- All relevant information available electronically in one place
- Online offerings will be extended after successful test phase
- Additional functions such as current market developments and a shared document repository as well as “Track & Trace” are being developed
The digital platform named C4Connect®, which was introduced a year ago, has been very well received. Consequently, Evonik is expanding its digital services in the C4-based Performance Intermediates (PI) business line. The latest member of the digital offerings, C4Business®, serves as a new collaboration and communication opportunity. After a test phase lasting several months with three pilot customers, the new module will now be available to other customers.
“C4Business®” brings together all the information from the joint business in the form of customer dashboards and shared forecast tools, on a single platform. With a 24/7 accessibility. The Performance Intermediates business line is currently working on additional functions. In the future, current market developments and a shared document repository will also be available for customers. The business line also wants to integrate the “Track & Trace” option in the future.
“Inspired by the motto ‘Chemistry4People®’, we have set ourselves the goal of creating digital touchpoints together with our customers that offer added value in day-to-day business. Our customer-focused digitization strategy will enable us, in the future, to position and differentiate ourselves even more intensively in the market,” says Christian Bierhaus, Senior Vice President Marketing & Sales at Performance Intermediates.
The digital customer portal C4Connect® offers our customers further advantages, in addition to those offered in the classic business relationship, such as customer visits, telephone calls and e-mails:
- Simple handling of many offers in just one portal: bidding function (C4Buy®), DRIVOSOL® tuner, order management (C4Orders®) etc.
- More transparency in cooperation
- Additional exchange of information and business opportunities
- Individual customer support
- 24/7 availability
The new “C4Business®” module will be presented at a customer event taking place at the EPCA (European Petrochemical Association), one of the most important conferences of the petrochemical industry, in Berlin in October.
