Quantore case study

Quantore took the strategic decision to partner with inventory experts, Slimstock. They will be implementing Slimstocks inventory optimisation solution, Slim4. Slimstock were the inventory partners who would be able to help Quantore increase their efficiency within the business.

“We wanted better sales forecasts for stock management, but our ERP did not offer enough support to achieve this,” acknowledges Logistics Manager Gert Bos. In their search for a good solution, it turned out that Slimstock was the only one that could meet their needs. “Slimstock has a unique product that, unlike most ERP systems, is really dynamic. The system not only helps you think, it also thinks for you. And this of course saves a lot of time, which in turn results in higher quality ”.

Quantore has an advanced and automated logistics centre with an area of ​​more than 11,000 square meters. Around 350 pallets, 1,000 boxes, 400 shipments and 11,000 order lines are processed daily. “In practice it is impossible to manage the stock manually. The reality is that you should only have to review the expections and this is exactly what Slimstock does, an exception management ”, explains Bos.

The Quantore Logistics Manager is very enthusiastic about the advanced features of the system. “They are really very good, and also the system is very easy and intuitive for users. It does not require high preparation or training to use it. Our employees learned it in a short time, ”he says.

According to Ger Bos, in the first quarter after the implementation of Slim4, stock decreased by 15%, while the service level improved significantly. Due to the decline in purchases, some vendors asked if Quantore was doing well financially. “Very good”, Gert Bos emphasizes.

Also, the availability of items B and C were finally at the desired level. “This was precisely the goal, because we wanted a lower cost of stock and a better level of service for our customers,” says the Logistics Manager.
