MCB is a leading Dutch metal wholesale trade company with head office in Valkenswaard near Eindhoven.

The company has grown rapidly, largely due to the fact that most of the products have been supplied directly from stock, but at the cost of heavily inflated inventory levels. The company has enhanced its in-house developed ERP system with Slim4, and the stock has been quickly reduced by 10%.

But more importantly, availability has significantly further improved. The implementation has created more time to spend on the complex buying process; MCB is now sourcing steel from Brazil and China.
