Case Study: HydroGarden cuts inventory from £7M to £4.5M while growing sales with Slimstock (Slim4)

Hydrogarden flourishes following supply chain success

HydroGarden, the UK’s leading hydroponic equipment supplier, was struggling with growing supply-chain complexity and limited visibility that threatened service levels as the business scaled. To improve forecasting, demand planning and overall inventory control, HydroGarden partnered with Slimstock and implemented Slimstock’s Slim4 inventory optimisation platform.

Using Slimstock’s Slim4, HydroGarden gained clear KPI visibility and an intuitive dashboard for faster, data-driven decisions, enabling the team to replan shipments during the COVID container crisis and optimise stock mix. The outcome: inventory value fell from £7m to £4.5m within a year while sales grew, improving cashflow and allowing staff to focus on supplier MOQs, lead-time improvements and upskilling through Slimstock’s academy.
