Case Study: Original Gaur achieves 98% service level and cuts obsolete stock with Slimstock's Slim4

Original Gaur provide a 98% service thanks to Slimstock

Original Gaur, a family-run distributor of sanitary, heating and plumbing products in Irun, faced growing obsolete stock, poor forecasting and stock outages that eroded profitability. In September 2004 they chose slimstock as a complement to their AS/400 ERP to gain control over inventory and prevent future obsolescence, implementing slimstock’s Slim4 planning and the CCP and ABC modules.

slimstock’s solution delivered stock reliability (what’s on the system matches the shelves), better service-level decisions and more disciplined procurement—eliminating service failures and keeping stock levels steady while “buying what is sold.” As a result Original Gaur achieved a 98% customer service level, dramatically reduced obsolete stock and short-term supplier debt, recovered capital more quickly and increased procurement efficiency, creating a clear competitive advantage.
