"We have always guaranteed a high service level to our clients. The goals set for SO99+ were to reduce stock, to improve stock mix and to further increase our service level - were therefore very ambitious. With Service Optimizer 99+ and the support of ToolsGroup we were able to carry out this project and achieve the set goals.”
"There was an immense amount of flexibility from ToolsGroup leadership to really get into the weeds of our business and how they can adapt their tool to meet our business objectives."
“We have completely recouped our investment in SO99+ within just one year. Apart from hard benefits, above all, it’s the detailed insights that ToolsGroup gives a midsized company like ours that allows us to punch above our weight in the market.”
“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.”
"Our ecommerce business faces an increasing SKU count and highly intermittent demand, and with shifting consumer preferences there could be a potential disruption around every corner. We partnered with ToolsGroup so that no matter what tomorrow brings, we can deliver service to customers while effectively managing our inventory."
"Despite its power and level of sophistication, ToolsGroup is highly automated for an extremely low cost of ownership."
"Thanks to ToolsGroup we have been able to really standardize and centralize the whole S&OP process much more efficiently and with many more users than before. The combination of a leading system component with powerful algorithms plus an easy-to-use web interface to collaborate with our European commercial teams really unlocks full potential to be fully demand-driven."
"We are currently managing 100% of the 46,500 store-order-lines per day. It is a fully automated replenishment process."
“We were facing the enormous challenge of organizational change, which included not only the search for a technological tool, but also changes in the organizational structure, processes and systems."
“Through the supply chain transformation process, we get to read the sell-out information in terms of burgers and translate it to ingredients, so we have the end product sales forecast and use it to purchase all supplies in terms of ingredient cases. This is done using SO99+ mixed with our own SAR Management System, resulting in increased efficiency and greater visibility.”
“We needed good visualization throughout the whole process and we needed better timing and forecasting. SO99+ makes us a lot more agile and prepared.”
"We chose ToolsGroup because of its ease of use and the scalability of its applications, which made it easy to invest in and evolve with as our company transforms."
"We went from a time consuming manual planning to full focus on optimizing. Now we can plan even further ahead and our next goal is to get a “GPS-function” for planning, we will tell it where we want to go and it will draw the map."
“The category is still at its early stages in most countries. One of our strong focuses is to drive innovation and leverage technology to keep on delivering healthier and high quality products. Outsourcing allows us to scale rapidly to accompany our growth and international expansion, while focusing our investment in product development and developing the category penetration. We develop and control the recipes, product specifications, and quality, and we can bring in more manufacturers to support our growing business as needed.”
