Case Study: Arkema achieves unified master supply‑chain data, improved compliance, and smoother M&A integration with TIBCO Software

Jean-Marc Viallatte at Arkema Wins 2021 TIBCO Visionary Lighthouse Award

Arkema, a €8B specialty chemicals and advanced materials company based in France, faced the growing challenge of managing not just physical raw materials but the complex flow of data across customer, vendor, and material domains. Under Jean‑Marc Viallatte, group VP of Global Supply Chain, the company needed a centralized way to standardize and govern master data so downstream systems could rely on a single trusted source.

Arkema deployed TIBCO Unify technology and established its supply chain team as a "control tower," using APIs to deliver master supply chain data to downstream systems and layering a common data framework across products. The result was standardized, accurate data shared widely across the organization, improved regulatory compliance, smoother M&A data integration, and enhanced customer service—earning Viallatte the 2021 TIBCO Visionary Lighthouse Award.
