Future-proofing the process industry.

The process industry today faces a range of complex challenges, including supply chain disruptions, stringent regulations, technological advancements, environmental pressures, and the constant demand to maintain high product quality. Digital transformation plays a critical role in addressing these issues by enhancing operational efficiency, enabling smarter decision-making, and supporting sustainability goals. At the same time, it helps reduce costs and improve customer experience. In an increasingly dynamic and competitive market, adopting digital tools is no longer optional – it’s essential for building resilience and securing long-term success.

Westernacher offers digital transformation strategies tailored to optimize the entire value chain:

Customer Success Story_____________

INEOS Styrolution better equipped to meet global supply with integrated planning.

INEOS Styrolution wanted to overhaul its planning systems. The company’s supply and demand planning processes were not fit to meet the demands of a leading global styrenics supplier and needed to be reconfigured. Westernacher came on board to implement an integrated planning system with the SAP IBP platform. Notable results have been achieved such as a significant reduction in time needed for data collection by sales representatives and much improved forecast accuracy.
