Wholesale Distribution Supply Chain Planning Software to Optimize Inventory Without Compromising Service
Range-based probabilistic AI for long-tail demand forecasting, multi-echelon inventory optimization, and network rebalancing - delivering higher service with less inventory across large, dispersed B2B distribution networks, even when demand is intermittent and the cost of a stockout is high.

In distribution, your margin is trapped in inventory - most of it in the long tail.
Wholesale distribution supply chain planning software that helps distributors forecast demand, optimize inventory, manage replenishment, and balance service levels across warehouses, branches, and distribution networks while reducing working capital requirements.
In wholesale distribution, 15–30 cents of every revenue dollar is tied up in inventory and the cost of carrying it. Most SKUs move slowly or intermittently, so deterministic forecasting treats lumpy demand as a stable average - systematically overstocking slow movers while strategic items run short. Add long, unreliable supplier lead times, SKU proliferation, and Amazon-standard service expectations, and traditional planning breaks fast: stockouts, expediting, and working capital all climb at once.
ToolsGroup's wholesale distribution supply chain planning software closes that gap with range-based probabilistic forecasting built for the long tail and decision intelligence that rebalances inventory across your entire network. It continuously steers service, cost, and margin toward your financial targets, helping distributors improve product availability, reduce excess inventory, lower carrying costs, and deliver higher service levels with less inventory.

Why Deterministic Forecasting Fails in Distribution
Traditional forecasting is deterministic – a single number per SKU, with stock set on fixed “days of coverage.” That works for steady, high-volume demand. In distribution, most SKUs are nothing like that.
Most of the catalog is long-tail – slow-moving and intermittent – so a single average systematically overstocks slow movers and starves the strategic items customers actually call about. Fixed days-of-coverage makes service a byproduct of stock decisions instead of a goal, and unreliable supplier lead times turn every error into a stockout or an expensive expedite.
Probabilistic planning models the full range of demand – including the intermittent long tail – instead of one fragile number, setting inventory to hit explicit service targets at the lowest total cost. It’s the foundation Decion builds on, across multi-echelon inventory optimization, network rebalancing, and agentic AI.

Distribution Leaders in Their Words
“We're able to look at different scenarios, service classes and lead times to figure out if we need to raise or lower the service level. The demand planning helps me confidently forecast even items with unpredictable demand.”
“The results we've achieved with ToolsGroup have made Rajapack Italia a benchmark for the group's subsidiaries in replenishment management.”
“ToolsGroup automated our manual replenishment process by providing accurate and easy-to-use replenishment mechanisms for the buying department.”
