Strategic Transformation in Inventory Planning

Before implementing Toolio, mnml relied on Excel and Qlik View for inventory management, making it difficult to optimize stock levels efficiently.

With more accurate demand forecasting and instant visibility into their past performance, the team now makes smarter, data-driven inventory decisions, preventing overstock while ensuring they can meet customer demand efficiently.
