Agilis, a pioneer in digital customer engagement solutions for the chemical industry, and Elemica, the leading digital supply chain and execution network for process industries, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver the chemical industry’s first integrated solution that unites digital buyer engagement with network-enabled order execution.
The Agilis + Elemica joint solution combines digital commerce and network-enabled execution to digitize the chemical buyer journey from product discovery through delivery. Built by chemical industry experts, it uniquely integrates Agilis’ ionicPIM -powered customer engagement channels with the Elemica Network and iFlow Platform, reducing cost-to-serve, accelerating growth, and creating an AI-ready foundation for future planning and decision intelligence.
“Agilis was founded to modernize how chemical companies engage with their customers online,” said Jay Bhatia, CEO of Agilis. “By uniting our expertise in product data digitization, digital customer experience, and commerce with Elemica’s global multi-enterprise execution network, we are delivering the industry’s first end-to-end solution—fast to implement, easy to scale, and purpose-built by chemical experts for chemical companies.”
“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.
Agilis + Elemica solves this by offering a single solution that:
- Provides branded digital portals and catalogs for seamless product discovery and ordering (Agilis).
- Orchestrates execution of every order, shipment, proof of delivery, and invoice (Elemica).
- Delivers 3–6 month pilot deployments with measurable ROI, compared to 18–36 months for DIY approaches.
- Scales quickly by leveraging Elemica’s global network of tens of thousands of industry-tuned suppliers, customers, and logistics providers.
- Provides an AI-ready data foundation by combining iconicPIM’s product data standardization with Elemica’s harmonized execution data
- Insulates ERP complexity, supports API-first integration, leverages SAP-certified connectivity, and ensures scalability across new products, partners, and regions.
Availability
The Agilis + Elemica joint solution is available immediately for chemical manufacturers and distributors seeking to digitize customer engagement and orchestrate order execution at scale.
