Reduce stockouts through AI-powered supply chain
Target Audience
Industrial manufacturers, production planners, purchasing managers
Challenge
Moreda-Riviere Trefilerías (MRT), a Spanish wire products manufacturer producing nails, mesh, cables, and fencing for construction and agriculture, relied on Excel-based forecasting dependent on individual planner knowledge. The company faced unbalanced inventory — excess stock in some items, recurring stockouts in others — with no synchronization between forecasting, purchasing, and production scheduling.
Solution Approach
MRT implemented Slimstock's Slim4 AI-powered platform in 2024, featuring stock keeping unit-level demand forecasting, automated inventory parameter adjustment, exception management, and dynamic safety stock alerts integrated with production scheduling.
Value Add
The transformation delivered a 31% sustained inventory reduction and 70% reduction in stockouts. MRT freed tied-up capital for strategic investments while shifting from reactive firefighting to proactive, data-driven decision-making. Last-minute order replanning and logistical emergencies became controlled exceptions rather than daily crises.
