Case Study: Tile Group Netherlands achieves 15% inventory reduction and higher service levels with Slimstock's Slim4

Inventory optimisation delivers space and better availability at Tile Group Netherlands

Tile Group Netherlands, the market-leading tile supplier with six outlet brands and some 4,500 SKUs, faced rapid growth that doubled turnover since 2001 and drove inventory and warehouse utilization to critical levels (98% usage). To reduce working capital, improve service and avoid costly expansion of its 14,000 m2 site, Tile Group Netherlands selected Slimstock’s inventory optimisation solution Slim4.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 with ongoing support and best-practice inventory processes; within six months Tile Group Netherlands cut inventory by 15% and lifted service levels from 94.5% to 97.5%. The Slimstock deployment freed warehouse capacity (postponing expansion), improved cash flow, and delivered measurable operational gains while creating further upside as the company shifts focus to increasing service levels.
