Case Study: Petroautos frees DC space and boosts service levels to 96% with Slimstock's Slim4

Petroautos - Customer Case study

Petroautos, the sole representative of Hyundai in Panama, faced chronic distribution-centre space constraints after sales doubled and the new DC—though three times larger—threatened to run out of room within five years. To gain more accurate sales forecasts and a better inventory strategy, Petroautos engaged Slimstock to deploy its Slim4 supply chain optimisation solution.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 in a four-month rollout with hands-on training and close collaboration, establishing a dedicated key-user at Petroautos. As a result of Slimstock’s solution, Petroautos reduced inventory by 21.5% in nine months, cut stock-outs and excess by 50%, raised service levels to 96%, freed up DC space for productive inventory, and achieved ROI within the first year.
