Case Study: Allopneus.com achieves 20% storage reduction and improved forecasting with ToolsGroup

Allopneus.com Optimizes Inventory and Improves Competitiveness with ToolsGroup

Allopneus.com, a French online tire leader selling 3.7 million tires in 2018 across more than 20,000 SKUs and operating an 84,000 sqm in-house distribution center, needed to improve service responsiveness while reducing inventory and storage costs to stay competitive. To meet this challenge the company selected ToolsGroup and its Service Optimizer 99+ (SO99+) solution to tackle demand forecasting, replenishment and inventory optimization.

ToolsGroup implemented SO99+ to deliver better sales forecasts, master inventory calculations and purchase-requirements planning, enabling more reliable operational alerts and faster responsiveness. As a result, Allopneus.com improved forecast reliability, performance and quality of service, and cut warehouse space by 20% (reducing its distribution center from 84,000 sqm to 66,000 sqm), boosting efficiency and customer satisfaction.
