Farmatodo

To support growth and ensure excellent service levels, Farmatodo decided to partner with Slimstock to modernise its supply planning. Within months, the company has unlocked new levels of efficiency, visibility and on-shelf availability.

With more than 350 stores across Venezuela, Colombia and Argentina, Farmatodo is one of Latin America’s leading drugstore retailers. As a business focused on delivering wellbeing through health, beauty, baby and personal care products, product availability is at the heart of the customer experience.

Celebrating more than 107 years of operation, Farmatodo has built its reputation on innovation, resilience and customer-centricity. To support its rapid growth and ensure customers always find the products they need, Farmatodo embarked on a strategic initiative to modernise and elevate its supply chain planning.

With an expanding business and increasing product ranges, Farmatodo identified the need for a more agile and scalable planning solution. After a comprehensive review of over multiple technology providers, the business decided to implement Slimstock’s solution across its operations.

“We have always viewed our supply chain as a competitive advantage. But to maintain high availability and support our growth, we needed to evolve technologically,” said Michael Guilarte, Vice President of Supply Chain, Farmatodo.

Why Slimstock?

After an extensive evaluation process, Farmatodo chose Slimstock not only for the power of its solution, but also for the strength of its people and methodology.

“Technology can be replicated. What truly made the difference was the human side, the attention, flexibility, and support behind Slimstock’s solution,” explained Michael Guilarte.

This alignment of values ensured that the project was approached collaboratively, with both teams working closely to tailor the solution to Farmatodo’s business model and operational realities.

A smooth and accelerated implementation

Farmatodo highlights the implementation of Slimstock’s platform as one of the most seamless and efficient technology deployments in its history, highlighting the following:

• Full visibility and support throughout every phase.
• Rapid adaptation of the solution to meet local business rules.
• Clear alignment between technical and operational teams.

“It was one of the smoothest and most agile implementations we’ve carried out. We felt fully accompanied, and the project was completed even faster than we originally expected.” Pointed Michael Guilarte.

Within just months of adopting Slimstock’s solution, the retailer saw substantial operational and financial improvements across its supply chain.

With Slimstock’s tool established as a central planning tool, Farmatodo is now better equipped to support its continued expansion across Latin America. The retailer intends to further leverage Slimstock’s platform capabilities to refine forecasting, enhance automation, and strengthen cross-functional decision-making.

“Slimstock has enabled us to evolve our supply chain with speed, clarity, and confidence. It’s a partnership that continues to bring significant value,” concluded Michael Guilarte.
