Case Study: Overseas Distribution Company achieves 97% service levels with less stock using Slimstock

Overseas Distribution Company optimises inventory management, achieving 97% service levels with less stock

Overseas Distribution Company, a Belgium-based wholesale distributor serving duty-free shops, airports, cruise ships and airlines, was struggling with manual order processes and inventory management that depended heavily on individual operators. To improve demand planning and reduce the risk of stockouts, the company turned to Slimstock and its Slim4 inventory management software.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 to automate ordering, forecast demand more accurately and centrally manage inventory across international warehouses. As a result, Overseas Distribution Company achieved a 97% service level, above its 95% target, while holding less stock and tying up less working capital. The team also reported smoother processes, better visibility and a rapid return on investment with fewer disruptions when staff were unavailable.
