Packaging materials specialist Profipack will implement Slimstock’s supply chain platform, Slim4, to further professionalise their procurement and inventory management. By choosing Slim4, Profipack is taking an important step in improving efficiency and accuracy within its processes. The company wants to achieve a more efficient and transparent procurement process, with the optimal balance between the desired service level and the required stock level.
The specialist packaging wholesaler supplies customers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany from its Utrecht branch. With its own webshop, Profipack offers customers a wide range of products for anyone who has something to pack, ship or protect, as well as products that no company can do without, such as toilet paper, bin liners and cleaning cloths.
Implementing Slim4 will ensure that all inventory management is seamlessly aligned with the company’s operational needs. For example, Slim4 will not only ensure a clear and straightforward purchasing process, but also a stock that is up to date with the set forecasts. This should minimise the risk of stock-outs while maintaining the service level at the desired level, without building up overstock.
Slimstock functionalities decisive
The choice of Slimstock followed a disappointing experience with an alternative software vendor, which could not meet Profipack’s specific needs. Translating stock strategy into practice proved too much of a challenge, so a better solution was sought. This is how Slimstock came into the picture. By using Slimstock’s award-winning platform, Slim4, Profipack will be able to manage inventory more effectively with crucial functionalities, such as the efficient filling of containers from China. It should result in a better stock balance and thus a more profitable policy.
