Case Study: J&S Automotive achieves £1M inventory reduction and 15% higher stock turn with Slimstock's Slim4

J&S set to accelerate growth with help from Slimstock

J&S Automotive Distributors, one of Ireland’s largest aftermarket parts distributors with over 260,000 SKUs and warehouses in Dublin and Cork, faced growing pressure to optimise inventory amid long lead times and volatile demand. Managing stock with complex spreadsheets left the team firefighting, so J&S turned to Slimstock and its Slim4 inventory optimisation solution to boost availability and reduce excess inventory.

Slimstock implemented Slim4, automating planning with management-by-exception and overhauling stocking policies to give purchasing teams greater visibility and control. The result: a £1m reduction in inventory, 7% increase in availability, 15% improvement in stock turn and a 40% reduction in excess stock—improving order processing and delivery reliability while positioning J&S for strategic decisions during uncertain times.
