ECLIC

Definition:

ECLIC (European Chemical Logistics Information Council) is a non-profit, European industrial initiative that promotes digital collaboration and data standards in chemical logistics. The aim of ECLIC is to enable the secure and efficient exchange of logistics and safety information along the chemical supply chain, thereby increasing sustainability, compliance and operational efficiency.
The organization develops and harmonizes digital industry standards and supports their implementation in practice, particularly in the area of hazardous goods logistics and chemical transport.

Standardization & platform initiatives
ECLIC drives initiatives such as Digital Collaboration and harmonized data formats to reduce redundant data collection, manual processes and media disruptions in the chemical supply chain.

Cooperation with industrial partners
ECLIC works closely with chemical companies, logistics service providers, associations and technology platforms to establish standardized digital workflows across the industry.

Challenges at ECLIC:

Fragmented data landscapes and lack of standardization in chemical logistics
Many companies use their own formats, tools and communication channels. This leads to media breaks, redundant data inputs and inconsistencies in transport and safety information.

High manual effort and lack of digital transparency
Lack of automation and inconsistent data quality make compliance, traceability, and efficient collaboration between shippers, carriers, and service providers difficult.

Loady's solution:

Standardised, verifiable location and transport requirements
Loady structures and harmonizes transport and location requirements for chemical logistics. Loady thus supports similar goals as ECLIC: fewer media breaks, clear data definitions and better digital collaboration.

Secure and transparent data provision for transport partners
Drivers and service providers receive reliable, uniform information on requirements such as PPE obligations, documents, access requirements or safety regulations — before departure and in several languages.
