A Slimstock Case Study
Moonen Packaging, an international outsourcing specialist managing packaging, office supplies and other consumables from a range of over 10,000 products (about 6,000 stocked in Weert), was losing control of inventory as sales and assortment grew, leading to rising backorders and costly, time-consuming stock management. To address this they chose Slim4, the stock optimisation system from Slimstock.
Slimstock implemented Slim4 to model multiple variables, spot trends and seasonality, and automatically highlight items needing attention; this gave Moonen clearer control with less manual effort. The results were measurable: backorders fell by over 95%, reliability climbed to 98.5% (2012), inventory turnover rose 20%, turnover increased by almost €10 million, and customer satisfaction improved by an average of 8.7 points.
