ToolsGroup SO99+ review
A broad, enterprise-focused optimizer for uncertain demand and multi-location inventory.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ToolsGroup SO99+ was a service-driven supply chain planning and inventory optimization platform for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and aftermarket organizations. It focused on businesses managing uncertain, intermittent, or long-tail demand across multiple locations. The platform modeled demand uncertainty, optimized inventory at the SKU-location level, set service and safety-stock targets, automated replenishment planning, and supported multi-echelon inventory decisions. ToolsGroup states that SO99+ is now part of the Decion platform, with its capabilities and analytical engines continuing under that brand.
Its strongest fit is organizations that need more than basic reorder points. Probabilistic demand forecasting, service-level target planning, safety-stock calculations, reorder-level and order-up-to-level calculations, and SKU-location optimization address several connected inventory decisions in one planning environment. Multi-echelon optimization extends the scope across supply-chain levels, while what-if scenario planning and supply-chain simulation support comparisons between planning choices. Machine-learning-assisted planning adds another analytical layer, but the product is best suited to teams with complex inventory structures and planning requirements.
SO99+ also connects with established enterprise systems and operational data sources, including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Power Platform, CRM systems, POS systems, and IoT data sources. It is available through web and API platforms, supporting integration-oriented deployments. Pricing uses a contact-sales model, which fits an enterprise evaluation process rather than a self-serve purchase. Choose this product, now represented within Decion, when intermittent demand, multi-location targets, replenishment, and multi-echelon trade-offs are central concerns. Organizations seeking a narrower inventory tool or a standalone product name should consider alternatives.
