Case Study: Southgate achieves higher availability and lower inventory with Slimstock

Southgate’s Journey to Supply Chain Excellence

Southgate, a leading European manufacturer and distributor of packaging equipment, was facing rapid growth that tied up too much working capital in stock and made it harder to maintain high availability. To address these supply chain challenges, Southgate partnered with Slimstock and adopted the Slim4 inventory optimisation platform.

With Slimstock’s support, Southgate implemented Slim4 to improve planning, reduce inventory, and raise service levels. The results included a 9% inventory reduction, hitting the 2023 stock target three months early, and an availability increase from 91% to 96%, while also improving efficiency and visibility across the network.
