Case Study: Sappi achieves higher stock availability and service levels with Slimstock

Sappi Aligns Processes and Slim4 for Optimal Success

Sappi, a leading European paper manufacturer, faced growing supply chain pressure from shifting demand, complex specialty paper orders, and the need to keep thousands of SKUs available for fast delivery. To improve inventory management and planning, Sappi partnered with Slimstock and implemented Slim4, Slimstock’s supply chain planning platform.

Slimstock helped Sappi tailor Slim4 to its operations, improving forecast accuracy, lead-time calculations, and stock planning across mills and warehouses. As a result, Sappi reduced firefighting, improved stock availability and turnover, and achieved service levels of at least 98%, while lead times became more accurate and automatic exception handling made planning more efficient.
