Case Study: Fristads AB reduces inventory by SEK 60–70 million with Slimstock

Fristads reduced inventory levels by SEK 60–70 million after a mayor supply chain transformation project

Fristads AB, the Swedish workwear manufacturer, faced major supply chain pressure after COVID, with limited visibility into partner stock and customer demand, plus difficulties managing inventory and delivery times. To improve planning, Fristads partnered with Slimstock and implemented the Slim4 planning platform along with its S&OP capabilities.

Slimstock helped Fristads shift from gut-feel planning and spreadsheets to data-driven forecasting and cross-functional collaboration. The results were strong: inventory levels fell by SEK 60–70 million, excess stock was reduced, and backorders dropped below the 4% target, while availability remained stable.
