Klondike Lubricants
“Scout felt like an extension of our team—proactive, strategic, and seamless.”
Problem
Klondike, a Canadian supplier of heavy-duty, automotive, and industrial oils and lubricants, urgently needed a new 3PL partner in the Greater Toronto Area. Their existing provider was shifting away from lubricants to focus on food and healthcare, forcing Klondike to find a replacement quickly. The challenge was compounded by the complexity of handling multiple SKUs, including dangerous goods, as well as limited internal time and resources to manage an intensive search.
Solution
Scout streamlined the 3PL search with a structured, hands-on approach. They vetted potential partners, analyzed competitive quotes in a side-by-side comparison, conducted site visits on Klondike’s behalf, and delivered strategic insights to optimize the company’s logistics footprint. Rather than just providing options, Scout acted as an extension of Klondike’s team, offering transparency, expertise, and proactive recommendations.
