In today’s fast-paced world, a business’s success often comes down to its ability to adapt and transform its supply chain. National Tiles exemplifies how embracing change can lead to remarkable growth and efficiency. Embarking on a transformative journey that has since revolutionised their operations and set a new benchmark in the industry.
Before their transformation, National Tiles faced significant challenges, including fragmented systems that led to inconsistent data and difficulties in aligning supply with demand. Serving a broad range of clients only added to the complexity of its planning process.
“We go to great lengths to ensure our customers receive reliable and rapid delivery of their orders. However, without the right data-driven insights, high excess stock levels and costly internal stock transfers were a constant battle,” says Brian Smith, General Manager – Transformation.
Recognising the need for change, National Tiles turned to Slimstock for its supply chain expertise and solutions.
The implementation of Slimstock’s technology marked a major turning point. With sophisticated forecasting and inventory optimisation tools, National Tiles gained exceptional visibility into its supply chain. This transformation allowed it to:
- Improve availability throughout the network
