Challenges

As for many retailers, Leroy Merlin is facing a space dilemma. The company
both wants to maximise the space in stores to be able to sell more but needs
to carry enough inventory so it never loses a sell due to product unavailability.

When you have a network of 141 stores only in France, this problem can have a
major impact on the bottom-line of the entire group. This is why Leroy Merlin needed
to rethink its supply chain from the ground-up to both maximise its store storage
space and insure that product would always be available for the customer.

Solutions

Spacefill identified that the best solution for Leroy Merlin was to benefit from
unlimited an flexible storage capacities next to their stores. For any Leroy Merlin
store, whatever is location, Spacefill has been able to connect the store to a
warehouse close-by.

Thanks to the density of the Spacefill network, Leroy Merlin could choose the locations
that made sense and would limit transportations costs and CO2 emissions.

Moreover, Spacefill not only activated the solution but also connected it through
its platform. It means that every store manager now benefits from a state-of-the-art
platform to manage its inventories as it sees fit.

Benefits

Leroy Merlin is now able to adapt its storage capacities to its needs in a few
clicks. Leroy Merlin’s connected network has now attained 14 locations and new
stores are joining every month.

Thanks to the platform Leroy Merlin has a unique source of truth for every store within
its network.
This dramatically reduces errors as Spacefill and the HQ have built a common
process to activate, connect and operate externalized storage.

Now every store can easily make sure it both increases selling space (by reducing
the need for local inventory) and always has in store what its clients needs (by having
inventory close by). Some store even increased their turnover by 35% since they
implemented the solution.
