Case Study: Wilmink Engine Parts increases availability and growth with Slimstock

Wilmink Engine Parts strengthens competitive position with Slim4

Wilmink Engine Parts, a Netherlands-based wholesale specialist in internal combustion engine parts, was struggling to keep stock availability under control amid erratic demand, frequent shortages, rising prices, and a rapidly expanding product range. With growth ambitions increasing the pressure on purchasing, the company needed a better way to plan inventory than its ERP system could provide.

Slimstock implemented its Slim4 supply planning software to help Wilmink Engine Parts manage inventory more strategically. Using ABC analyses, scenario planning, and better control of interchangeable parts and price increases, Slim4 helped the company increase availability by 10%, improve purchasing efficiency, and better anticipate supplier price changes, supporting stronger turnover and profit growth.
