Case Study: TFL (chemical company) achieves 22% reduction in finished-goods inventory and 3.5% higher service levels with ToolsGroup SO99+

TFL - Customer Case Study

TFL, a German chemicals company operating in 90 countries, faced the common supply-chain challenge of lowering finished-goods inventory while maintaining high service levels across its production and distribution network. To address this, TFL engaged ToolsGroup and deployed its SO99+ inventory planning and optimization solution, integrated with TFL’s SAP R/3 system.

ToolsGroup implemented SO99+ quickly with minimal involvement from TFL’s IT team, delivering immediate results: within one month TFL reduced inventory and improved service, later adding a second SO99+ system. As a result, ToolsGroup helped TFL raise global service levels by 3.5%, cut finished-goods inventory by more than 22%, and reduce average inventory from 90 days to 70 days.
