Aids Planning and Supply Chain Reliability, Case Study LANXESS

Producing and transporting chemicals through the supply chain safely and efficiently can be complex, especially when moving hazardous cargo. Chemical logistics requires detailed security plans, specialized equipment, a network of qualified, reliable suppliers and full supply chain visibility.

Adding a layer of complexity is limited and tight inventory, therefore supplying materials from the manufacturer to the customer on time requires dedicated know-how and an array of real-time data.

Through its Managed Logistics Services unit, Odyssey Logistics & Technology manages inbound and outbound logistics across North America for LANXESS, including truck and rail, transportation procurement, establishing rates, freight tendering and freight payment processing. LANXESS develops, manufactures and markets chemical intermediaries, additives, specialty chemicals and plastics.
