Case Study: Hero Spain achieves 98% service levels and 20% lower inventory with ToolsGroup

Hero Spain boosts service levels to 98% and cuts inventory 20% with ToolsGroup

Hero Spain, a leader in the food and beverage sector, faced a significant challenge from its parent company to achieve substantial and sustained improvements in its supply chain KPIs, including product availability, average stock levels, and forecast accuracy. To meet these new targets, they needed to automate their supply chain planning and redesign their S&OP process, leading them to partner with ToolsGroup for its demand forecasting and inventory optimization solutions.

ToolsGroup implemented a solution that automates the end-to-end supply chain planning process. It calculates a base demand forecast, enhances it with external variables like promotions, and then uses that forecast to determine inventory requirements and daily replenishment needs. This automation freed up resources from operational tasks. As a result, Hero Spain achieved a service level of up to 98% and reduced its inventory by 20%.
