Delivering the right products at the right time is at the heart of foodservice distribution. Every day, distributors balance changing demand, product availability, and shelf-life considerations to help chefs, restaurants, hotels, and foodservice operators keep their kitchens running smoothly.
Against this backdrop, Bidfood Singapore, a foodservice distributor, has completed its project with Slimstock. The completion of the project marks another step in the company’s move towards a more structured and data-driven approach to forecasting, inventory planning, and replenishment.
Addressing the realities of foodservice planning
Planning in the foodservice industry faces its own set of challenges. Planning needs are different for frozen, chilled, and ambient products; thus, there must be a need to balance availability, shelf-life management, and prevention of wastage which are avoidable.
From the beginning of the project, Bidfood Singapore sought ways of developing a better planning process. The move towards a more automated planning process through Slimstock’s solution resulted in a more transparent process which helps in forecasting and replenishment activities.
Developing a better planning process
The project was designed to help Bidfood Singapore:
- Improve availability of inventories while managing excess stock and wastage exposure
- Develop more shelf-life aware planning on frozen, chilled, and ambient products
- Improve forecasting and replenishment decisions in the face of changes in demand
- Enhance planners’ visibility and exception-based decision making.
It should be noted that Slim4 does not change planners’ skillset but provides them with the necessary information and decision support to plan and decide better in the changing situation.
In the end, all these improvements in planning help Bidfood Singapore continue providing its customers with the service they rely on daily.
Looking ahead
The project completion marks an important step in Bidfood Singapore. Slimstock would like to thank the Bidfood Singapore team for their collaboration and trust during the whole project.
