Sales & Operations Planning Software
Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) is critical to optimizing your supply chain, but it’s often difficult to align high-level business strategies with detailed operational execution. ToolsGroup S&OP software addresses this challenge by providing a single, integrated data model that facilitates collaboration and optimization across your organization. With a unified version of the truth, you can seamlessly connect strategic, tactical, and operational plans.
Improve Collaboration and Operate More Strategically
Enhance team collaboration across functional silos
The biggest challenge in many organizations is the communication gap between sales and operations teams. Our detailed modeling within a unified data model bridges this divide, offering a common language and visibility into trade-offs to balance decisions for optimal results.
Minimize forecast volatility and surprises
By connecting planning with execution, ToolsGroup S&OP software reduces the need for firefighting, allowing supply chain stakeholders to focus on refining baseline forecasts with their market insights. This integration minimizes expediting and forecast disruptions.
Align the entire organization around one data set
Our integrated data model eliminates functional biases, ensuring that sales and operational planning remains consistent. The software highlights the impact of each decision, allowing teams to make choices that best support overall business goals.
Make data-driven decisions
Access any data in real time and simulate what-if scenarios to assess the impact on P&L. This enables smarter, more strategic decision-making.
Customized for your business needs
Unlike other S&OP solutions that force businesses to conform to their processes, ToolsGroup’s S&OP software adapts to your existing workflows and unique operational requirements.
In order to meet the business objectives set by head office, we not only had to redesign the company's S&OP process internally, but also adopt advanced planning technology that would support and automate the process, and guarantee service. One of the clear premises for us was that ToolsGroup technology could be adapted to our processes and way of work."

Key Features of ToolsGroup Sales & Operations Planning Software
1. Scenario Planning
ToolsGroup’s simulation environment allows S&OP teams to perform on-the-fly calculations, assessing the supply chain and P&L impacts for various scenarios, such as price increases, promotions, purchasing requirements, and production plans. Advanced algorithms consider demand and supply chain uncertainties and simulate the effect of inventory on service levels. Teams can compare multiple scenarios to reach consensus.
2. Demand Collaboration and Workflow Management
Our web-based demand and supply collaboration hubs make what-if modeling accessible to stakeholders, including salespeople, dealers, partners, and suppliers. Demand-side participants refine the baseline forecast by contributing market insights, while supply-side stakeholders create a consensus plan. The S&OP workflow supports the entire process, enabling role-based task management and collaboration.
3. Demand Shaping to Match Organizational Constraints
With access to the same data model, each stakeholder can view and run different scenarios. Marketing teams can visualize the impact of demand-shaping activities, such as promotions and price changes, ensuring campaigns respect production and supply capacity for maximum impact.
