Case Study: Elis cuts inventory by £2M and boosts stock turn 35% with Slimstock’s Slim4

Elis drive stock & service optimisation with Slim4

Elis, a 100‑year‑old textile, laundry and hygiene services provider, needed to boost supply‑chain efficiency and improve forecasting across its expanded global operation following the acquisition of Berendsen. To manage increased complexity and high inventory levels, Elis turned to Slimstock and its Slim4 inventory optimisation solution.

Slimstock re‑implemented Slim4 (including the Slim4 Web Client) across Elis’s UK and Denmark operations to enable transaction‑driven forecasting, standardized planning workflows and real‑time KPI visibility. As a result, Elis reduced inventory by over £2m, improved stock turn by 35% and raised service levels, with Slimstock’s solution now being rolled out to additional European markets.
