BOSTON – July 20, 2023 – ToolsGroup, a global leader in supply chain and retail planning and optimization software, is thrilled to announce it has been selected by Legami, the Italian consumer goods company, to support its supply chain enhancement initiatives for heightened customer satisfaction and business performance through greater forecast accuracy and more nimble inventory management.
