Improving Customer Experiences With Advanced Technology

Robust Notification System
Our technology solutions will be specifically designed to streamline behind-the-scenes operational processes, so company experts are more efficient and can focus their energy on our customers. These tools will also include a robust notification system to keep converters in the know proactively, so last-minute surprises can be reduced.

Proprietary Digital Hub
At Shell Polymers, introducing new tools and processes, such as our proprietary digital customer hub, is just one way we’re planning to deliver an unrivaled customer experience. Pairing our team of passionate industry experts with advanced technology like this will help converters prevent supply chain disruptions and cut down on costly delays.

Predictive Maintenance Program
The plant’s predictive maintenance program will combine embedded sensors, analytic models, and artificial intelligence to help avert trips and failures in critical equipment. The AI algorithms will learn to identify when issues are developing so we can proactively address them, helping to create a more reliable and uninterrupted supply chain experience.

Truck & Rail Tracking
We are also piloting truck and rail tracking technology. This will ultimately be paired with AI to automate solutions that address logistical challenges so customers will know where their product is at any time.

Automated Inventory Tracking
In our research, customers told us they want quick access to information such as the location of their railcar. Because of this feedback, we’ve implemented an automated on-and-off-site inventory tracking system.
