ChemLogix LLC is partnering with the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) to provide its members with transportation and logistics services that can reduce costs and improve control of domestic and international shipping operations.

Offering logistics management technology and resources through its “Load Center,” ChemLogix can help small and medium-size chemical shippers reduce freight costs by taking advantage of the same competitive pricing that larger shippers receive for freight movement. By tapping into its freight database, ChemLogix can secure best-in-class freight agreements based on each shipper's specific lane, equipment, and delivery requirements. Freight services extend to LTL, TL, bulk, intermodal, and international hazardous and non-hazardous liquid and dry materials freight movement.

Once joining the program, participating SOCMA members give ChemLogix negotiating power to create a customized freight tariff for their outbound, inbound, and international shipments. The ChemLogix Load Center will coordinate and tender loads between the shipper and carriers, provide status updates on shipments and alerts to potential customer service issues, and supply periodic reports on cost and service performance. ChemLogix will also manage the freight bill audit and payment process. Freight claims management is also provided should situations require investigation and arbitration on behalf of the shipper.
