Slimstock Helps Asia Express Food Optimise Inventory Processes and Respond Effectively to Exceptions

To achieve the ideal balance between desired service levels and required inventory levels, Asia Express Food has adopted Slimstock’s Slim4 supply chain platform. The specialist in Asian food products aims to streamline its inventory processes and manage stock more efficiently, with Slimstock providing the necessary support.

Asia Express Food offers an extensive range of over 4,500 products. From its distribution centre in Kampen, The Netherlands, the company delivers authentic brands across Europe. As many of Asia Express Food’s products are imported directly from other continents, longer lead times result in fluctuating inventory levels. Slimstock’s AI-driven platform provides the solution to these challenges. By implementing Slim4, the total supplier of Asian and African food products aims to gain better control over its supply chain and respond more effectively to exceptions in demand planning.

Minimising Waste

Asia Express Food’s primary goals are to reduce inventory levels, improve product availability for customers, and minimise waste. Additionally, enhancing the efficiency of internal processes is a key focus. With Slimstock support, Asia Express Food will optimise its forecasting and demand planning processes, considering seasonality, trends, and promotions. The system will also enable efficient management of purchasing and production orders, ensuring that demand is directly translated into appropriate inventory levels.

Why Slimstock?

“With Slim4, we can improve our inventory control and anticipate the impact of long lead times, helping us better meet customer demand,” says Albert Brouwer, Purchasing Director at Asia Express Food. “We’re excited about all the possibilities that Slim4 offers.”
