Efficiently source chemical raw materials

Confidently develop sourcing strategies and quantify suppliers cost positions.

In today’s environment of global oil market volatility and emerging market economic deceleration, understanding feedstock dynamics is critical to procurement excellence. On the one hand, you need to identify and locate cost-competitive raw materials as well as suppliers who will support your expansion and investment decisions. On the other, you must predict how future market changes will condition your ability to do so at the best price. To gain a competitive edge, you must be able to benchmark your suppliers costs against those of your competitors.
