Líneas Hospitalarias (LH S.A.S), a leading Colombian provider of surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic solutions, has selected Slimstock to support a major transformation of its supply chain planning processes to enhance efficiency by optimising stock levels and boosting service levels.
With deep roots in Colombia, the family-owned company Líneas Hospitalarias operates across three key verticals: Osteosynthesis (OTS – surgical orthopaedics), Home Healthcare (SEC – non-surgical orthopaedics), and Manufacturing. With a central distribution centre, in-house production facility, 29 OTS offices, and 12 retail stores, the business plays a vital role in delivering healthcare solutions to communities across the region.
With a market in constant expansion and a decentralised supply chain management, Líneas Hospitalarias decided to launch a business transformation to improve visibility and collaboration between departments. By partnering with Slimstock, the wholesaler aims to strengthen demand planning, procurement, purchasing, and production processes by:
- Reducing overstock
- Cutting obsolete inventory
- Align planning across sales, production, purchasing, and operations
- Reassign planning responsibilities to boost team productivity
- Establishing optimal stock levels to support network expansion.
Taking steps to success
Looking to the future, Líneas Hospitalarias plans to further elevate its supply chain capabilities through additional Slimstock’s supply planning platform modules, including Business Intelligence, Promotions Management, and strategic planning layers such as Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP).
Santiago Restrepo, Subgerente General de Líneas Hospitalarias (LH S.A.S) highlights, “We’re truly excited to embark on this transformation journey with Slimstock. We are confident that this partnership will strengthen our planning processes and lay the foundation for agile and sustainable growth.”
