Press Release
TER Chemicals Distribution Group, a prominent distributor of specialty chemicals with 23 subsidiaries worldwide, has announced the adoption of ionicPIM as its new global Product Information Management system for all entities. This innovative system, developed jointly by SpecialChem and Agilis, marks the first chemical-specific PIM in the industry. It is tailored to assist chemical suppliers in efficiently managing their comprehensive product data, documentation, and knowledge. By aggregating and structuring information into the company’s Product Master Data, ionicPIM facilitates controlled distribution across all pertinent teams, digital channels, and systems.
With the integration of ionicPIM, the TER Chemicals aims to enhance the online customer experience on its digital platforms, enabling users to independently explore product offerings. Internally, it will empower the sales team to quickly offer more targeted solutions to customers with only a single source of product information.
"The implementation of ionicPIM is an important milestone in our ambitious digitalization journey." stated Andreas Früh, CEO at TER Chemicals. "Our decision to invest in an innovative PIM solution comes from our commitment to delivering accurate, consistent, and compelling product information across all channels. With ionicPIM, we are able to provide a digital 360° view on our products and optimize our employee and customer experience."
Christophe Cabarry, CEO of SpecialChem, expressed his satisfaction with this partnership, stating, "We are very proud to have TER Chemicals as one of the early adopters of ionicPIM. This confirms the strength and relevance of our solution, particularly for chemical distributors faced with increasingly complex product demands.”
