Case Study: Sonepar achieves improved inventory optimisation and process efficiency with Slimstock

Sonepar Successfully Rolls Out Slim4 and SAP in Parallel

Sonepar Deutschland GmbH, a leading electrical wholesaler, needed to improve supply chain planning and inventory management while also rolling out a new SAP S/4HANA ERP system. Using Slimstock’s Slim4 solution, the company tackled the challenge of introducing both systems in parallel across its central warehouses.

Slimstock implemented Slim4 in phases, supported by on-site teams to ensure a smooth go-live and rapid adoption. The results were visible within weeks: excess stock began to decline, processes became more efficient, and employees gained clearer, faster access to supply chain information. Sonepar has already expanded the rollout beyond the first warehouses and plans to extend Slim4 further across its German branch network.
