Case Study: Nisa achieves highest product availability and supply chain resilience with Slimstock's Slim4

Nisa strengthen product availability with Slimstock

Nisa, a buying group serving around 4,000 independent stores and 1,400 partners across the UK, faced rising assortment complexity, volatile demand streams and the need to automate inventory processes to improve availability and reduce costs. To address this, Nisa partnered with Slimstock and implemented Slimstock’s inventory optimisation solution, Slim4, to better manage demand volatility and streamline replenishment.

Slimstock implemented Slim4, fine‑tuned to Nisa’s operating complexities, enabling automated truck‑fill planning, rapid parameter changes across SKUs and clearer demand visibility across retail, bulk and pre‑sale streams. As a result, availability levels rose to their highest in over five years, the team saved significant planning time, risk of stock‑outs was materially reduced and Nisa gained the agility to respond to spikes of more than 400% in demand for some items.
