The underlying principle of Solvay’s e-Business approach is close collaboration with our internal and external customers. We want to create win-win-situations in which our business relationships are easier, faster and better managed through our e Solutions.
  
By applying e-Business solutions SOLVAY is adding new Business Channels to our traditional customer channel portfolio.

•  Elemica™Network - ERP-integration with business partners

Elemica is a neutral, global Network for contractual buying and selling of chemicals.

• Transwide™

Transwide has developed a suite of technology solutions to connect shippers and logistics providers to enable the electronic communication and visibility of transport orders, transport documents, tracking, and signatures.

• CC-Hubwoo™

Connecting buyers and suppliers of different industries, CC-Hubwoo guides the development of cross-industry standards and collaborates with companies in implementing e-procurement strategies, resulting in procurement process automation and transactional costs reduction.

• e-Billing

The e-billing solution allows to validly send the invoice to the customers by e-mail.
Every e-bill is accompanied by an advanced electronic signature that is compliant with the provisions of the European Directive 2001/115/EC. It therefore meets the requirements of European Member States legislation which already transposed such directive.
This allows to guarantee the authenticity of the invoice’s origin and the integrity of its contents. It has the same value as the handwritten signature of a physical person, which ensures its validity.

The solution is based on a software licensed from  AuthentiDate AG, enabling the authentification process through advanced electronic signature.

•  ESOLION

Esolion is the new and innovative online sales channel from Solvay Chemicals International, which allows experienced marketers to purchase essential chemicals under well defined rules and at attractive prices.

• SOLVAY Extranet – Online ordering and tracking for our customers
