Case Study: Bidfood achieves improved service levels and reduced waste with Slimstock

Bidfood recognizes Slimstock as ‘New Supplier of the year’

Bidfood, one of the UK’s leading foodservice providers, was facing the challenge of managing a highly complex supply chain across 31 depots, 250,000+ SKUs, and 40,000 customers while improving availability, reducing waste, and responding to market volatility. To address this, Bidfood turned to Slimstock and its supply chain planning platform, Slim4, to strengthen planning and support service levels.

Slimstock implemented a future-proof planning platform that consolidated supply chain data, improved visibility, and helped Bidfood’s team make better decisions across stock, service, and collaboration with commercial teams. The results included a £6 million reduction in stock value from £115 million, a 60% reduction in stock write-offs, improved working capital, and better service levels. Bidfood said the impact of Slimstock was “immeasurable” and named Slimstock its “Supplier of the Year.”
