Case Study:
Lenz Oil

Lenz Oil Service is a fourth-generation, family-owned waste management and recycling company that has proudly served the Peoria and Bloomington/Normal, IL areas since 1947. Originally started as a part-time waste oil pick-up route, the company has grown into a trusted regional leader specializing in the recycling of petroleum products, waste fuels, and automotive fluids, as well as providing commercial grease trap cleaning and vegetable oil recycling. By transforming hazardous waste into eco-friendly reprocessed fuel and reusable lube oils, Lenz Oil Service helps local businesses significantly reduce their environmental footprint while funneling economic value back into the local community.

Lenz Oil Service partnered with OneHat Technologies in 2023 to develop an integrated software platform for streamlining their recycling logistics. The resulting web app tracks collections, pickups, drivers, routes, customers, and more. It automatically pushes data to the Veriflux API, for compliance reasons, and features many custom reports.

Measurable Business Impact

Automated Compliance: Eliminated manual data entry by establishing a real-time, hands-free bridge directly to the Veriflux API.

Replaced Aging Software: Lenz Oil was previously using custom software that was no longer maintainable.

Operational Visibility: Enabled office dispatchers to track drivers, collection volumes, and customer inventories simultaneously from a single web dashboard.

Conclusion

By partnering with OneHat Technologies, Lenz Oil Service successfully modernized its regional recycling footprint. They replaced their ancient and unmaintainable business software with an app that already has had many updates and modifications. This app ensures they remain a reliable, forward-thinking leader in waste management across Central Illinois.
