Case Study: Equans achieves 99% service level and better stock balance with Slimstock

Equans gains insight and control over consumables and returns thanks to pioneering work with Slimstock

Equans, a leading technical service provider in Belgium, faced growing supply chain complexity as mergers expanded its portfolio to around 20,000 active stock-controlled items. Managing hundreds of Excel sheets had become unworkable, causing stockouts, weaker inventory control, and a lack of visibility over consumables and tool rentals. Equans turned to Slimstock and its Slim4 supply chain platform to improve inventory management and gain better control.

Working with Slimstock, Equans implemented a tailored solution that also managed return flows for tools, something beyond standard forecasting. The result was better stock balance, far fewer stockouts, and a 99% service level, while also reducing unnecessary tool purchases and related costs. Thanks to Slimstock, Equans now has greater insight and control across its consumables and rentals.
