      “The greatest advantage the RELEX platform brings us is that we can easily adapt it for our needs. It doesn’t force us to adapt our processes to the software like other systems do. Instead, we’re adapting the system to our processes.”

      Jürgen Mattulke
      Director of Supply Chain at Rossmann

      “One of the best aspects of working with RELEX has been their willingness to think creatively, take the time to understand what we’re trying to do, and work as a team, utilizing experience from across their organization to figure out solutions.”

      Johan Hoover
      VP of Allocation & Replenishment at Big Lots 

      “RELEX machine learning-based forecasting is critical to our ability to accurately forecast our most challenging categories, whether short-shelf life items or those with weather-driven demand. It’s also the bedrock of our plans to drive sustained growth and improve our resiliency in the face of rapidly evolving market conditions.”

      Richard Turton
      Head of Supply Chain at One Stop

      “When we choose a supplier and a system, one of the important things is what we call the “cultural fit”. It’s a little bit of a soft metric, but for us, very important that we have a partner that we like, and they like us. And the people here at ICA and the people of RELEX, we found each other on all the levels and also in the management levels.”

      Richard Belec
      Business and IT Development Manager, ICA Sweden

      “The reason we chose RELEX was it gave the analysts a lot of insight into their business in one place. It was easy to navigate, easy to train. I think they were all very excited when we started rolling out some of the categories. Word started spreading around the floor about how easy it was to use and how much everybody enjoyed it.”

      Kim Ramsey
      VP of Inventory Management for Family Dollar
