What do you like best about Service Optimizer 99+?

A number of things:

Pioneer in Probabilistic Forecasting and true MEIO.

Core system philosophy: to optimize and automate planning, you need a supply chain digital twin which is both DETAILED and STOCHASTIC.

Detailed means working bottom-up, stating at SKU-location level and avoiding gross calculations (for example at Product Family, ABC, geography, or other aggregate level) and then using a rule of thumb to turn this into an actionable plan.

Stochastic means to incorporate the volatile nature of the physical supply chain that represents (delays, variability, etc), for each different SKU-route and thus producing a resilient plan.

Strong engine solving for millions of SKU-Locations, used daily, calulating forecasts and replenishment plans.

Traditionally, very good user interface: Demand, Inventory and Supply information in one place, easily accessible to users, with many clever solutions and consistent workflows.

Powerful reporting used every day by most users: Almost instant view of Demand and Supply plans in different ways: Sales (quantities), Financial (costs/revenues), Logistics (pallets, cubic meters, etc.) at different product/market levels and time horizons.

Practical application of AI/MLE for solving real problems (New product introduction, Promos).

Relatively simple integration, using data available in most ERPs.

The system support is part of the SaaS and further Customer support is facilated through standard portal, as well as tailored to the needs of each customer by TG or local VARs.

Fast implementations and ROI: out of the box for most of the SCP environments; quick parametrization; easy customizations (if needed); results in a few months.

Future proof investment: ToolsGroup seems to continue expand the scope and depth of the solution. Latest example is Price Optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
