Scenario planning software that drives results

Benefits to help you capitalise on every opportunity, and prepare for every challenge

Elevate service levels with surety

Slim4 enables you to simulate the impact of service level changes on metrics such as buffer stock, average stock, days on hand, lost sales, order levels, and much more. Compare current service levels against targets, to adapt for fast improvements.

Modify simulations for timing insights

Slim4 scenario planning’s simulations allow you to see the impact of changing your cover period. Configure settings for specific items and see how they impact buffer stock, average stock, days on hand, and order levels in different unit measures.

Optimise stock policy

Analyse and optimise assortment based on set rules through the scenario planning software. By adjusting rules, assortment scenarios allow you to analyse the impacts on stock value across your channels and hubs.

Refine EOQ calculations

Analyse optimal economic order quantity (EOQ) based on your own specific rules and limitations. Slim4 shows whether EOQ should be used and how the limits of an EOQ would affect calculations.

Enhance ABC classifications

Conduct multiple scenario analysis on ABC classifications for items, customers, and suppliers. Base each analysis on different setups to understand the full impact of changing hierarchal priorities.

Take the initiative for flexible planning

Through the S&OP hierarchy level in Slim4, different initiatives can be set up. Understand how expanding to a new region or opening a new store will impact all operations and finances, through comprehensive scenario simulations and ‘what-if’ comparisons.

KEY FEATURES OF SLIM4 SCENARIO PLANNING TOOL

Simulate, compare, optimise

Simulate the impact of changing cover periods

You can take time through Slim4’s scenario planning function. Know how two days of inbound time affects the extent of inventory you need to hold across warehouses and stores to ensure consistent availability.

Manage assortment optimally

Network balancing can be optimised through effective scenario planning. Slim4 lets you know where items should be located across warehouses, stores, or perhaps they shouldn’t be stocked at all. Advanced stock policy relies on clear insight and best-case decision-making.

Be agile with prioritisation

Multiple scenario analysis through the Slim4 platform optimises ABC classifications. Know the impacts of making any product an ‘A-item’ to maximise every sales opportunity relative to real-time demand.

Strive for new service level performance

Simulate the impact of changing your service levels relative to buffer stock, average stock, days on hand, lost sales, order levels, and order lines. Gain insight into your current weighted service level against real-time targets, and potential future scaling.

Solutions aligned to your scenario planning responsibilities

The right decision, every time

By seeing what might happen through multiple lenses and scenarios, you will be better placed to make the right decision for your business across multiple time horizons.
