Source-to-Customer Retail and Supply Chain Planning and Optimization Platform
In a world that rarely follows the rules, our product helps you reach or exceed service levels while right-sizing inventory—no matter how complex your supply chain is or how much demand changes.
Guarantee high service levels at lowest cost
While others focus on forecast accuracy, ToolsGroup focuses on the ultimate goal — service-level delivery. Our service-driven approach positions inventory across the network to efficiently meet high customer service level objectives. Set your service levels and relax knowing you'll meet them with the minimum inventory investment.
Master demand uncertainty
Our product incorporates uncertainty modeling across a range of supply chain planning functions, from demand forecasting to inventory and replenishment. Its probability-based forecasting identifies a range of outcomes and the probability of each of those outcomes occurring, so it can calculate optimal inventory targets.
Improve handling of intermittent demand/slow movers
When managing slow-moving and intermittent demand items, ToolsGroup is incomparably better than other solutions. We’ve cracked the code on relationships between inventory and customer service levels, so you can optimize even very large assortments — including those with sporadic demand — balancing inventories across different locations and different levels in the bill of materials (BOM).
Automate planning to increase productivity
Our highly autonomous software ensures that your planners are focused on the most productive and the highest value-added activities. Rather than a manually-intensive decision support tool, our solution manages much of the number-crunching, data manipulation and other grunt work for planners.
Tame complexity with machine learning
Because our machine learning engine incorporates deep learning, our models “learn” from existing data and accurately identify future demand trends. It leverages the knowledge, experience and skills of demand planners and other experts, working like an intelligent assistant that helps them do their normal jobs much more effectively.
We partnered with ToolsGroup so that no matter what tomorrow brings, we can deliver service to customers while effectively managing our inventory."

Deep technology to help you master uncertainty
Single platform, end-to-end solution
Our product was designed from the beginning as a single, unified model for an end-to-end planning process. All of our solutions are built from the same detailed model of demand and supply. The net result is an end-to-end process that minimizes the bullwhip effect, scales easily, and provides deep insight into demand signals, inventory behaviors and supply chain volatility.
Probabilistic forecasting
Our product is the only supply chain planning platform that incorporates uncertainty modeling across a range of supply chain planning functions, from demand forecasting to inventory and replenishment/master planning. Easily model supply chain variability in planning and optimization, across the end-to-end supply chain.
Inventory optimization
ToolsGroup’s self-adaptive demand and inventory models automatically define the optimal mix of inventory across the multi-echelon supply chain to achieve aggressive service level targets with minimal inventory. Our customers routinely achieve millions of dollars in savings via increased service levels, reduced stock-outs and improved inventory turns.
Integration with other systems
Our supply chain planning solution seamlessly integrates with SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics 365, plus any third party data sources. It combines three important supply chain planning functions: demand planning, inventory optimization and replenishment planning, all in a tightly integrated platform.
