Case Study: Byways Group achieves 98%+ product availability and streamlined inventory management with Slimstock's Slim4

Byways identify the perfect partner for optimisation

Byways Group, a labelling, RFID and point-of-sale supplier to high‑street fashion retailers and manufacturers, needed to centralise planning across five facilities and optimise inventory to improve product availability while controlling working capital. After reviewing partners, Byways chose Slimstock and its Slim4 inventory optimisation solution to provide better forecasting, masterdata control and planning efficiency.

Slimstock implemented Slim4, working with Byways Group to clean and structure masterdata, deploy advanced forecasting and introduce management‑by‑exception workflows so planners focus only on items that need attention. As a result, availability of key product lines rose to over 98%, forecasting and responsiveness improved, planner efficiency increased, and inventory levels have remained stable under Slimstock’s solution.
