SAP Quality Assurance UI5 Apps for Chemtrade Logistics

Client Overview

Chemtrade Logistics is a North American leader in industrial chemical supply and services, managing high-volume products like sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) across a complex logistics network. With a focus on safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency, Chemtrade turned to SAP to streamline its chemical bin tracking and lifecycle management process.

The Challenge

Chemtrade’s supply chain operations involved thousands of chemical bins rotating through various stages: supply, cleaning, and reuse. The key challenges included:

  • Poor visibility into bin location and status
  • Manual tracking prone to errors and delays
  • Difficulty ensuring timely cleaning and reuse
  • Regulatory pressure on accurate container handling and documentation

The existing system lacked a unified platform to track, manage, and optimize bin movement and readiness in real time.

MSITEK’s Solution

To transform Chemtrade’s bin management, MSITEK developed a suite of custom SAP UI5 applications. These apps streamlined operations through real-time tracking, smart dashboards, and workflow automation, seamlessly integrated into the existing SAP backend.
