Boosting availability and cutting dead stock in 130+ stores
Logio partnered with Traficon to implement Veritico Stock and centralise inventory management across more than 130 stores in the Czech Republic.
Outcome
The project focused on improving availability of high‑turnover items and reducing capital tied in dead stock. Optimised stock structures and managed inter‑store transfers helped keep bestsellers available while cleaning up slow‑moving inventory.

Initial challenge
Traficon needed to make inventory management more efficient across a rapidly growing network of more than 130 stores. The existing setup did not sufficiently support differentiated stock levels for fast‑moving and slow‑moving items.
Project goal
The goal was to increase availability of items with the highest share in turnover while reducing capital tied up in dead stock. Traficon wanted a central approach that would ensure goods are available where customers actually buy them.
Solution
Centralised inventory control for a growing retail network
Logio implemented Veritico Stock to optimise stock structures at store level, centralise ordering, and manage transfers of goods between branches so that products are always available where they are needed most.

Impact
More available bestsellers, less dead stock
More A‑category items in stock
The share of A‑category items in total inventory increased by 11 percentage points, improving availability of key revenue‑driving products.
Less capital tied in slow‑moving items
The share of D‑category items in total inventory decreased by 13 percentage points, freeing capital from dead stock and improving inventory quality.
Centralised control across 130+ stores
Inventory is now steered centrally with the support of store‑to‑store transfers, ensuring products are available where customers need them most.

LNG station network design for GasNet
Logio analysed freight flows through the Czech Republic and used distribution strategy modelling to position seven LNG stations so they can cover around 80 % of the territory and make low emission fuel significantly more accessible for carriers.
