A Slimstock Case Study
Wilmink Engine Parts, a specialist in internal combustion engine parts, faced challenges in managing its complex inventory of over a million items. With unpredictable, erratic demand and difficulties anticipating price increases, their existing ERP system became unmanageable, threatening their growth ambitions and competitive position. To address this, they implemented the Slim4 supply planning software from vendor Slimstock.
Slimstock's Slim4 solution provided Wilmink with the tools to perform ABC analyses, calculate ordering scenarios, and better anticipate supplier price changes. This allowed for more efficient and targeted purchasing. As a result, Wilmink increased its product availability by 10% and substantially increased both turnover and profit, strengthening its competitive position in a disruptive market.
