Logistics service provider DSV has signed a partner agreement with software provider Slimstock. This makes inventory optimisation an integral part of DSV's services.
DSV has been working with a team of inventory specialists on supply chain optimisation for clients for thirteen years. Slimstock's software will support them in this in the future. Together, the companies have developed a quick scan that provides insight into customers' improvement potential.
"Customers today expect more from us than just warehousing, order fulfilment and distribution. They need a logistics partner that takes responsibility for the entire supply chain, including optimising inventory levels," says Meinderdjan Botman, Chief Commercial Officer at DSV Solutions.
DSV's first customer to use Slimstock's software is a car dealer organisation in South Africa, specialising in brands such as Hyundai, Opel, Isuzu, Renault, Suzuki and Volkswagen. The company has already outsourced its logistics operation to DSV and in a pilot project DSV will now also manage and optimise its stock, using Slimstock's software.
