Case Study: Whitaker Oil Company achieves increased profitability with Datacor's Chempax VB

Datacor Helps Whitaker Oil Increase Profitability

Whitaker Oil, a southeastern U.S. distributor of solvents, chemicals and petroleum products with blending, terminaling and custom packaging services, faced the challenge of managing a complex enterprise with multiple companies and facilities and needed a chemical-industry-specific business software to measure profitability at the transaction level. After evaluating options, Whitaker Oil selected Datacor’s Chempax VB to provide an integrated solution tailored to their operations.

Datacor implemented Chempax VB to capture every transaction and mirror Whitaker’s processes—batching and blending, inventory, purchasing, safety, price management, order entry, invoicing and financials—while automating report distribution and delivering near-real-time order and invoicing data to sales. Datacor’s Chempax VB also streamlined global price changes, enabling rapid, efficient pricing updates; these improvements helped Whitaker Oil improve operations, better control margins and increase profitability.
