Oil & Lubricant Manufacturing
Precision ERP for oil and lubricant blending. Control formulations, tank allocations, viscosity parameters, FEFO compliance, drum serialization, and full batch-to-package traceability—all with no-code flexibility.
Starting Point
A regional oil and lubricant producer blended base oils and additives into dozens of SKUs in drums, pails, and bulk. The core challenges were batch accuracy, additive traceability, and tight control over viscosity, TBN, and pour point—while meeting FEFO across multiple warehouses. Packaging lines suffered from last-minute label changes and frequent partials that muddied inventory.
What Was Breaking
Prior to eresource, blending sheets lived outside the ERP, QC approval lagged, and batch tanks weren’t aligned with material reservations. Packaging often found the right label but not the right release status. Dispatchers couldn’t confidently promise when FEFO and QC constraints collided.
Pain Points:
- Blending sheets maintained outside the ERP system
- Batch tanks not synced with material reservations
- Conflicts between FEFO and QC constraints
- QC approval processes lagging production
- Right labels but unclear release status
- Frequent partials muddying inventory tracking
Implementation: 14 Weeks
We rolled out eresource ERP with Azaalea’s no-code features for formulation versions, tank allocations, blend orders, in-process QC, and staged releases. Without custom code, the team set up strength/potency factors where needed, FEFO pick paths, drum serialization, and label templates. Scales and printers were integrated in light-touch fashion; mobile scans enforced “right label, right batch, right status.”
What we configured:
- Blending & Quality Control
- Formulation versions & tank allocations
- Blend orders with in-process QC
- Strength/potency factors
- Staged release workflows
- Packaging & Traceability
- FEFO pick paths
- Drum serialization
- Custom label templates
- Mobile scan enforcement
After Go-Live
Blending plans respect tank capacity, heat/cool times, and additive lead times. QC results flow straight into release steps; packaging won’t start without a released lot; and serialized drums roll up into dispatches with full genealogy. Sales sees ATP/CTP with FEFO and release logic, so promises align with reality.

Key Takeaways
Fewer blend deviations, faster packaging start, and minimal FEFO violations. Returns dropped as label and lot mismatches disappeared. Finance gained precise batch costing, including additives, utilities proxies, and rework. The best part: when new OEM specs arrived, the team changed formulations and labels themselves—no ticket, no wait—thanks to the no-code framework.
