Artica pursues explosive growth with supply chain transformation

Artica, an e-commerce trailblazer, has embarked on a major supply chain transformation in collaboration with Slimstock. By leveraging Slimstock’s AI-powered supply chain planning technology, Artica will centralise its operation, enhancing efficiency and elevating service levels.

Established in North America, Artica was born out of the vision of two successful entrepreneurs. Combining machine learning with human experience, the founders developed a model to identify fast-moving e-commerce products poised for rapid growth.

Today, the business boasts mid-eight-figure revenues and continues to grow with ten warehouses and hundreds of SKUs, many of which have achieved the coveted “Amazon Best Seller” status.

With ambitious expansion plans, the business recognises the need for a sophisticated supply chain planning solution. Following an extensive review of potential vendors, the e-commerce specialist opted for Slimstock’s supply chain planning platform.

Slimstock’s deep e-commerce expertise and strong consultancy support were pivotal factors in Artica’s decision.

Leveraging Slimstock’s cutting-edge forecasting and planning capabilities, Artica will establish a robust centralised supply chain function, underpinning its accelerated growth through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

Josh Bultz, President at Artica, adds: “As part of the transformation initiative, we will work closely with Slimstock to capture our people’s knowledge and expertise in the system, future-proofing our operation as the business expands.”

Adopting Slimstock’s platform will help Artica reduce variance in forecasted demand versus actual sales, enabling inventory buys that align with demand and reduce stock overages and outages. Furthermore, the business will replace its manual bottom-up forecasting process with a more automated approach leveraging advanced algorithms to reduce human errors, inefficiencies and create time savings.

By enhancing Artica’s existing IT infrastructure, Slimstock’s solution will empower the e-commerce solution provider to:

• Unify planning and Improve collaboration throughout the end-to-end supply chain
• Support continued expansion without increasing headcount
• Boost sales via improved availability across its top product lines

Josh Bultz, President at Artica, concludes, “Our goal is to elevate service levels to deliver a better customer experience while creating value for our partners. By joining forces with Slimstock, we have the right partner to create a more capable supply chain.”
