BOSTON – March 23, 2026 – ToolsGroupa global leader in supply chain planning and optimization software, today announced its inclusion in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions: Discrete Industries. Gartner recognized ToolsGroup for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. 

ToolsGroup supports organizations across industries with solutions designed for highly complex supply chains, serving both midmarket companies and large global enterprises. The company’s approach is grounded in decisioncentric planning, built on probabilistic modeling that integrates service level optimization with price, promotion, and markdown optimization (PPMO). This enables more connected, policydriven decisions across demand, supply, and commercial planning, helping organizations improve service while protecting margins in volatile environments. 

Ongoing investments in AIdriven explainability, realtime KPI monitoring, and advanced scenario analysis further support a decisioncentric, outcomedriven approach to planning. Together, these capabilities help organizations respond effectively to change while maintaining consistent, policydriven decisionmaking across planning horizons. 

 

We’re grateful for the recognition by Gartner of our vision for the future of supply chain planning and what we believe is our ability to turn that vision into real customer success,”

 

said ToolsGroup CEO, Sean Elliott. “By aligning planning around service levels and outcomes, we help organizations make better decisions under uncertainty and deliver on their promises—regardless of complexity.”
