A benchmark for the logistics sector

Committed to raising the standard of inventory and supply chain knowledge, Slimstock’s vision adds value for customers, ensures national and international growth and provides benefits in the field of sustainability.

According to the jury, Slimstock were awarded this prize due to their innovative approach to inventory optimisation and for setting a benchmark for the logistics sector.

Even in difficult times, such as during the corona pandemic, Slimstock has been able to maintain growth thanks to its focus on customer satisfaction, product innovation, knowledge development and measurable results.

Successor of Coolblue

Slimstock succeeds Coolblue, who received the prize in 2018. CEO, Eric van Dijk reacts to this achievement: “We are of course extremely proud of this award. But I also feel that as winners, we must not only set a good example, we must support the wider supply chain community by finding solutions together and sharing knowledge where possible.”

“Good software alone does not lead to improvement, it also requires training, knowledge and continuous development.” Eric van Dijk, CEO at Slimstock

Knowledge development central to success

Slimstock’s mindset is all about helping each other to continuously improve. Knowledge is therefore central to Slimstock’s success, not software.

Sales & Business Development Manager, Jan Kraaijeveld, adds: “There is always room for improvement. And together, we look for where these opportunities to advance exist. After a while, it is easy to lose focus or perhaps you lack the right knowledge to address the pain points. That’s why when I’m with clients, I always ask why they do things the way they do. If I understand how processes work and how they can be optimised, we can manage the inventory in a smarter way.”
