Slimstock, a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning, commerce management, and agentic data management, today announced a strategic partnership with Thomax, an established leader in Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS).

Covering Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), this alliance bridges the critical gap between upstream inventory planning and downstream fulfillment.

While the collaboration commences in ANZ, both organisations are actively exploring joint expansion across key international markets where Thomax currently operates, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and Asia.

As modern businesses navigate persistent supply chain volatility, omnichannel complexity, and rising logistics costs, operational resilience demands tighter alignment between planning and physical execution.

By joining forces, Slimstock and Thomax eliminate operational silos across e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL), wholesale distribution, and omnichannel retail, enabling organizations to connect strategy with execution in real time.

Bridging planning intelligence with execution excellence

Slimstock’s flagship platform, Slim4, equips planning teams with automated forecasting, machine-learning-driven replenishment, multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO), and Integrated Business Planning (IBP).

Thomax complements this planning intelligence with robust, execution-level warehouse and transport capabilities engineered for rapid order fulfillment, streamlined logistics, and superior customer experience.

Together, the two platforms provide a connected data and operational backbone that translates optimised inventory forecasts into precise, on-the-ground warehouse flow and transport routing.

“Many businesses have made significant strides in inventory planning, but sustained supply chain performance ultimately hinges on warehouse execution and delivery reliability,” said Sheeba Lamba, Regional Partner Manager at Slimstock ANZ.

“By combining Slimstock’s inventory optimization expertise with Thomax’s WMS and TMS capabilities, we are giving our clients the tools to connect planning directly to the warehouse floor,”

“Thomax’s proven track record across 3PL, wholesale, and retail makes them the natural fit to co-deliver smarter, more resilient, and highly synchronized supply chains across ANZ and beyond.” Lamba said.

“Our priority at Thomax has always been to help organizations achieve faster fulfillment, lower logistics friction, and elevate the customer experience,” said Thomas Jackson, Founder & Managing Director of Thomax.

“Partnering with Slimstock brings AI-driven inventory intelligence directly upstream from our warehouse and transport management workflows,” said Jackson

“This collaboration ensures our customers not only pick, pack, and ship efficiently, but also ensure the right stock is in the right location well before the order drops. We are thrilled to partner with Slimstock to drive end-to-end supply chain transformation.” he said.

Key value drivers for enterprises:

• Connected plan-to-execute workflows: Unifies upstream demand and replenishment planning with day-to-day warehouse operations and freight distribution, eliminating data blind spots.
  
  
• Maximised stock availability: Aligns dynamic buffer stock and safety stock targets with actual physical handling capacity, minimizing out-of-stocks and overstocking.
  
  
• Optimised fulfillment & working capital: Frees up trapped capital in redundant inventory while cutting fulfillment delays and freight inefficiencies across multi-tier networks.
  
  
• Accelerated time-to-value: Standardized interoperability tailored for 3PLs, distributors, and omnichannel retailers seeking rapid deployment without extensive custom development.
