Case Study: Global Wine Operations achieves data-driven supply chain efficiency with Slimstock

Global Wine Operations enhances supply chain efficiency through data-driven planning

Global Wine Operations, one of the largest wine suppliers in the Netherlands, needed a better way to manage more than ten million bottles of stock across 5,000 wine SKUs and 400 suppliers. Its manual, Excel-heavy planning process depended heavily on individual buyers’ expertise, making the business vulnerable to staff turnover and making it difficult to keep inventory low while maintaining service levels.

Slimstock implemented its Slim4 supply planning platform to automate promotion planning, calculate optimal order quantities, and improve visibility across seasonal patterns, trends, and workloads. As a result, Global Wine Operations says planning is now far more efficient, buyers can focus on higher-value analysis, and the company has improved productivity, reduced dependence on staff, and gained a more balanced workload distribution.
