ALLOCATE STOCK BASED ON REAL-TIME INSIGHTS AND LOCATION-SPECIFIC DEMAND

Why Slimstock?

Through manual means, allocation often leads to too much in one location, too little elsewhere, and a rush to markdown and clear. Slim4 sidesteps all three through data-driven intelligence.

Decentralise stock smartly: from the distribution centre to your stores, remove risk by knowing what’s needed, where.
Pinpoint demand: find the middle ground between too much stock leading to damaged profits, and too little risking customer loyalty.
Unlock new business advantages: use clearer data insights to follow longer-term trends and optimise allocation strategies.

REFINE STOCK DISTRIBUTION AND REDUCE EXCESS INVENTORY COSTS

Benefits to help you optimise stock, sales, and satisfaction

Data-driven distribution

If the right level of stock is being sent according to known demand in each store, then you’re maximising sales opportunities without risking excess inventory.

Meet demand head-on

While overstocking is a problem, failing to fulfil customer demand is a short- and long-term crisis. Allocation software enables you to match stock to demand patterns so that crisis is averted, and the brand reputation is elevated.

Minimise stockholding costs

The risk of overstocking is also financial. Our allocation solution ensures reduced excess inventory at retail locations, lowering costs associated with storage or redistributions.

Make allocation a business differentiator

Stay constantly on the pulse of market trends through real-time, data-driven insights, and let precise allocation of stock become a competitive advantage.

Remove the risk of human error

By automating complex allocation decisions, the risk of human error is drastically reduced, while also saving those teams time which they can spend on strategic activities.

Clear at full price

When allocation is data- and demand-driven at store-by-store level, you’re maximising sales opportunities. Elite allocation software vastly reduces the need to markdown in a race to clear excess stock.

KEY FEATURES OF SLIM4 INVENTORY ALLOCATION SOFTWARE

Advanced data insights for optimal stock allocation across multiple locations

Make allocation a data-driven function

By leveraging real-time data, you’re not just looking at the now. The solution incorporates historical demand as well as statistical or consensus-based forecasts to make the most informed decisions.

Let your objectives dictate decisions

Portfolio allocation software can respond to your business’s evolution. New store openings and closures can be adapted to in moments, saving countless hours forming a new, manual, allocation plan.

Stay flexible to demand

Demand isn’t static, so there has to be wiggle room. Slim4 takes sales participation and stock participation into account to create an index that can be flexed up or down on a store-by-store basis.

Optimise each and every location

As well as the index, you can also attribute certain rules and constraints to certain locations within the solution. Make sure that allocations and replenishment is logistically viable and financially sensible.

Gain 360-degree visibility of your stock cycle

Become a master of your stock at a granular level. The solution can cater for multiple stock types – on hand, batch on hand, or on order – to give you clear visibility of your product ecosystem relative to your store network.

Solutions aligned to your inventory allocation responsibilities

Full price sales, consistently

If a product is being sent to the right place according to known demand, at the right level, at the right time, there should be very little need to reduce its price. Repeating this best-case scenario across all products suddenly becomes a huge revenue booster.
