Best Practices of Top-Tier Plastic Polymers Suppliers
In a world with endless options, an “above-and-beyond” approach to the customer experience is what will set companies apart in the future. To stay ahead of the curve, top-tier industrial polymers suppliers like Shell Polymers are building customer service teams who create outstanding buyer relationships, logistical processes that streamline business, and the technical infrastructure to support supply chain transparency and reliability.
Delivering Dedicated Support
It’s tough to get the best customer service when calls are fielded by multiple representatives from around the world. Instead, we believe customers deserve individualized support and proactive communications from a dedicated account manager and customer relationship coordinators who know you and your business.
At Shell Polymers, we foster personal relationships and give customers an inside look at our operations to prevent business objectives from being derailed by surprise issues. It’s our mission to hire team members who are tuned in to every facet of the business, so we can serve our customers quickly and efficiently.
Implementing IT Tools in Logistics
In a high-tech industry like PE manufacturing, technology and humans should work together to offer customers a seamless experience. That’s why polymer suppliers need to give customers peace of mind with best-in-class logistics tools, equipment, and proactive communication processes that notify them before an issue comes up.
To build a logistics operation that’s on par with the best in the industry, the new Shell Polymers polyethylene plant will feature the latest, high-quality technology. For example, smart rail and truck shipment monitoring will minimize transportation delays; and automated inventory tracking will create more transparency for rapid decision-making. We’re also improving tracking potential by implementing automated scheduling and loading to minimize human error.

All of these methods are ways to incorporate always-on tools and support that create a seamless logistics experience.
