APOK, the Belgian specialist in roofing and facade materials, has chosen Slimstock’s supply chain platform Slim4 to optimise stock allocation per branch. By better aligning stock with local demand, APOK aims to maximise its sales potential. The implementation of Slimstock’s award-winning platform will enable APOK to achieve greater customer focus and a more efficient way of working, with attention to seasonal fluctuations in demand.

APOK supports roofing and facade professionals with a complete range of materials and services, distributed through a network of more than 30 branches throughout Belgium. APOK’s comprehensive service includes customised zinc, copper and aluminium products, fast on-site deliveries and expert technical support. To meet the ever-increasing expectations of professional customers, optimal product availability is essential. By implementing Slim4, APOK now has powerful tools at its disposal to tackle these challenges and set up its supply chain in a future-oriented way.

 

Better allocation

APOK strives to better align stock availability in its branches with actual demand. This allows customers to be served faster and more efficiently, while optimising sales potential. Slimstock supports this process with advanced forecasting, exception management and improved supplier follow-up. In addition, the distribution centre is also being optimised, including through service level differentiation and smarter ordering and replenishment strategies. By responding better to seasonal influences and working more efficiently throughout the chain, APOK aims to manage stock more accurately and minimise dead stock.

 

Future-oriented

By entering into a partnership with Slimstock, APOK is laying the foundation for a modern, data-driven supply chain that is agile enough to respond to both daily operational needs and long-term strategies. APOK and Slimstock are thus taking an important step together towards sustainable growth and customer-focused innovation in the construction sector, which is geared towards the future.
