Brilliant AG Customer Story

Brilliant AG, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of indoor and outdoor lighting, has implemented Slimstock’s supply chain planning platform to optimize its inventory and procurement processes. This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and achieve cost savings. The company, based in Gnarrenburg, Lower Saxony, now enjoys more resilient processes and improved responsiveness. This advantage is crucial not only for navigating supply uncertainties during crises but also for preparing Brilliant to tackle the challenges and volatility of the lighting industry.
By creating greater visbility, Brilliant AG has reduced working capital invested in stock by 25% while maintaining industry-leading availability standards.

“We wanted to bring expert knowledge in-house. It was therefore a logical decision to join forces with Slimstock, a company with a proven track record in supply chain planning,” says the Prof Dr Bartelt, Chief Operating Officer at Brilliant AG.

The company introduced Slimstock’s platform as standard, as the functions already cover many of the existing requirements and at the same time form a strong foundation for sustainable progress.

Prof Dr Bartelt  explains: “Thanks to the winning combination of Slimstock’s platform, our understanding of processes, and my team’s high level of commitment and willingness to learn, we can now make all decisions relating to inventory management and procurement with the help of statistical calculations and facts.”

The platform also scores highly in terms of transparency and user-friendliness. In combination with the comprehensive expertise of the Brilliant AG planning team, the changeover to Slimstock went smoothly and the software was up and running after just two months. Furthermore, Slimstock’s management by exception approach helps to significantly increase efficiency by automating the planning workload.

Potential for the future

Against this background, Brilliant AG also sees great potential for future collaboration with Slimstock and is convinced that it will be able to achieve further optimisation goals.

Among other things, the company wants to further increase stock turnover and streamline the entire supply chain in the direction of just-in-time. Other measures to reduce stock levels are also on the agenda. Slimstock supports Brilliant not only with the right software tools, but also with ongoing advice on optimising procurement processes.
