Case Study: Moleskine achieves 70% forecast accuracy improvement and 15% working capital reduction with ToolsGroup

Moleskine Turns the Page and Optimizes Its Supply Chain

Moleskine, the Milan-based maker of iconic notebooks selling more than 16 million products a year across 25,000 points of sale in 105 countries, faced growing supply-chain complexity from 1,000 SKUs, rapid product innovation and a mix of make-to-stock and make-to-order models. The company needed better demand forecasting and inventory planning to close the gap between actual sales and replenishment, raise service levels across diverse B2C and B2B channels, and reduce working capital—so Moleskine turned to ToolsGroup and its SO99+ planning solution.

ToolsGroup implemented SO99+ to generate consolidated demand forecasts, optimize inventory (safety stock and reorder levels) and produce replenishment and procurement proposals based on service-driven policies. The result was a 70% improvement in sales forecast accuracy, a 15% reduction in working capital, higher shelf-fill rates and fewer lost sales at point of sale—freeing capital to support new channels and growth while improving visibility and profitability across Moleskine’s complex supply chain.
