Case Study: Continental Candy Industries achieves improved sales–supply chain alignment and 5% service-level gain with Slimstock Slim4

Candy Continental Industries Improves Alignment Between Sales and Supply Chain

Continental Candy Industries (CCI), a private-label confectionery manufacturer of liquorice and wine gums, needed to improve forecasting and better align sales, production and purchasing to reduce waste and boost production capacity utilisation. To address these challenges CCI turned to Slimstock and its Slim4 supply chain planning platform to bring robust demand insights and a single source of truth across the business.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 as a central data source with adaptive forecasting, automated purchasing and production advice, and support from Slimstock experts to ensure fast adoption. The solution improved collaboration between sales and supply chain, raised availability and service levels (factory in Hoorn saw a 5% service‑level increase), and helped prevent waste by making procurement and production decisions more reliable.
