Case Study: Brouwland reduces inventory value by 15% and boosts ordering efficiency by 75% with Slimstock’s Slim4

Brouwland reduces inventory value & improves efficiency amidst strong growth

Brouwland, a leading European wholesaler of home-brewing supplies with rapid assortment growth (now over 12,000 SKUs), faced rising inventory value and inefficient ordering as its range and sales expanded. To better manage stock levels, production planning and service levels, Brouwland partnered with Slimstock and implemented the Slim4 inventory optimisation solution.

Slimstock’s Slim4 delivered exception‑based ordering recommendations, improved visibility on key and seasonal items, and optimized production planning, enabling Brouwland to cut stock value by 15% despite assortment growth and make the ordering process up to 75% more efficient (reducing work from two full‑time employees to about half a day for one team member). Slimstock’s solution also freed time to focus on supplier terms, lead times and service‑level improvements, increasing availability and customer satisfaction.
