Case Study: Inventum achieves lower inventory and more efficient purchasing with Slimstock

Inventum reinforces sustainability goals with 50% stock reduction

Inventum, the Dutch household appliances supplier behind brands such as Inventum, Tomado, and Carmen, faced the challenge of managing a broad product portfolio, long lead times from suppliers, and inventory swings caused by shifting demand. To improve purchasing control and support its sustainability goals, Inventum adopted Slimstock’s supply chain platform, Slim4.

With Slimstock, Inventum replaced gut-feel ordering with data-driven planning, improved visibility into lead times, and streamlined purchasing decisions across teams. The results were significant: stock value was cut by 50%, freeing up millions in working capital, and turnover increased from 1.5 to nearly 4.5. Meetings also became much shorter and more productive, helping Inventum save time and money while better controlling inventory.
