Overcome today’s ecommerce supply chain challenges
Slim4 addresses the unique demands of the ecommerce industry, ensuring you stay ahead in a market that continues to evolve at pace.
Product quality
Challenge
Ecommerce companies often need to be specialists in a specific product area, making the quality of fulfilment, and the product itself, paramount.
Solution
Ensure quality throughout the whole process, from strategic and transparent supply to clear communication, and timely fulfilment.
Global sourcing
Challenge
Ecommerce is inherently global, leaving it exposed to geopolitical disruptions or international market shifts.
Solution
Slim4 anticipates disruptions, while its end-to-end visibility and synchronisation of data allows for better agility and adaptability in the face of constraints.
Supply chain visibility
Challenge
Tracking products across the entire supply chain is more complex in the ecommerce world, often working across borders, international facilities, and global consumer bases.
Solution
Slim4 consolidates all data into one platform, giving you complete visibility of what’s needed, what’s possible in real-time, and what customers are expecting.
Marketplaces vs webshops
Challenge
Different scales of ecommerce operation have different requirements, each with their own requirements and sensitivities.
Solution
Slim4 scales up or down regardless of whether it’s a marketplace or webshop operation, and regardless of whether the company has its own stores to factor into the chain.
Large-scale assortment
Challenge
Across large networks, assortment and product lifecycle management is hugely complex, with the company exposed to different international trends, peaks, seasons, disruptions, and demand.
Solution
Slim4’s dedicated assortment, network balancing and multi-echelon inventory optimisation features enable seamless, strategic movement of stock to ensure availability and optimal cost-effectiveness.
Demand volatility
Challenge
You need to be ready to ensure availability across the network, but if demand suddenly drops, excess stock, premature markdowns, or product obsolescence become concerns.
Solution
Anticipate demand, forecast with accuracy, and locate stock according to AI-driven projections, all through the Slim4 platform. Prepare for all scenarios without needlessly overstocking.

From our customers to you
Game-changer for our Supply Chain performance.
Once we had decided on which Supply Chain planning software you implement, it was a relatively straightforward implementation. We had great support from the Slimstock implementation team throughout the whole process.
Slim4 has helped us centralize our purchasing, which has led to less time spent overall when it comes to purchasing.
At the same time we have increased our service levels to customers by several percentage points while keeping our stock levels low.
Slim4 was an easy tool to learn with an intuitive interface.
The team was quite hands-on in getting the implementation done as efficiently as possible and the results were quite evident from the get-go.
