Introduction
Logent is one of northern Europe’s most respected independent logistics partners, known for its turnkey solutions in warehouse design, transport management, staffing, and consulting. As a key player in logistics and supply chain management, Logent has built its reputation on operational precision and flexibility. However, scaling to meet increasing customer demands required an innovative approach to warehouse infrastructure that could effectively manage their growing complexity and capacity needs.
The challenge
Logent was tasked with undertaking a high-stakes project for a major automotive supply chain client. The initiative involved managing over 20,000 pallets and implementing 1,200 flow shelves in a picking area.
The challenges were significant:
- Tight timelines: The project demanded rapid implementation within an extremely short realization period.
- Flexibility requirements: Custom solutions were needed to adapt seamlessly to frequent and evolving customer requirements.
- Massive storage needs: Efficiently storing and managing over 20,000 pallets presented a daunting logistical challenge.
For a company committed to delivering cost-efficient, high-quality solutions to its clients, overcoming these hurdles required an innovative and reliable partner capable of tailoring advanced storage systems to their needs.
The solution
To address these challenges, stow delivered a customized pallet racking and flow shelf system designed to optimize Logent’s operations.

To meet the needs of the 1,200 flow shelf picking area, the team developed a modular flow shelving solution designed to adapt dynamically to current and future requirements. The design facilitated seamless picking processes and enabled increased operational efficiency. - Collaborative Execution
A close collaboration between Logent and the vendor’s sales and local realization team in Belgium ensured on-the-ground support. This localized approach helped streamline communication and project execution while maintaining flexibility for on-demand adjustments.
