    Slimstock是总部位于英国的软件物流公司，因其在去年三井运输汽车零部件的货船在印度洋沉船时的敏捷反应，而在最近2014物流业务IT颁奖典礼里，获得规划与预测软件组奖项。 装箱的零部件是由IM Parts公司进口的，该公司在英国经销Subaru, Isuzu和Daihatsu汽车零部件。Automotive Logistics杂志曾在2013年6月报道过此事，那时几个公司刚刚开始合作，就有一船的货物沉入海底。IM Parts公司财务主任Mike Willetts说，“当满载货物的货船沉入海底时，我们面连着巨大的库存问题。如果我们的库存货物具有极大的前置时间的话，以最快速度解决这个问题就成为当务之急。多亏了Slimstock公司的支持，我们能够立即作出反应，并且采取必要措施，保证了我们客户的需求。” Slimstock公司帮助IM Parts公司制定恢复计划，在几个小时之内便解决了潜在的灾难性处境。” 英国Slimstock主任Richard Evan说，“虽然IM Parts公司陷入事故，处于极其危险的境地，但是我丝毫没有怀疑，以我们的专业知识，绝对能够立即解决问题，让运营回到正轨上来。”
