“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.”
"Thanks to the continuous improvement program with ToolsGroup, we’re now at the point where we can confidently switch off our own manual overrides and put complete trust in the forecasts.”
"ToolsGroup automated our manual replenishment process by providing accurate and easy-to-use replenishment mechanisms for the buying department.”
“We needed an integrated system with visibility that could alert us to potential problems so that we could proactively manage them.”
“Aligning our supply chain planning processes with customer service and commercial goals helped us more dynamically respond to consumer preferences and improve the pace of promotions.”
"The overall process both identifies the inventory needed to fulfill orders and models in-transit and safety stock to minimize inventory while maintaining high service levels.”
”Our existing technology couldn’t support our S&OP efforts.”
"We finally chose SO99+ from ToolsGroup because of its unique combination of high automation, advanced machine learning algorithms and its demand collaboration capabilities.”
"So far this project has gone far better than we ever could have imagined. We’ve actually managed to grow our revenue and reduce our inventory costs, so I’m very pleased.”
"With the benefit of reliable, uptodate data, we treat inventory in a totally different and structured way. Members find it much more satisfying and even fun to work with this data because they know it’s going to be used somewhere, and they get immediate feedback. Also, because they don’t have to spend all their time manually crunching numbers, they’re freed up to engage in more valuable work.”
"It was becoming increasingly difficult to forecast the growth each year, and then figure out how to allocate goods to the new stores.”
"Now we can focus on more addedvalue work because the data crunching doesn’t consume any time on our end. It’s a good interaction between humans and machines. We let the machines do the dirty job, the one where humans don’t add value and actually sometimes get things wrong.”
"With our revenue and operations about to double, we needed to create a new scalable replenishment model and specialize our supply chain team."
"As our assortment continues to grow, we are moving into new categories and I am confident that our current demand planning team will be able to manage it successfully now.”
“The company’s replenishment and ordering process would run over days. Manual intervention became the norm to combat system deficiencies. These deficiencies were hampering the entire value chain, negatively affecting user productivity and impacting our ability to satisfy customers – effectively compromising the core mission of the company.”
