Case Study: Bouwmaat achieves 60% fewer deliveries and higher availability with Slimstock

Supply Chain Collaboration Pays Off For Bouwmaat

Bouwmaat, a Netherlands-based building materials wholesaler with 47 branches, needed to improve stock availability while reducing the complexity and cost of its supply chain. Using Slimstock’s Slim4 platform, the company sought better visibility into demand, inventory, and supplier performance to avoid stockouts, overstocking, and inefficient branch deliveries.

Slimstock helped Bouwmaat centralize its supply chain with a distribution center and share real-time sales, forecast, and inventory data across suppliers and logistics partners. The results were significant: Bouwmaat cut branch deliveries by 60% (removing 120,000 of 200,000 deliveries), saved time and money, improved supplier delivery performance, and achieved a 99.0% service level while increasing availability.
