Elemica
An eBusiness
Solution for Large-Volume Customers
Every Bayer MaterialScience
(formerly Bayer Polymers) customer has different methods
for ordering. But one thing remains the same – all
customers want their ordering to be easy and efficient.
One way for Bayer’s
large-volume customers to achieve this is through Elemica,
a global marketplace designed to make it easier for large-volume
buyers and sellers of chemical and polymer products to connect
with one another and exchange their transactions quickly
and efficiently via eBusiness.
Elemica acts
as the electronic hub between suppliers and their customers.
Its staff handles the tough task of making different ordering
systems able to communicate with one another electronically.
For example, Elemica has connected the ordering system of
Bayer MaterialScience with many of our largest customers,
even though the ordering systems used by those customers
may be vastly different from Bayer’s. These customers
now use their existing IT systems to electronically transmit
their orders to Bayer through Elemica, no matter how simple
or complex their system or order process may be.
Elemica can reduce
your IT costs to build and maintain costly point-to-point
EDI or XML connections. Connecting once to Elemica can provide
you the opportunity to connect to all of your suppliers
and customers.
For Bayer customers
with frequent and large order volumes, or those that purchase
from multiple chemical industry suppliers, an Elemica connection
is an important option to explore. Electronic ordering through
Elemica can eliminate time-consuming telephone calls, faxes,
requests for order confirmations and other burdens on your
purchasing staff.
Once freed from these low-value purchasing tasks, your staff
can have more time to focus on strategic procurement initiatives
with Bayer and other suppliers. Additional benefits of using
Elemica to conduct eBusiness with Bayer include:
- Reduced ordering errors
- Increased ordering productivity
- Reduced transaction costs
There are different
types of Elemica connections available to meet your company’s
specific needs. Bayer’s eBusiness experts can explain
these options and tailor a proposal to your company’s
specific needs. For more information on how ordering through
Elemica can save you time and money, contact your Bayer
sales or customer service representative.
