The newly redesigned website makes it easier for companies to transparently shop, compare and purchase hundreds of thousands of chemicals sold directly from manufacturers in just a few clicks. By purchasing directly from ChemDirect manufacturers, U.S.-based buyers experience an average fulfillment time of 3½ days and up to 80% in cost savings. ChemDirect offers B2B functionality with a B2C experience that’s easy for technical and non-technical users to navigate, empowering companies of all sizes to streamline their procurement process from research to purchasing decision.

“Traditional chemical procurement was long overdue for reinvention, and ChemDirect is committed to driving this change,” said Tyler Ellison, ChemDirect’s founder and CEO. “Our new website offers buyers one-stop shopping with transparent access to hundreds of thousands of chemicals shipped directly from vetted manufacturers, enabling faster delivery speeds and significant savings. On the sell-side, we’re providing a digital sales and marketing solution with real-time market analytics, allowing suppliers to boost sales, expand markets and build their brand presence.”

ChemDirect 2.0 features a variety of enhancements impacting three key areas of e-commerce — the purchasing experience, account management and supplier storefronts.

Procurement Reimagined

The new website features intuitive filters and e-commerce functionality to help buyers find products and check out more quickly. Packed with mobile capabilities, ChemDirect 2.0 helps customers purchase chemicals with greater ease and cross-platform functionality — creating a seamless user experience across devices. Visitors can also use the website’s new comparability feature to ensure transparent shopping.

Maximized Account Management, Real-Time Insight

ChemDirect 2.0 uses intuitive and familiar design standards to maximize usability and convey complex data in an easy-to-understand interface. The enhanced, unified purchasing experience enables buyers to view and share saved product lists, reorder past products and purchase saved ones quickly and easily, complete with real-time status updates.

Suppliers’ Digital Potential Unlocked

ChemDirect provides suppliers with a digital strategy that enables them to focus on what they do best, producing quality products. Allowing access to tens of thousands of new buyers and real-time market analytics, ChemDirect helps improve suppliers’ online and offline businesses.

Suppliers are given a digital storefront, at no cost, allowing buyers to shop directly and gain immediate access to marketing materials, accreditation certificates and frequently asked product questions.

The new ChemDirect website was created in partnership with McFadyen Digital, a leading marketplace strategy and implementation agency.
