Case Study: Smart Garden Products achieves 97%+ service levels and better seasonal planning with Slimstock

Smart Garden Products cherry-picks Slimstock to help their businss bloom

Smart Garden Products (SGP), the UK’s leading solar garden lighting and décor supplier with over 400% growth in five years, faced intense seasonality and a manual, spreadsheet-based forecasting process that threatened stock-outs and constrained growth. To tackle these challenges they partnered with inventory experts Slimstock and implemented Slimstock’s Slim4 inventory optimisation solution.

Slimstock configured Slim4 to automate planning, apply appropriate forecasting algorithms and seasonal profiles, and use ABC-based assortment prioritisation so SGP could prepare for peaks and focus investment on high-value SKUs. The result: availability across key product lines now exceeds 97%, inventory has been stabilised despite rising turnover, and Smart Garden Products is rolling out the latest Slim4 release to drive further operational efficiencies.
