Our Supplier client is a popular importer and distributor of industrial chemicals in India, and is primarily engaged in stocking, indenting, and distribution of a wide range of chemicals. The company is one of the largest suppliers of specialty chemicals for various industries, such as polyurethane, petrochemicals, paints and coatings, personal care, construction, etc.
Our client has a distribution agreement with 10 global corporations to supply an assortment of products that would be further reconditioned at the plant before it is supplied to its clients.

Tracking of invoices on Clearfin platform helps the supplier make future strategies based on amounts expected with due dates as approved with its respective Buyers.
