Overcome today’s pharma and healthcare supply chain challenges
Slim4 addresses the unique demands of the pharma and healthcare industry, ensuring you’re prepared for seasonal health events as well as being agile to less predictable incidents.
API and raw material shortages
Challenge
In a truly global industry, companies have little control over active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or material shortages, leading to frequent stockouts, lost sales and poor customer satisfaction.
Solution
Slim4 dynamically predicts supplier reliability and future lead times, adapting supply plans automatically without creating an overstock situation.
Volatile demand
Challenge
Competitive product launches of generic medicines lead to volatile demand and sudden saturation of previously stable markets.
Solution
Real-time analysis of demand through the Slim4 platform allows you to both anticipate and plan for market shifts, to pivot supply instantly, and to manage by exception.
Inventory management
Challenge
Volatile demand and seasonality change the inventory situation frequently, making it difficult to optimise how much stock to store, where, and when.
Solution
Slim4’s dynamic safety stock, and service-level driven algorithms help you find the perfect balance between capital employed and service level, no matter the market conditions.
Integrated end-to-end planning
Challenge
When working in silos, planning, operations, and sales are often reading from different sources of truth, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
Solution
Having one source of truth through the Slim4 platform enhances S&OP through more aligned understanding and collaborative decision-making.
Slim4’s key features for pharma and healthcare
Slimstock’s holistic platform provides powerful, industry-specific tools to transform supply chain planning and execution for pharma and healthcare.
Slim4 helps you focus on urgent and important short-, medium-, and long-term tasks, providing clear work processes and reducing workloads by up to 50%.
Advanced performance monitoring
Monitor performance on a periodic basis, and – more importantly – through one synchronised source where Slim4 presents all important metrics and KPIs.
Slim4 ensures every item is calculated in the right way. Automatic analysis yields high forecast accuracy and optimal service levels through minimal stock – no matter the season, product, or demand shift.
Dynamic safety stock comes from constant inventory calculations performed within Slim4, all driven by your target service level. Simulations help to make automatic best-case decisions to maximise profits, always.
Slim4 optimises assortment per warehouse and per location. ABC/XYZ analysis focuses on the most important items – those with more sales, more turnover, and higher margins, so you’re prioritising smartly.
Slim4 is not only about forecasting and inventory management. Sales & Operations Planning and Integrated Business Planning unified in the same Slim4 platform. All in one sole system.

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.
