Slimstock, a global leader in supply chain optimization, today announced an official partnership with Sage. This collaboration introduces the end-to-end integration of Slimstock’s industry-leading Slim4 Supply Chain Orchestration platform with the Sage X3 ERP backbone, empowering product-centric businesses to achieve unparalleled operational efficiency and agility.

Sage X3 serves as a robust, AI-powered cloud ERP backbone designed specifically for mid-sized to large product-centric businesses. By unifying core business operations, Sage X3 provides a strong foundation for growth. Through this new partnership, the Slim4 SCM platform is fully integrated to interact directly with the Sage ERP environment. This allows for real-time data exchange, the creation of AI-powered demand forecasts to address dynamic customer needs, and the optimization of the entire end-to-end supply planning process.

“By combining Sage X3’s comprehensive ERP backbone with Slimstock’s advanced supply chain capabilities, our customers are truly getting the best of both worlds,” – Stan Krupnik, Global Director of Partnerships at Slimstock stated. “This integrated solution ensures that a company’s digital transformation journey is not only smooth but built on a robust, future-proof roadmap.”

 

Unlocking the Best of Both Worlds

For mid-sized to large distribution and manufacturing companies, this partnership bridges the gap between execution and strategic planning. While Sage X3 manages the core transactional reality, Slim4 acts as the intelligent layer above it—translating that data into actionable, AI-powered supply chain decisions and optimized purchase orders.

The effectiveness of this combined powerhouse is already proven, with dozens of joint customers across the manufacturing and distribution sectors successfully utilizing the integrated solution to cut costs and boost service levels.
