ToolsGroup Demand Planning
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
ToolsGroup Demand Planning is web-based software for forecasting demand, planning inventory, and coordinating supply decisions. Its probabilistic models address intermittent, seasonal, long-tail, lumpy, and promotion-driven demand. Self-adaptive AI is designed to improve forecasts through a product’s lifecycle and reduce bullwhip effects, while real-time demand sensing identifies changing patterns for adaptive planning. Collaborative workflows bring sales, operations, and supply teams together around a consensus forecast. Demand shaping uses pricing, promotions, and inventory-aware decisions to influence demand. The product supports scenario and hierarchical forecasting at SKU-location granularity, plus merchandise, assortment, allocation, replenishment, pricing, markdown, product hierarchy, demand, supply, inventory, and financial planning. Decion is designed to connect with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and other operational or data platforms. The cloud service uses segregated customer environments, AES-256 encryption for stored data, and TLS protection in transit. ToolsGroup lists ISO/IEC 27001:2013, SOC, FedRAMP, and GDPR compliance information. Pricing is on request.
