Case Study: Boshart Industries achieves 10% inventory reduction with Slimstock

Boshart Industries Reduces Inventory by 10% With the Help of Slimstock

BOSHART INDUSTRIES, a master distributor of PVF operating from three distribution centres across Canada and the US, needed to modernize its demand planning and reduce working capital tied up in stock while removing labour‑intensive, intuition‑based forecasting and purchasing processes. To address these challenges, BOSHART engaged Slimstock to implement an inventory optimisation and forecasting solution.

Slimstock deployed Slim4 (forecasting, order‑generation and Power BI integration), aligned the software to BOSHART’s supply‑chain rules, automated manual tasks and delivered training via Slimstock Academy. The work enabled rapid user adoption and data‑driven decisions, resulting in a 10% reduction in inventory, improved fill rates, lower obsolescence and measurable reductions in capital invested in stock.
