Potato chip maker implementing inventory optimization solution from ToolsGroup to model demand, replenishment and transportation
Boston — April 26, 2006 — Potato chip maker San Carlo Group has selected an inventory optimization solution from ToolsGroup to ensure its products' availability and freshness throughout its distribution network.
For food and beverage companies, being able to guarantee freshness of goods is critical to success. A leader in the potato chips and snacks industry, San Carlo will implement ToolsGroup's DPM suite to model demand, inventory, replenishment and transportation.
ToolsGroup said that DPM technology will enable San Carlo to optimize outflows and inventory at plants and warehouses, thus helping to increase the availability of goods and guarantee freshness.
San Carlo joins more than a dozen other food and beverage companies that have optimized inventory and replenishment with ToolsGroup technology, including beverage and confectionery company Cadbury Schweppes; pasta manufacturer Barilla; Coca-Cola bottler Casbega; and Granarolo, a leading European manufacturer of fresh dairy products.
Within the past year, ToolsGroup said it has also added poultry, alcoholic beverage and seafood customers to its growing client portfolio.
"By driving an optimal inventory mix, our multi-echelon technology insures customer service and improves product freshness," said Joseph Shamir, CEO of ToolsGroup.
