Case Study: Sonepar Deutschland boosts inventory optimisation and process efficiency with Slimstock Slim4

Sonepar Deutschland rolls out Slim4 in 4 weeks with Slimstock

Sonepar Deutschland GmbH, part of the global Sonepar Group, faced the challenge of optimizing its supply chain and inventory management while simultaneously implementing a new SAP S/4HANA ERP system. The electrical wholesaler turned to vendor Slimstock and its Slim4 platform to manage this complex parallel rollout across its central warehouses, aiming to improve data availability and transition from manual to system-controlled processes.*

Slimstock implemented its Slim4 solution in a phased model, beginning with a central warehouse and expanding rapidly to others, often going live on the same day as the new SAP system. The vendor provided crucial on-site support for this parallel implementation. Results were seen quickly, including a reduction in excess stock and significant process improvements, allowing employees to work more efficiently. Following this success, Sonepar Deutschland plans to expand the use of Slim4 to all its central warehouses and branches across Germany.
