Your Sector
The chemicals sector brings countless complexities, whether you operate in one country or many. There are crucial health and safety legislation to comply with, complicated supply chain processes and distribution to manage, and vital timeframes to adhere to. Our expertise, coupled with our technology, is here to help you navigate these complexities, supporting your business as it operates daily and scales over time.
“For the chemical industry, some of the biggest challenges we see today are around traceability and compliance. We also see a lack of integration between systems that manage these processes and the systems that manage them.” James Peel, Head of SAP Practice, Thinc
Simplifying your company’s processes is incredibly important to your logistics. We often see businesses in the chemical industry come to us with multiple systems running across multiple divisions – and bringing these all together can be daunting – but that’s what we’re here for. We’ll support you with complete integration, consolidating all of your systems and data into one single place.
This was the case for the team at Alfa Chemicals. With multiple spreadsheets and multiple systems across multiple sites, a much clearer, more consistent picture of their entire business was needed. Our services have helped Alfa reduce the number of manual workarounds, such as customs compliance, VAT returns and order progress and analysis.
“When choosing new technologies, you can be blinded by what a system can do and lose sight of what it is you need it to do. With Thinc, we never felt that we were being sold to – they were honest about what was possible and always tried to understand what our need was.”
David Dunsmoir
Business Analyst and Regulatory Compliance Manager, Alfa Chemicals
We know that companies of your size will face significant cost pressures in this sector. As prices for raw materials fluctuate, saving costs where you can is so important – and monitoring cashflow must be as painless as possible. We can help you to gain a much clearer picture of your costs through key integrations across the entire business and supply chain.
Benefit from real-time financial reporting and forecasting, allowing for much better cost control, resource planning and decision-making.
The chemicals sector is heavily regulated, with tight environmental and health and safety standards. Compliance is vital for businesses operating in this space. With such strict standards, it’s vital that all is done to eliminate room for human error and improve accuracy of all stages of the supply chain.
With the right software and systems in place, you can have true peace of mind, knowing that automation replaces the potential for human error.
With our systems and expertise, you’ll have the functionality and knowledge to comply with regulations such as Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulations.
Poor production and stock management in the chemicals sector can lead to discrepancies, delays, overtime and inventory costs, leaving you prone to errors that are costly and possibly dangerous. We can help by providing systems that streamline your warehouse and distribution processes – helps take the headaches out of orders and scheduling.
You’ll be able to automate routine tasks and integrate data across all departments, track the movement of goods where and when across multiple locations, and improve collaboration across departments so that everyone’s working with the same information.
As your business grows, your operational needs evolve. Stock will increase, timescales will become tighter and the risk for human error will also increase. Our software and expertise give you that scalability, supporting business expansion without requiring a complete overhaul of any system.
Our customers in the chemical industry benefit from the flexibility we offer, as we’re able to adapt to their new business models, increased market demands and geographical expansion.
Over time, we’ve built up strong relationships within the chemical sector. We’re a frequent exhibitor at CHEMUK, the UK’s largest trade show for the development and manufacturing of chemical products.
We’ve also formed relationships with several chemical associations, presenting to their forums with value-added content, providing insight into hot topics within the sector. We’ve covered topics ranging from traceability to carbon emission reporting, providing our expertise to the sector where best appropriate.
At Thinc, we’ve got extensive experience helping non-profits across a range of sectors to work more efficiently and make the most of the limited resources and funds they’ve got.

We also take pride in working closely with you to form a real partnership, so we’ll be there with the support and strategic guidance you need – which is why we’ve won numerous awards for customer service and our clients stick with us at a 99% rate year-on-year.
