What’s the difference between Flowlity and Slimstock (Slim4)?

Slimstock is a well-established vendor known for its Slim4 solution, widely used across Europe for inventory optimization. It offers solid statistical forecasting features, but its approach remains grounded in traditional methods (manual rules, static safety stocks).

Flowlity, by contrast, is a next-generation AI-native solution that differs in several ways:

‍

• AI-driven vs Traditional Logic: Flowlity uses machine learning and probabilistic forecasting to dynamically adjust forecasts and stock levels, reducing manual effort.

• Broader Functional Coverage: While Slim4 focuses mainly on demand forecasting and stock optimization, Flowlity also supports supplier collaboration, production planning, and S&OP integration.

• Cloud and Collaboration Native: Flowlity is built for real-time, multi-stakeholder collaboration in the cloud, allowing suppliers or remote warehouses to interact directly.

• Modern UX & Fast Deployment: Flowlity provides a user-friendly interface designed for today’s planners, with rapid deployment in just a few weeks.

In short: Slim4 is proven for traditional approaches, but Flowlity offers a more innovative, automated, and collaborative experience for digitally mature organizations.
