Case Study: Kruitbosch achieves data-driven, responsive supply chain planning with Slimstock's Slim4

Kruitbosch transforms its supply chain with data-driven planning

Kruitbosch, maker of Cortina bicycles and a wholesaler of parts and accessories, faced high demand volatility and an error-prone planning process that relied on time-consuming spreadsheets which frequently crashed. To modernize forecasting and supply chain planning, Kruitbosch adopted Slimstock’s AI-powered Slim4 platform.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 to deliver dynamic forecasting, ABC assortment classification and adaptive supply chain planning from a single data source, automating forecasts and enabling consensus-driven inputs from sales. As a result, Kruitbosch became far more responsive to market conditions, increased planning efficiency, reduced spreadsheet failures and errors, prioritized A-items to avoid seasonal stockouts and limited losses on lower-priority items while improving supplier collaboration.
