What do you like best about Slim4?

The power of Slimstock lies in its advanced forecasting algorithms, with which we can now accurately predict customer demand, allowing us to optimize inventory levels and minimize the risk of stockouts. This has not only improved our order fulfilment rates but also enhanced customer satisfaction as we meet their expectations at a much higher rate than previously.

Slimstock has been a catalyst for our supply chain transformation at Parfym.se. Its powerful features and capabilities have empowered us to achieve optimal efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slim4?

Nothing really that didn´t meet our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slim4 solving and how is that benefiting you?

At Parfym.se, we have experienced firsthand the remarkable impact of Slimstock. Taking the leap away from our many legacy systems and manual processes, Slimstock has transformed our operations and propelled us towards supply chain excellence. Due to increased business complexity and profitability requirements, keeping our legacy systems was no longer an option. We looked for a supply planning platform with a comprehensive suite of advanced planning and optimization features to modernize our inventory management and demand forecasting approach.

Slimstock's inventory optimization capabilities have been a game-changer for us as we distribute over 15.000+ SKUs from 70+ suppliers. By considering various factors such as lead times, supplier performance, promotions, and seasonal fluctuations, we can now determine the optimal inventory levels for each product. This has enabled us to reduce our carrying costs while gradually increasing our service levels. Slimstock's automated replenishment tools and exception management have revolutionized our processes, enabling us to generate accurate and optimized purchase orders (via EOQs, order fill functionalities, etc.). This has eliminated excess inventory and reduced stockouts, allowing us to operate with optimal efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Slim4?

Slimstock has been a great partner, providing us with a lot of support throughout the system implementation and in the day-to-day operation of the tool. Slimstock has allowed us to manage a large number of SKUs that have quite complex bills of materials.

We have been able to customize and adjust the solution as we have needed, which has optimized our work and increased our efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slim4?

So far, we have not found any problems with the system and it has met all our expectations. It is easy to use and has adapted perfectly to our company's needs. Overall, I recommend Slimstock as an excellent software tool for any company looking for an efficient inventory management and optimization solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slim4 solving and how is that benefiting you?

In general, Slimstock is a quite comprehensive tool as it provides automatic and dynamic demand forecasts for raw materials and finished products by product and location. It alerts us whenever a SKU needs to be purchased or produced, alerts us which SKUs need to be attended to with more urgency, or when an advance request for some material needs to be made. It also indicates which SKUs have excess stock and has alerts for when there are sudden changes in demand and therefore in the forecast.

Slimstock also features exception management to organize daily tasks for Ser Licorera (Flor de Caña) users without Excel spreadsheets and reduce planning time by 30-40%, all on the same screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Slim4?

Thanks to Slim4, we have managed to centralize our purchasing process, which has led to reduced overall time spent on purchasing, while increasing our service level to customers by several percentage points while keeping our stock levels low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slim4?

Slim4 is an advanced software with sophisticated models, which requires a certain level of focus from the purchaser. This is not a negative, but is important to keep in mind when opting to purchase a software like this, to get the wanted results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slim4 solving and how is that benefiting you?

An intuitive interface that is easy to learn has made it possible for our purchasing personel to optimize their time spent, while also gaining several tools which help minimize transportation costs related to supplier requirements. A granular service level model based on different classifications has also led to higher precision in our service level offering to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really can not complain too much; even when we have had technical problems, the fixes were fast and had little to no downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Slim4?

I really like the management of tasks and alerts that allow us to focus on the work that really matters. It is very good with flexibility and configurations. The audits that allow us to understand and justify everything we did in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slim4?

I would need more updated tutorials. Many new things come out and I don't have time to learn about them and know how to use them correctly. There is no manual that I can use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slim4 solving and how is that benefiting you?

The classification of the assortment is something we had not developed, with SLIM the 3 classifications of forecasts, purchases, and demand classification help us a lot to obtain a clearer forecast of the behavior of each item. This allows us to adjust our stock levels according to their future behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slim4 solving and how is that benefiting you?

SLIM4 helps us a lot in not having excess stock, especially with type C references, which are much more difficult to control. We use the purchase forecast a lot to make our purchasing budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
