Emerald Performance Materials Outsources Domestic & International Transportation Through ChemLogix LLC
In order to improve logistics processes and service performance of its global chemical shipments, Emerald Performance Materials turned to ChemLogix LLC to provide both a transportation management solution and extensive chemicals expertise to optimize logistics operations at its eight independently operated production facilities.
"Emerald is a diversified manufacturer, with products shipped using all modes of transit across North America and overseas. We chose ChemLogix because of their flexible engagement model, their chemical industry expertise, and their focus on cost reductions," notes Marty Lembach, Manager of Logistics for Emerald Performance Materials. With more than 50% of its business concentrated in bulk shipments, Emerald needed a 3PL that could not only negotiate the most cost-effective carrier contracts but also address a wide array of handling needs associated with its broad product portfolio, including regulated and non-regulated materials and food-grade products.
Emerald's goal to be a best-in-class vendor required world-class technology to support its logistics operations processes. Combining chemicals logistics expertise with the advanced optimization technology available through the Sterling Transportation Management System, ChemLogix offered a complete on-demand TMS solution that will support Emerald Performance Materials' logistics operations in several key areas: freight procurement, order management, carrier management, routing guide compliance, service performance visibility, as well as freight audit and payment. "We intend to continuously drive value to Emerald through automating execution processes and creating shipment cost and service visibility with our solution," states Ed Hildebrandt, ChemLogix Senior Vice President, Operations.
