Lamboo Dried & Deco will boost growth and increase delivery reliability following major supply chain transformation initiative

Lamboo Dried & Deco, a specialist in sustainable dried flowers and decorations, is taking an important step in the further professionalisation of its operations by choosing Slimstock’s supply chain platform. Implementing the award-winning supply chain platform will introduce an efficient and data-driven way of working, providing greater insight into demand patterns. This should lead to a well-balanced inventory and improved delivery reliability.

For more than 40 years, Lamboo Dried & Deco in Lisse has been creating and producing authentic, sustainable and decorative dried flower collections. From seed to vase, the company works with respect for nature and people. With an eye for trends and seasons, they develop inspiring products, stylish bouquets, and trendy designs and arrangements that inspire retailers, florists and wholesalers worldwide throughout the year. However, precise coordination between sales, production and purchasing is essential for profitable operations, and this is where Slimstock will support the business.

Efficient data-driven working method

Part of Lamboo’s range is harvested only once a year by Dutch flower growers and then dried in-house. An accurate and timely forecast is therefore essential. In the current approach, planners spend a lot of time working with different lists, making the process time-consuming. Thanks to the use of the AI-driven Slimstock’s platform, Lamboo  will gain insight into reliable sales forecasts, which can be directly translated into production and purchasing figures. This data-driven approach provides a centralised method that introduces a user-friendly and clear way of working throughout the organisation.

Stock balance

By providing insight into sales patterns and applying them to sales plans, Slimstock will help Lamboo to accurately match supply and demand. Thanks to exception management, Lamboo will be able to intervene promptly when stock levels risk getting out of hand. This allows production planning and ordering processes to be optimised at the right moment. This will result in a healthy stock balance, increasing delivery reliability and minimising unnecessary costs, giving Lamboo a solid foundation to reinforce its growth ambitions for the future.
