In the chemical industry, every detail matters. Today’s insights can catalyze tomorrow’s breakthroughs, and planning for the future means guiding projects through years of painstaking research and development. Ensuring precise, productive activity over long timelines is challenging given specific factors impacting this dynamic industry:
- Remote teams: Globally distributed teams need to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across multiple regions, time zones, and disciplines
- Complex workflows: Key processes need to be rigorously managed and monitored to ensure quality, accuracy, and currency
- Airtight security: Access management and activity tracking are essential, as proprietary data and patented processes drive productivity, profits, and competitive advantage
- Information gaps: Competitor and customer operational details are rarely shared, making forecasting and inventory management difficult or impossible.


Visiv understands these challenges—and we embrace this complexity. Our powerful platform provides:
- A foundation for business-specific applications tailored to your exact needs—today and in the future
- A stable, secure, highly configurable way to leverage technology to optimize key business processes
- A dependable source of valuable insights to enable more confident, data-driven decisions to grow your market share, margins, and revenue
CAPABILITIES
Addressing Key Industry Challenges
Development and production of chemical products is often complicated, difficult, and prolonged. Businesses need to support and coordinate the activities of scientists in multiple disciplines, engineers and production personnel, and sales and financial professionals across numerous locations and markets.
R&D alone can take years, and bringing an offering to market might require a decade or more. Managing this in an environment where molecular-level precision can mean the difference between success and failure greatly raises the stakes. Visiv provides an integrated, user-friendly solution to help connect, monitor, and optimize key teams and processes enterprise-wide, while providing leadership visibility and expediting results.

For commodity chemicals, any gain in efficiency or value-add opportunity can provide a vital competitive edge. With more specialized products, proprietary formulations and patented processes are the most valuable, closely guarded assets a company can possess. Protecting this intellectual capital is essential, but leveraging it profitably requires access by multiple teams and location. Leadership needs to prevent unauthorized use and monitor activity for performance and accountability.
Visiv understands that security is a top priority, and our solutions are built on category-leading Microsoft infrastructure with robust encryption and data protection. With a minimal technology footprint, precise access and permission management, and detailed tracking and control of any activity, Visiv delivers peace of mind for both IT and company leaders.

In an industry characterized by secrecy, additional knowledge or understanding can dramatically impact outcomes. This is especially true since years of costly R&D can lead to dead ends or underwhelming results, conclude too late for first-to-market advantage, or fail to keep up with changing customer needs.
Visiv doesn’t let you see the future, but it delivers powerful predictive capabilities that can yield nearly the same benefits. With full visibility into all information and activity in your organization, you can tap into the power of advanced analytics to guide decisions and anticipate outcomes. Still more transformative, Visiv can surface new insights, answer key questions, and identify and quantify crucial opportunities that were never possible before—offering a significant bottom-line impact and enduring competitive advantage.

Long development cycles and large R&D budgets make resource allocation important to maximize profit and sustain operations. These internal challenges are exacerbated by long sales cycles and unpredictable market dynamics, driven by aggressive competitor activity, a mix of commodity and proprietary products, and a lack of transparency among customers and partners.
In this environment of high stakes and limited visibility, Visiv helps chemical businesses make more informed, confident decisions based on detailed data and relevant insights. This can include assessing potential project outcomes and prioritizing products in development, as well as calculating (and optimizing) potential revenue and margins. Visiv can help you understand customer activity and inventory, identify upsell opportunities, anticipate future needs, and proactively adapt to market conditions while staying a step ahead of competitors.

Plant Capacity Planning
For suppliers of products to the chemical manufacturing industry, predicting client plant capacity, as well as the ability of a specific plant to trial or use various products, is a critical part of sales forecasting. Applications that focus on “standard” sales processes or CRM tracking will have limited utility in this specific industry use case. It is essential to incorporate detailed product and scientific information, as well as providing easily customizable workflows and reporting.
Visiv has applications that enable suppliers to create a global database of chemical plants, capture on-the-ground SME information, and track and forecast capacity accurately, all tailored to their own unique products and processes. Customizable product lists allow companies to track which items are in use in a customer's plant and quickly identify any gaps in capacity that could indicate an opportunity for new product trials or sales.

Trial Management
For many chemical industry suppliers, trialing products in client plants is a critical part of the development process and a reliable way to confirm the value of new intellectual property or patents. This can also help increase sales and contribute to strong customer relationships and long-term retention. By tracking trials through the complete lifecycle of a project and measuring client adoption and key performance indictors ( KPIs) suppliers can grow sales and revenue while tracking POC value.
Chemical services and supplier companies have used Visiv applications to track trials and their outcomes on a global scale. This resulted in increased sales awareness and provided valuable insights and intelligence to make sales propositions more effective. Companies can also integrate sales process scout information through to trial performance, track budget forecasting, and create executive dashboards to support product development go/no go decisions.
