Yomart, a leading player in Indonesia’s retail sector, has launched a supply chain initiative to centralise planning, improving on-shelf availability and enhancing visibility throughout its end-to-end operation.

With over 40 years’ experience in the market, Yomart, a division of PT Akur Pratama (Yogya Group), operates more than 300 supermarkets and convenience stores across Indonesia. Renowned for its commitment to customer satisfaction, Yomart delivers high-quality products in a welcoming shopping environment. As part of its strategy to strengthen its market presence and enhance operational efficiency, Yomart recognised the need to embrace an advanced supply chain planning solution.

“To stay ahead in an ever-evolving world, we must invest in our supply chain to leverage the technologies available,” adds Fery Simarta, Merchandising and Warehouse Purchasing Manager at Yomart.

 

The Perfect Match for Yomart’s Vision

Yomart implemented Slimstock’s AI-powered supply chain planning solution to enhance business performance and streamline its operation. By integrating seamlessly with Yomart’s existing ERP system, Slimstock’s platform will help the retailer to:

  • Improve financial performance, increasing on-shelf availability
  • Create better visibility, reducing the risk of waste
  • Centralise purchasing to streamline its end-to-end supply chain

By automating manual tasks throughout the supply chain, especially during peak trade periods, Slimstock will empower Yomart to set the foundation for sustainable growth as it delivers an exceptional customer experience.

 

Aiming for Greater Efficiency

As part of this initiative, Yomart aims to reduce its working capital investment in stock by 25% while building up its exceptional availability standards.

 “I am confident Slimstock can help us achieve our inventory reduction goals this year,” says Fery. “As we evolve our internal operations, Slimstock’s technology will enable us to focus on business efficiency as we exceed customer expectations with unrivalled availability.”
