Case Study: Farmacias Chávez reduces inventory by 50% and boosts sales with Slimstock

Farmacias Chávez reduces inventory by 50% with Slimstock

Farmacias Chávez, a leading pharmacy chain in Bolivia, faced operational challenges due to its rapid growth. Its manual, Excel-based planning processes were inefficient and could not support the strategic goal of ensuring timely access to medicines across its 110+ branches. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Slimstock and implemented its supply chain planning platform, Slim4, as part of its broader "Perfect Store" transformation initiative.

By implementing Slimstock's Slim4 solution, Farmacias Chávez automated its forecasting and replenishment processes. This allowed for more strategic, data-driven decision-making and aligned key business areas through an S&OP committee. The results were significant, including a 50% reduction in inventory and a 7-8% improvement in sales. Slimstock's solution also freed up working capital and dramatically improved operational efficiency, reducing a 10-day manual process to just 7 hours.
