AGR vs. Slimstock
Inventory Optimisation For Growing Teams
Slimstock is known for complex, consultant-led supply chain optimisation. AGR takes a different approach: we give growing teams a modern, intuitive platform that delivers fast value without the heavy implementation costs or enterprise-level complexity.
AGR delivers 90% of the value of legacy optimisation suites at a fraction of the effort, cost, and complexity.
