The Chemical Industry Has Specific Requirements that Require Tailored Solutions

The chemical industry is in the midst of digitalization. The task at hand is to automate, connect, and design raw material sourcing, materials processing, and production in a sustainable and circular way. But this is far from straightforward: complex production workflows, high quality standards, increasingly strict environmental regulations, and fluctuating raw material prices on one side. On the other, chemical companies are grappling with large volumes of data that can barely be captured and evaluated manually.

The solution: a smart factory in which processes – such as batch traceability and residual quantity management – run automatically and data-driven within the ERP system, and in which inventory management and hazardous materials handling are seamlessly integrated. For their complex business operations, mid-sized chemical companies need the right digital solutions that can also be deployed internationally. PART knows the industry-specific requirements and delivers tailored SAP solutions that do not exceed their value in effort and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About ERP Implementation in the Chemical Industry

What specific requirements does the chemical industry place on an ERP system?

The chemical industry has some of the most demanding ERP requirements of any sector: hazardous materials management in accordance with GHS/CLP, seamless batch traceability, residual quantity and container management, complex recipes with yields and by-products, and stringent quality and environmental documentation obligations. Add to this fluctuating raw material prices, which require close coordination between procurement, production, and controlling. PART has mapped these requirements directly in its SAP industry solutions for mid-sized chemical companies.

How does an ERP system handle hazardous materials management?

An industry-specific ERP for the chemical industry links article master data management directly with hazardous materials information: safety data sheets, GHS classifications, and storage and transport regulations. The system automatically controls which quantities may be stored where, and triggers warnings when threshold values are exceeded. At the same time, all relevant documentation obligations – such as those for REACH or CLP – are supported within the system, minimizing manual errors.

How does batch traceability work in a chemical company?

In chemical production, batch traceability is particularly complex because the same raw material is used across different production lines and finished products frequently consist of multiple intermediate products. A modern ERP maps this manufacturing tree in full – from raw material receipt through all intermediate products to the filled finished goods. In the event of a recall or quality issue, it is possible within minutes to determine which batches and customers are affected. PART solutions also handle multi-level batch constellations involving residual quantities and transfers.

Cloud ERP or on-premise – what is advisable for chemical companies?

Both approaches are in use in the chemical industry. SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud is suited to companies that want to use standard processes, do not wish to operate their own server infrastructure, and want to benefit from continuous SAP updates. SAP Business One with C.One is the proven choice for operations with very specific process requirements, existing system integrations, or strong in-house IT responsibility. PART advises independently of any vendor and helps you make the right decision for your company.

What should chemical companies look for when selecting an SAP partner?

The SAP partner should bring demonstrable experience with chemistry-specific requirements – not just with SAP as a platform. Relevant criteria are: reference projects in the process industry, knowledge of industry-specific regulations (REACH, CLP, GHS), a proprietary industry template, and a realistic assessment of project effort and costs. PART has been active exclusively in the process industry for over 30 years and has developed its own industry standard for chemical, cosmetics, and food & beverage companies.
