Case Study: Unnefar achieves higher product availability and lower inventory costs with Slimstock's Slim4

Unnefar increase product availability thanks to optimised procurement management

Unnefar, the third-largest pharmaceutical distributor in Spain serving 4,100 pharmacies through 10 partner companies, faced fragmented systems and the risk of lost margin from stock-outs and procurement inefficiencies. To achieve better product availability and coordinated decision-making across its network, Unnefar chose slimstock and its Slim4 inventory optimisation solution to replace each partner’s disparate systems.

Using slimstock’s Slim4—with EOQ-driven purchasing, Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) for inter-branch transfers, automated order calculation, and dynamic ABC-based service levels—Unnefar increased product availability and service levels while keeping stock under control and minimizing supply chain costs. The rollout reduced ordering time, lowered the risk of lost margin even during price drops, freed staff from repetitive forecasting work, and positioned the cooperative to integrate all partner warehouses into a single Slim4 environment for further gains.
