Pacaembu Autopeças, a leader in the distribution of auto parts for commercial vehicles in Brazil, has decided to launch a supply chain transformation process to improve its operations. By implementing Slimstock’s supply planning solution, Slim4, the wholesaler will reduce the risk of stockout and improve cash flow while maintaining high service levels.

With 60 years of history, over 370 partner brands, approximately 57,000 items in its portfolio, and 32 branches, Pacaembu Autopeças is a major player in Brazil’s automotive parts distribution market. To support its ongoing digital transformation, Pacaembu has partnered with Slimstock, a global leader in supply chain planning technology, to improve inventory control.

“We believe the tool meets almost all of our requirements straight out of the box,” says Ana Paula Cassorla, Director at Pacaembu Autopeças. “That was key for us. This meant we didn’t need to invest time or resources in major customisations. The solution aligned well with our way of working and offered a smooth, fast integration, something we felt would bring immediate benefits.”

By implementing Slim4, Pacaembu will be able to:

  • Make smarter assortment decisions.
  • Optimise inventory across all branches.
  • Free up working capital tied up in excess stock.

The decision to move forward was was also reinforced by Slimstock’s status as a benchmark among distributors in the automotive sector. As competition grows fiercer and customer expectations rise, Pacaembu’s investment in more intelligent planning capabilities signals a clear commitment to staying ahead in a challenging and fast-moving market.
