and preventing incompatible chemicals from being placed on the same pallet.
