ToolsGroup’s Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization (MEIO) calculates the optimal inventory mix across your products and network to meet your customer service level targets at the lowest cost. Our unique inventory modeling technology eliminates the gross approximations of traditional inventory management solutions, creating very reliable relationships between inventory and service levels for each SKU and location, including products with hard to forecast in the “long tail” demand.

To truly serve the end customer, the entire network - from raw materials suppliers and factories through distribution centers and wholesalers - needs the right items in stock. Our MEIO solution suggests optimal inventory levels at each stage of the supply chain, simultaneously balancing across multiple echelons, locations, and different Bill-of-Material (BOM) levels. Its machine learning engine finds the most globally efficient balance between upstream and downstream inventory while optimizing safety stocks. It supports centralized demand planning, lowers costs across the supply chain, and streamlines operations.
