What Toolio is
Toolio is a cloud-based merchandising platform that brings merchandise planning, open-to-buy, assortment, and allocation together for retail teams. Merchants, planners, and finance teams can manage and approve purchase orders, transfers, and replenishments in one place, then export them to an ERP. Demand forecasting and scenario planning account for out-of-stocks, promotions, holiday shifts, and unusual events. Users can create custom views for metrics, attributes, and timeframes, alongside dashboards and workflows for retail and fashion. Workflow tools include automation, exception insights, and weekly recaps through a chatbot. Teams can share updates in real time, comment, receive notifications, and assign granular read/write access. Toolio's MCP Server connects its data to Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible platforms. The maker says MCP access is read-only, Toolio actions require human approval, and customer data is not used to train third-party AI models. Toolio is web-based, and pricing is available on request. Several named integrations, including Shopify, Salesforce, and NetSuite, are marked “Coming Soon.”
