For Alae-Eddine Makrom, Global Supply Chain Project Leader at Arkema, managing rail logistics felt like navigating in the dark; facing a recurring set of headaches: wagons stuck, added costs, weak and slow collaboration …and no clear picture of what was going on.
The problem: Too Much Guessing and Teams Kept in the Dark
Before Everysens, Arkema’s rail logistics had three different challenges:
- No real time visibility→ Impossible to detect bottlenecks in production sites or predict availability.
- High Immobilization Time→ Added costs, disrupted planning and underused assets.
- Slowed down Collaboration → Data was scattered across departments with manual processes
Result?
The planning felt more like reacting. Costs were creeping up, wagons were getting lost, communication was strained: there was no way to see issues coming before they hit you like a…train.
The solution: One collaborative digital platform for all rail operations
Everysens provided Arkema with a platform to centralize data and automate processes: offering clear and measurable improvements on all aspects.
With Everysens, Arkema can now:
- Track wagon rotation cycles in real time
- Anticipate wagon availability, rather than waiting and reacting
- Optimize fleet size based on actual wagon usage
- Enable stronger collaboration across teams and partners
The shift has been transformative for the logistics processes and for the teams behind it. For Alae-Eddine, one of the most impactful changes wasn’t just in cost savings; it was about how Everysens enabled their teams to align around shared data and collaborate more efficiently.
“The impact is positive. The platform has really transformed the way we collaborate. Instead of working in silos, today teams are sharing the same level of real-time data… whether in production sites or across different business units.”
