Overcome today’s sanitary supply chain challenges
Slim4 meets the specific challenges of the sanitary industry, helping you stay ahead in a market where visibility and agility are critical to success.
Demand forecasting
Challenge
Demand can fluctuate, making it difficult to forecast what’s needed, where, and when, without automated, machine learning-driven assistance.
Solution
Slim4’s AI and machine learning capabilities ensure that demand forecasting occurs with unrivalled precision, no matter the conditions or fluctuations.
Purchasing
Challenge
Concern over meeting demand often drives overstocking and disproportionate investment early in the supply chain, ultimately impacting profit margins.
Solution
Slim4’s PO optimiser, the order generator (OG), synchronises with real-time demand data as well as inventory capacity to make sure you’re making the right investments at the right time.
Visibility
Challenge
A lack of end-to-end visibility not only harms supply and demand metrics, but also inventory optimisation, sustainability, transport, fulfilment, and both internal and external communications.
Solution
Slim4 aggregates all information into one platform, so all parties – teams, decision-makers, suppliers – are working from a single source of truth.
Inconsistent service levels
Challenge
Just as overstocking is a problem, trying to cut corners and anticipate slower demand can lead to stockouts, which quickly harms customer loyalty and retention.
Solution
Knowing what’s possible in real-time and in the future means your ATP (available to promise) levels rise immediately. Slim4 ensures not only availability, but clarity and transparency throughout the process.
Managing peaks
Challenge
From overstocking to stockouts, the demand landscape can change quickly. Trying to sidestep both can become chaotic, and a drain on resources and profits.
Solution
Slim4 works not only from real-time data and future forecasts, but historical context as well. Anticipate peaks and troughs, and ensure an end-to-end process that suits all time horizons.
Project competition
Challenge
In a very competitive sector, the race and pressure to be awarded major projects can define a company’s quarter or even their yearly performance.
Solution
By ensuring complete transparency, keeping promises of availability, and fulfilling orders in the most efficient way, company reputation is elevated when using Slim4.
Slim4’s key features for sanitary
Slimstock’s holistic platform provides powerful, industry-specific tools to transform sanitary supply chain planning and execution.
Slim4’s order generator (OG) optimises order creation based on calculated requirements, current lead time capacities, and real-time supplier constraints.
Slim4 works from historical trends, real-time data, and broader market analysis to anticipate peaks and troughs, and adapt supply decisions in an instant.
Slimstock helps clients manage large product assortments by exception, helping to prioritise according to real-time demand, and sales value.
Ensuring product availability is essential, and Slim4 makes it possible with precise forecasting, avoiding the costs of overstocking and waste while protecting your margins.
Slim4’s dedicated purchase modules enable you to handle the complexity of purchase contracts and special price agreements over long periods.
It is critical to allocate stock where demand is at a localised, granular level, and in real-time. When that demand isn’t consistent, Slim4 proposes the most efficient way to balance stock across your whole network.

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.
