Case Study: Sephora achieves 99% in-store availability and 25% supply chain cost reduction with Slimstock's Slim4

Sephora evolves with Slim4 to sustain growth in the region

Sephora, the French perfume and cosmetics retailer with 2,300 stores in 33 countries, faced rapid growth in the UAE and a sharp increase in SKU-per-store combinations. The business needed to raise in-store availability to 99% while cutting supply chain costs by 25%, so Sephora selected Slimstock’s Slim4 inventory optimisation solution to address these challenges.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 to automate demand profiling, initial allocations and daily adjustments, preventing over‑supply and reducing rush orders. The result: higher store availability with projected supply chain cost reductions of up to 25%, and much faster planning—tasks that previously required a team of eight can now be done in a few clicks—enabling quicker store rollouts and more efficient use of resources.
