Case Study: Lecot achieves 25% more branch supply with less replenishment using Slimstock

Lecot Supplies 25% More Branches With 20% Fewer Replenishment Orders

Lecot, a Belgian construction wholesaler with more than 130 years of experience and over 75 branches, needed a better way to manage replenishment as it expanded rapidly and shifted toward omnichannel sales. Its existing min-max approach had become too static, putting pressure on distribution centers and making it harder to keep stock balanced across branches.

Lecot implemented Slimstock’s Slim4 planning platform to centralize and automate replenishment across its network. Slimstock helped reduce stock levels by 20%, cut order lines by more than 20%, and lift branch service levels to 95%, enabling Lecot to add 14 branches while improving availability and easing DC workload.
