Tufail Chemical Industries and Maersk Pakistan have signed an agreement under which Maersk will provide the company with Maersk Flow, a digital tool to streamline and manage the company’s supply chains efficiently from factory to market.
Tufail Chemical Industries is one of the main chemical manufacturers in Pakistan conducting business with tech and appliance industries. It has been importing plastic raw material, industrial chemicals, aluminium products, and polymer for their manufacturing processes. The company has also built additional manufacturing capacity and is not only satisfying local requirements but also expanding into global market with export footprint.
Pervez Tufail, Co-Chairman, Tufail Chemical Industries, commented: “Expansion of our business has led to increased complexity in our supply chains. Challenges such as lack of visibility on inbound shipments, milestones updates, documentation status and communication with our suppliers became more prominent, and ultimately started impacting our day-to-day routines. Maersk Pakistan, our ocean transportation partner, stepped in to offer a pilot run of ‘Maersk Flow’, a digital supply chain management tool to streamline supply chains processes.”
Saira Yasin, Director Exports, Tufail Chemical Industries added, “With Maersk Flow our team is able to plan our operations accurately, avoiding excess inventory at the warehouse and we are now able to shift our end products rapidly to the market.”
Wajeeh Ud Din Ahmed, Chief Commercial Officer, Maersk Pakistan, added: “Complex supply chains have traditionally been managed manually via spreadsheets, emails and phone calls. With Maersk Flow we have allowed Tufail Chemical Industries to take control of their supply chain management and ensure that the flow of goods and documents is executed as planned.”
