Case Study: VDL Parts achieves 10% higher inventory turnover with Slimstock's Slim4

VDL Parts boosts inventory turnover by 10% with Slimstock

VDL Parts, part of the VDL Group, is a European automotive spare parts specialist managing over 35,000 SKUs. Their challenge was managing highly irregular demand while ensuring strict service levels, relying on manual Excel and SAP processes that led to excessive stock and a lack of overall inventory control. To address this, they turned to the vendor Slimstock to implement its Slim4 supply chain platform.

By implementing Slimstock's Slim4 platform, VDL Parts gained clear product categorization and automated, daily item evaluation. This shifted their management from operational to strategic. The results were significant, including a 10% increase in inventory turnover within just nine months, achieved while maintaining service levels and reducing inventory value. Slimstock also provided a scalable solution that integrates across different sister companies and ERP systems.
