Case Study: Robert Welch achieves over 20% stock reduction with Slimstock's Slim4

Robert Welch reduce stock by over 20%

Robert Welch, a family-run design and manufacturing business in Chipping Camden, faced growing pains from an expanding product range and highly variable customer demand (seasonal retail, intermittent hospitality and sudden large orders) that forced them to hold excessive inventory. To tackle this challenge they partnered with Slimstock and deployed the inventory management and forecasting tool Slim4 to gain better demand visibility and move away from “pure guesswork.”

Slimstock’s Slim4 was implemented quickly and gave Robert Welch clear forecast visibility and integrated stock management, letting planners analyse historic demand, set robust replenishment plans and manage by exception. The result: more control of supply operations, reduced planner workload and a stock reduction of over 20%, plus better collaboration as forecasts are now shared with account managers and key customers.
