ToolsGroup, a global leader in retail and supply chain planning and optimization software, is proud to announce it has been selected by Grupo Mercury, the Latin American business group dedicated to the import and marketing of wholesale electronics products, to help tailor inventory to demand for enhanced customer satisfaction, support business objectives, and accelerated business growth.
Grupo Mercury has over 10 years of experience in the market, importing products associated with lighting, electronics, and Smart Home devices. The company operates out of six distribution centers, managing a portfolio of roughly 3,500 products. The complexity of handling such a wide product range, characterized by high seasonality and intermittency, was further complicated by regionally differentiated demand trends and long supply lead times. With ambitious growth objectives, the company began looking for a transformative digital solution that could increase efficiency within its complex network, while freeing up working capital and resources for their growth-associated initiatives.
Were excited to embark on the next phase of growing our business and bringing great service and great products to even more customers across the region, said Fabin Samaca, Managing Director. Fredy Martinez, Regional Director of Supply Chain, added, We chose ToolsGroup to accompany us on this journey because they had the maturity to support our expansion plan, an in-depth understanding of the LATAM marketplace, and a proven track record of handling similar challenges and product types efficiently and profitably.

Thanks to a built-in, AI-driven probabilistic forecast, these solutions account for variability and tailor inventory to demand, mitigating risk and uncertainty in demand and supply planning. ToolsGroup has over 100 customers within distribution, giving the machine learning engine behind these capabilities ample opportunity to learn and adapt to the industrys unique challenges. By leveraging ToolsGroups native AI and automation, Grupo Mercury can navigate complexity, satisfy demand, and achieve enhanced business performance amid network expansion.

Were excited to embark on this journey with Grupo Mercury and together build a more resilient supply chain that will help them convert growth potential into real-world benefits.
