Early Findings

Specialty Chemical Online Store

  • The Chemical Store Inc. has an online store where it sells it specialty chemicals to manufacturers, researchers, and other types of customers.
  • The company is located in New Jersey.
  • There is no catalog featured on its website that lists all the company's products in one file.
  • The products can be accessed by clicking on the letters of the alphabet tabs that correspond to the first letter of the chemical's name.
  • The full inventory at the store level and at the warehouse level seem to be not fully shown as the quantity field for each product was configured to accept only two-digit numbers.
  • The pricing data is shown for each product.
  • Customers can place an order without contacting the company by adding the items to their carts.
  • Orders can also be tracked using the "Track My Order" button at the bottom of the page.
