Case Study: Deschacht improves inventory management and customer focus with Slimstock's Slim4

Deschacht centralizes replenishment and saves branch managers several hours a day with Slimstock

Deschacht, a Belgian construction materials wholesaler, faced challenges managing inventory across its network of branches, which handled many bulky items with a flexible multi-site approach. This decentralized process took significant time away from branch managers. To centralize replenishment and improve efficiency, Deschacht implemented the Slim4 inventory optimization solution from vendor Slimstock.

The solution from Slimstock centralized operational stock replenishment, using Slim4 to uniformly determine reorder points and quantities. This freed branch managers from daily inventory tasks, allowing them to focus on customers, while a central team of two now handles replenishment efficiently. Although maintaining a strong service level was the priority, Slimstock's solution provided better visibility for optimal stock distribution across branches and supports tactical purchasing decisions in a volatile market.
