Most manufacturers have the same process for ordering their raw materials: look at the Bill of Materials, see what needs ordering, then send a Purchase Order to the most recent supplier - at the last price! For some products, you might send out a few emails to suppliers, and be lucky to get a response.
This approach can be very time consuming and result in paying too much for your raw materials.
Sourcing Raw Materials on ChemCloud makes this process easier, faster and less costly.
