Case Study: Sapore di Mare reduces inventory by up to 35% with ToolsGroup demand-driven planning

Sapore di Mare reduces central warehouse inventory by 35% with ToolsGroup

Sapore di Mare, an Italian frozen seafood retailer with around 100 stores, faced challenges with structurally high inventory and limited control over its promotion-heavy, multi-temperature supply chain. Their push-based planning led to stock-outs and replenishment delays. To address this, they partnered with ToolsGroup to adopt a demand-driven operating model.

ToolsGroup implemented a solution featuring store-level forecasting and automated pull-based replenishment. This shift reduced central warehouse inventory by up to 35% while maintaining sales volumes and stabilized weekly performance to a roughly ±3% deviation. The ToolsGroup solution also improved operational control, freshness, and provided a foundation for continuous optimization.
