Key Features of ToolsGroup Sales & Operations Planning Software

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
