Description
Decion is the current name for ToolsGroup's supply chain planning platform, previously marketed under the SO99+ name; the company's own site now uses Decion throughout and makes no mention of the older name. It's described as an always-on decision intelligence platform: one that continuously senses demand and supply signals, weighs risk using probabilistic AI, and steers inventory, pricing, and replenishment toward service, margin, and growth targets a planner sets as guardrails, rather than producing a static forecast that goes stale between planning cycles.

The platform is organized into six connected modules. Demand Planning applies probabilistic demand forecasting that models uncertainty across seasonality, promotions, and market shifts, with collaborative planning and demand sensing layered on top. Supply Planning right-sizes inventory across a network using multi-echelon optimization, probabilistic safety stock, replenishment, production planning, and supplier collaboration. PPMO (price, promotion, and markdown optimization) models demand elasticity and competitive positioning to shape pricing and protect margin. Strategic Planning aligns demand, supply, and financial plans through S&OP, S&OE and response planning, integrated business planning, and network design with scenario modeling. Supply Chain Visibility provides a real-time digital twin as a shared source of truth. Retail Planning covers merchandise financial planning, assortment planning, store allocation, and inventory rebalancing for retail-specific use.
An AI assistant called Decy sits inside the platform, surfacing risks, explaining recommendations in plain terms, supporting scenario analysis, and orchestrating actions across planning and execution so a planner doesn't need to interpret a raw model output alone.
Decion reports working with more than 400 customers across 45-plus countries, built on more than 30 years of the company's forecasting work. Published customer results include Aston Martin raising first-time parts availability without adding inventory, Franke managing 1.4 million SKU-market combinations across 42 locations and 17 ERP systems with a two-person planning team, and McDonald's Mesoamerica's distributor cutting expedited shipments by 83% while improving service levels. The company also cites industry-wide ranges across its customer base: 40 to 90% workload reduction, 5 to 10 point forecast-accuracy gains, and 20 to 30% inventory reduction, alongside service levels up to 99%.
Decion is built for demand and supply planning teams at manufacturers, wholesale distributors, and retailers managing complex, multi-location inventory, particularly in aftermarket parts, food and beverage, and retail, rather than for simple, single-location inventory tracking.
