After merging three Belgian wholesalers, STG centralized operations in a single Herentals facility handling 12,500 SKUs ranging from small fittings to large tanks. Manhattan SCALE replaced multiple legacy WMS platforms, enabling standardized processes, real-time labor allocation, and advanced slotting. Within two years inventory accuracy rose from 70% to 98%, OTIF from 50% to 98%, and turnover from 2.7x to 4.5x while warehouse utilization fell below 70%.

Key takeaways
