LEAFIO continues to expand its retail optimization expertise across multiple retail verticals. Maxibuild, a distributor and retailer of construction materials, is a clear example of how LEAFIO Inventory Optimization helps increase inventory efficiency in the DIY sector.
Maxibuild has been in the market since 2006. The company is dedicated to providing access to quality goods from local and global suppliers. Roughly 40% of the building materials industry assortment is available to the Maxibuild customer. The company offers bricks and blocks, drywall, thermal insulation, plumbing and drainage systems, chemicals, gardening equipment, cleaning equipment, flooring, power tools, electrical goods, and other products.
The company's mission is to help customers build dream homes easier, providing access to quality building materials along with the best-in-class service in the industry.

Inventory management processes were manual, item management methodology was inconsistent, and calculations of target quantities were missing. Key performance indicators analysis was fragmented and did not paint the full picture. Therefore, the company initiated a search for an inventory optimization software provider.

In addition, throughout the pilot project, the company management acknowledged the tremendous practical benefit of having an analytical report, which signals surpluses and shortages in warehouses and enables the rapid movement of goods, ensuring optimal sales and store capacity.

We also appreciate the ease of communication with the vendor's technical support and the profound and professional advice and assistance provided," notes Oleg Sakal, the Head of the General Construction Department of Maxibuild.
