Case Study: Ideal Bathrooms stabilises inventory and improves forecasting amid rapid growth with Slimstock's Slim4

Ideal Bathrooms Stabilises Inventory Levels amidst Rapid Growth

Ideal Bathrooms, the UK distributor and Saint‑Gobain subsidiary, faced double‑digit growth that made it difficult to maintain service levels across more than 20,000 SKUs and continue its next‑day delivery promise. To stabilise inventory and increase planning efficiency they turned to Slimstock and its Slim4 inventory management solution.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 to give Ideal Bathrooms full assortment visibility, category‑specific purchasing strategies, better demand forecasts that capture trends and seasonality, and order‑book tools to monitor supplier performance. The result is clearer prioritisation of SKUs, faster exception handling, improved forecast accuracy and measurable time savings in planning — an implementation Nick Brown describes as “a huge success.”
