AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Slimstock, a global leader in AI-driven supply chain planning and inventory optimization solutions, and Boer & Croon, a premier Dutch management consultancy specializing in operational excellence and organizational transformation, have officially announced a strategic alliance.

Bridging Advanced Technology and Strategic Execution

  • Faster Time-to-Value: Synchronizing software deployment with organizational alignment to ensure high adoption rates and immediate improvements in service levels and working capital.
  • Sustainable Operational Resilience: Addressing complex structural, operational, and talent challenges to build future-proof supply chain networks.

“This Alliance brings together two complementary strengths that Dutch and international clients need more than ever: deep expertise in change management and operational transformation with best-in-class digital supply chain technology,” said Stan Krupnik, Global Director of Partnerships at Slimstock. “By combining Boer & Croon’s proven ability to drive lasting organizational change with Slim4’s AI-powered planning capabilities, we can help companies eliminate waste, improve availability, and build more resilient supply chains.”
