As retailers strive to strengthen their competitive position, many are reorganising and re-evaluating their strategies. By implementing cost-out programmes, they exert upstream pressure in the supply chain to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce costs, aiming to stabilise or lower consumer prices wherever possible. Throughout 2024, Royal Lemkes responded by focusing on further optimising the supply chain to improve productivity and sustainability. Continuous investment in technology Pim highlights how Royal Lemkes has successfully reduced operational costs through in-depth process reviews and strategic workforce planning: “We analyse our customers’ processes and make conscious choices between customisation and standardisation. Workforce planning is guided by detailed forecasts and predefined budgets, enabling us to evaluate efficiency and identify areas for improvement. We leverage forecasting tools and dashboards to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. These internal optimisations have a positive impact on outbound transport, ensuring that we deliver our products to customers on time, in full and without errors.”
