Logistical Services

In order to provide the greatest value to our industrial customers, Overlake Oil prefers to deliver products directly to the point at which they are needed, whenever possible. Our personnel visit on-site regularly to make the rounds on points of lubricant application, deliver products as needed and make note of opportunities to improve the operation. This substantially improves your operation and benefits you in many ways:

Eliminates the order placement / tracking / receiving cycle

By having our personnel create and deliver the order against a standing PO, the entire chain of requisition and purchase order becomes unnecessary. Our invoicing can clearly show the accounting codes for tracking use through the various manufacturing units or production lines. This results in significant time-saving.

Eliminates drum handling

By the time a drum is received at the warehouse, moved to the unit, placed on a stand, and moved to a collection point for return or disposal, it is handled numerous times. With our logistical services, all of these moves are eliminated. Most importantly, the risk of injury to an employee handling drums and resulting L&I claim is also eliminated.

Minimizes inventory requirements

Our regularly scheduled visits allow for just-in-time delivery of lubricants. This frees up warehouse space and working capital for more productive uses. It also means the product is fresher since it turns faster, and is less likely to become obsolete on the shelf due to a change in a process requiring a product change.

Assures quick response time

By being on-site regularly, we become intimately familiar with your operations and visible to your staff. When a question or problem arises, it can be much more readily addressed and a satisfactory solution found.

Despite your best planning and intentions, we understand that unforeseen things happen. To accommodate emergencies, we are accessible 24 hours, 7 days a week. We can be on-site within 2-3 hours to deliver product or assess the situation.
