For each industry a solution
Developed through over 25 years of real-word application, Slimstock’s inventory optimisation solutions help stockholding businesses all industries to realise their supply chain goals. Through optimising inventory management processes, our customer typical see huge reductions in inventory while simultaneously improving customer service levels.
Ultimately, our solutions have been built to help businesses like yours to achieve operational excellence!
Wholesale & Distribution
In order to gain a competitive advantage, many wholesalers now offer extensive assortments encompassing many thousands of SKUs. While this ensures that customers have plenty of choice, ensuring every item is managed effectively is often a real challenge.
With Slim4, wholesalers and distributors gain greater control over their inventory thus enabling them to achieve efficiency improvements. Through optimising the entire inventory optimisation process, businesses can reduce inventory levels by up to 30% while still achieving the service levels customers expect.
Retail & Ecommerce
Retail is a dynamic and complex industry: the number of product introductions is always increasing, the promotional pressure is high. Given that turnover is fragmented across multiple locations and channels, it’s vital that the inventory is managed effectively to ensure the customer always enjoys a convenient shopping experience wherever they choose to make a purchase.
Slimstock’s retail solutions are designed to enable structural inventory optimisation in Food, Fashion, and Non-Food environments. The focus is on the central warehouse, the webshop(s), and automatic store replenishment. Through utilising our inventory optimisation software, Slim4, coupled with our extensive retail experience, we ensure that our customer reaches their inventory goals: the right stock at the right time in the right shop!
Manufacturing
In order to make the absolute most of the available production capacity, manufacturers depend upon a reliable supply chain. In make-to-stock environments, planning teams must be able to generate robust forecasts to ensure that the right products are made in the right volume as well as to ensure that the all of the required components are available at the right time.
Equally, in make-to-order environments, an accurate estimate of required parts and components is essential in order to satisfy customer demand in a timely manner. In both scenarios, Slim4 is instrumental in enabling manufacturers to strike the balance between inventory costs and availability!
Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO)
For businesses in the MRO arena, providing customers with a reliable service is crucial. However, with extensive assortments and a high proportion of slow-moving articles, maintaining high levels of availability while keeping inventory costs under control can be a huge challenge. Our solutions help MRO businesses to maintain consistently high service levels while still keeping a tight hold on supply chain costs and investment in inventory.
