Alliance Offers Chemical Industry Optimization

BLUE BELL, Pa.—Joining in a strategic alliance, ChemLogix and Automated Decisions (ADC), the two are offering a supply chain network optimization service tailored to the needs of the chemical industry by providing insights that can lead to higher profits and cash flows.

The offering is described as, “applying a combination of ChemLogix’ expertise in category management and in-depth chemical industry knowledge together with the extensive expertise of ADC in optimization.”

The service is geared toward optimizing cash, which includes higher working capital costs and constrained availability of cash from both operations and financing.
