From siloed planning to one plan, from ingredients to shelf
Beauty, personal care, and home care brands plan around ingredient and packaging sourcing lead times, two-stage bulk and fill production, and demand that ranges from steady staples to unpredictable, trend-driven spikes.
RELEX connects ingredient sourcing, demand planning, and production scheduling in one plan, so a shortfall or a sudden spike becomes an early decision instead of a cost absorbed later.
Solve the biggest beauty, personal, and home care supply chain challenges
Beauty, personal care, and home care brands need to manage demand, ingredient sourcing, and production sequencing together to stay competitive.
Stable high-volume lines, slow movers, new launches with no sales history, and social-media-driven spikes each behave differently, and most planning tools handle only one of them well.
Specialty ingredients and packaging components arrive on long, variable lead times, and minimum order quantities rarely align with batch sizes. Shortfalls might surface only after the production plan has already locked.
Every product moves through bulk preparation and then fill or assembly as two separate stages, with sequencing rules like color-to-color changeovers in between. A quality control hold or a missing packaging component can waste committed line time.
Demand, purchasing, production, and distribution too often run on separate plans and spreadsheets. Without one demand forecast feeding supply decisions directly, plans drift out of sync and gaps between planning and execution compound. With no way to run what-if scenarios, planners only see a decision’s impact once it’s too late.
Optimize beauty, personal, and home care supply chain planning
RELEX connects demand, ingredient sourcing, production, and distribution in one platform, replacing fragmented tools with one shared plan across the organization.
Machine learning demand forecasting models cover stable high-volume lines, slow movers, and new launches with no sales history, with pooled models and exception-based review for trend- and promotion-driven spikes.
Purchasing proposals are generated from the same demand signal and multi-level bill of materials as production, so a shortfall in a specialty ingredient or packaging component surfaces while there’s still time to act.
Production scheduling sequences bulk preparation and fill or assembly as linked stages, with changeover rules and quality control hold buffers built into the plan so committed line time isn’t wasted.
ERP systems are great at managing transactions, but fixed parameters and simplified logic can’t optimize ingredient sourcing, two-stage production, and fast-moving launches together. RELEX fills the gap with adaptive planning that reflects how beauty and home care brands operate.
One shared plan carries the demand forecast into ingredient sourcing, production, and distribution automatically, so every team works from the same numbers instead of reconciling separate spreadsheets.
