Astro Chemicals extends partnership with Agilis Commerce

Digital Marketing Expert

Astro Chemicals, a premier chemical distributor in the Northeastern U.S., has been an Agilis customer for the past three years and using its cloud-based technology platform to acquire and service new customers. Astro has now decided to start digitizing their current business by taking a specialty product line online. Astro, a third-generation family business that prides itself on superior customer service, has selected Agilis, a provider of digital commerce solutions purpose-built for the chemical industry, to give customers an easy and seamless buying experience and reach new markets for their products.

 “We have considered building or buying a digital commerce solution before, but we simply didn’t know how to go about it,” says Adam Diamond, Partner and Sales Representative with Astro Chemicals. “But after talking to the Agilis team, we decided that we could do it. The Agilis platform is very easy to use and navigate. It’s very intuitive for customers to search for products and place orders online and for our administrators to upload product information and update prices and terms.”

Astro Chemicals approached the rollout gradually, making sure that both their teams and customers were comfortable with the new online system. “The adoption went very smoothly,” continues Diamond. “More and more customers are asking to be onboarded, and it’s been a very successful and positive experience.” Diamond also credits the Agilis team with supporting his team through the implementation, helping them discover product features, and being responsive to product feedback and suggestions.

 The new portal helped Astro Chemicals consolidate product information that was scattered across multiple web pages and gave their customers a better, more streamlined buying experience. The Astro Chemicals team now conducts end-to-end product transactions on the portal and uses a full array of integrated marketing and analytics tools to help reach new audiences and improve existing workflows. Recently, the team also included their RELEASE adhesive removal agent in the portal. Astro continues adding customers to the platform and scaling it up to meet the growing demand for their products. The digital portal is available at https://portal.astrochemicals.com/
