Chemical
Managing chemical supply chains is a dangerous business. Maintaining consistent, on-time deliveries is synonymous with how well an enterprise’s customer satisfaction scores are.
Order up
The industry itself is heavily regulated by laws and Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) lists designed to promote standardized measures and proper conduct throughout the shipping and handling process.
For D365 users, managing a successful supply chain means:
-
Embed compliance, documentation, carrier selection, and execution directly into D365 workflows.
-
Validate hazardous materials, classifications, and shipping requirements before shipments are released.
-
Screening customers, vendors, and shipments against regulatory and restricted-party requirements early in the process.
-
Ensure approved carriers, services, labels, and shipping documents are used for every shipment.

CHALLENGES
Complex Hazardous Materials Compliance
Managing hazardous materials classifications, documentation, labeling, and carrier requirements is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Regulatory Risk & Delayed Screening
Compliance checks come too late in the shipping process, increasing the risk of shipment holds, fines, and regulatory violations.
Carrier & Documentation Control
Ensuring approved carriers, services, labels, and shipping documents are used consistently across all shipments can be difficult to manage.
Cross-Border Shipping Complexity
Managing export controls, customs documentation, and international shipping regulations adds significant operational burden and risk.
Nexus enhances chemical supply chain operations by embedding hazardous materials validation, regulatory screening, carrier compliance, transportation management, and freight cost controls directly within D365, reducing shipping risks, streamlining compliant shipping execution, improving visibility, and maintaining greater control over chemical shipments from order creation through delivery.

PARCEL & LTL SHIPPING REIMAGINED
Global supply chains are under mounting pressure to deliver faster, leaner, and more transparent operations. While Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management serves as a powerful foundation for managing end-to-end processes, its standard capabilities often fall short for complex shipping needs.
To bridge these gaps, retail-driven supply chain operators are increasingly turning towards specialized ISV solutions that integrate seamlessly with D365, extending its basic functionality with advanced features like carrier optimization, workflow automation, and freight cost management. The result is a more agile, configurable shipping environment that’s built to last.
