A Leading Manufacturer’s Journey to Network-Driven Supply Chain Execution

This case study traces a multinational materials science company’s multi-year digital supply chain transformation, with Elemica as a core technology partner since the early 2000s. Starting with automated procurement and EDI migration — which cut processing errors by 75% — the company progressively expanded its use of Elemica across sales order management, vendor-managed invoicing, logistics visibility, and e-invoicing.

A central milestone was the company’s Digital Commerce initiative, which targeted 50% of revenue through digital channels by end of 2024 — a goal it hit by Q3 2024, enabled in large part by Elemica’s EDI and API infrastructure. With over 3,000 trading partners now connected through the platform, the case study outlines how network-driven supply chain execution supports scalability, partner onboarding, and operational resilience.

The document also covers planned capabilities including distributed order management, S&OE integration, data-centric analytics, and sustainability initiatives.
