Closelink is excited to announce a recent partnership with LR OneOcean (LR OO), integrating our procurement platform and LR OO’s Cloud Fleet Manager Purchase module. This collaboration enhances the procurement of marine lubricants by automating the transfer of lube-oil requisitions from the Cloud Fleet Manager to Closelink’s platform for optimized planning and ordering.

Automatic transfer of data

Following the integration of Closelink into the Cloud Fleet Manager module, requisitions and orders are automatically exchanged between the two systems. Mutual users will also have access to Closelink’s full suite of features, including real-time access to price information and optimised purchasing options, always taking into consideration vessel-specific data on current remaining-on-board lubricants and up-to-date schedules.

The partnership between Closelink and LR OneOcean offers clients several key advantages. The seamless and automated data exchange between the two systems significantly reduces manual work and the likelihood of errors. Mutual clients gain access to Closelink’s cost-optimization features, which include strategic planning and order optimization. Additionally, the integration supports a procurement process tailored specifically for lubricants, enhancing overall efficiency and effectiveness.

Enhanced efficiency and cost savings

LR OneOcean’s General Manager for Cloud Fleet Manager, Alexander Buchmann, said:
