Sysu International, a revered food importer and distributor, has embarked on a significant supply chain transformation to boost productivity, cut waste, and increase operational efficiency. Joining forces with Slimstock, the food specialist will adopt the award-winning supply chain planning platform, Slim4.

With the mission to dynamically pursue exceptional and innovative products and solutions for their internal and external customers, Sysu International is an exclusive distributor for numerous fast-moving consumer goods brands. As a trusted supplier to some of the biggest retailers in the region and a major supplier to the food service market, Sysu International faces some significant supply chain challenges.

With an ever-growing catalogue of products, the planning team at Sysu needed an innovative solution to help navigate the complexity of managing the inventory of products. The business recognised an opportunity to enhance its supply chain capabilities with advanced technology and opted for Slimstock’s Slim4 platform to realise its business goals.
