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 of revenue while reducing working capital tied up in dead stock. Traficon wanted a central approach that would ensure goods are available where customers actually buy them.
Solution
Centralized inventory control for a growing retail network
Logio implemented Veritico STOCK to optimize 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.
Centralized 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.
