Case Study: Global Wine Operations boosts supply chain efficiency with Slimstock Slim4

Global Wine Operations boosts planning productivity in 6 months with Slimstock

Global Wine Operations, a large wine supplier and logistics service provider in the Netherlands, faced challenges managing inventory for 5,000 different wines. Their manual, Excel-dependent process was time-consuming and heavily reliant on the expertise of individual buyers, making them vulnerable to staff turnover. To create a more efficient and data-driven planning process, they partnered with supply chain planning vendor Slimstock to implement its Slim4 platform.

By implementing Slimstock's Slim4 solution, Global Wine Operations automated key processes like promotion and seasonal planning, which saved significant time. The platform calculates optimal order quantities and provides visibility into workload distribution. Results include a far more efficient planning process, reduced emotional debates over stock issues, and the ability for buyers to focus on higher-value analysis. The investment is expected to pay for itself quickly through efficiency gains, preventing the need for additional hires as the company grows.
