Integrated, Not Fragmented: Rethinking Digital Process Landscapes Using the Example of Chemical Logistics

A TMS from provider A, a WMS from B, and an ERP from C — this is the reality for many companies whose competitiveness depends on strong supply chain processes. With the rise of powerful AI solutions, complexity continues to grow: integration becomes a major hurdle, while operation and maintenance turn into massive challenges amid rising costs and fragile stability.
In the latest CHEManager article, we show how modern SaaS platforms can create integrated process landscapes across production, warehousing, transport, and administration. The result: technological future-readiness, high cost-efficiency, and manageable complexity — for large corporations and mid-sized companies alike.
