Case Study: Autonet achieves 7% availability increase and greater inventory control with Slimstock's Slim4

Autonet Increases Availability by 7% Amidst Accelerated Growth

AUTONET, the largest auto-parts supplier in Romania serving customers in Romania, Hungary and Slovenia through 5 distribution centers and 70+ regional warehouses, faced rapid assortment and network growth that made inventory control and service levels harder to maintain across more than 1,000,000 unique articles (160,000+ delivered from stock). To address the need for an agile, location-specific inventory strategy, AUTONET chose Slimstock’s inventory management solution, Slim4.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 across all AUTONET locations, integrating business rules with AX ERP and using a management-by-exception approach to give planners clear visibility and forecasts. The results included a 7% increase in availability, a return on investment within the first year, a 50% rise in new product/location combinations handled, and measurable gains in efficiency, control and reduced stockout risk.
