Business in solution.
The business platform built for chemical trading.
The eluent is the mobile phase of chromatography: it carries the sample through the column and turns a mixture into a clean result. That is exactly what we expect from business software — it should keep the business moving, from the first contact to the paid order.
Chemical trading is not a stack of modules — it is a flow: an inquiry is qualified, a sample shipped, a quote calculated, an order sourced, delivered, invoiced and settled. eluent. models that flow instead of scattering it across separate lists — and whatever needs attention right now shows up as a peak on the curve.
Nine stations, one flow: inquiry · qualification · sample · quote · order · sourcing · shipment · invoice · settlement.
Instead of a jungle of modules, eluent. organises everything around four simple questions — and every view draws on all four.
Inquiries, samples, orders, shipments — every transaction in motion, with a clear place on the way from inquiry to settlement.
Companies, contacts, products, suppliers — the lasting entities everything else refers to.
Stock, open orders, receivables, inbox — the current state at a glance, not at month-end.
Pricing, cost rates, limits, targets — transparent rules instead of gut feeling, decided by people.
eluent. was not adapted to chemical trading — it grew out of it: out of more than three decades of product grades, batches, specifications, safety data sheets, Incoterms, currencies and customer-specific prices. We build eluent. for our own trading business first; what proves itself there is what we offer.
And not everyone working in ELUENT is human.
The platform is being built in-house and is going live step by step in our own day-to-day business. This page shows what it is about — if you would like to hear more, and earlier, just get in touch.
