Your supplier put you on backorder. Now what?
RightPath Industries is the call manufacturers make when their primary chemical supplier goes on backorder. With 8,000+ chemicals, three U.S. warehouses, and same-day quoting, RightPath fills supply gaps in solvents, alcohols, glycols, acids, and specialty chemicals — often shipping while the primary supplier is still quoting a recovery date.
How fast can a backup supplier ship?
Quotes are same-day, and in-stock material ships as fast as freight allows — same-day delivery is available on select products in the Tri-State area. Emergency drum and tote orders are a normal part of RightPath’s business, not an exception.
How do I stop backorders from happening again?
Dual-sourcing. Keeping RightPath qualified as a second source means a backorder becomes a phone call instead of a shutdown. The Assured Supply program goes further — committed inventory reserved for your operation, with just-in-time release to your dock.
What does switching or supplementing cost?
Nothing to qualify: pricing is customer-specific with all-in delivered quotes and no hidden fees, and there is no rigid minimum order. Many buyers discover their “backup” beats their primary on price and response time.
FAQ
Can RightPath cover a chemical my distributor has on backorder?
Usually yes — with 8,000+ chemicals and national sourcing, RightPath quotes availability the same day you ask.
Do I have to move all my volume to use RightPath?
No. Many customers use RightPath as a qualified second source, then shift volume based on price and service.
What information speeds up an emergency quote?
Chemical name, grade, quantity, packaging, and delivery ZIP — with those, most quotes return within hours.
