Community Coffee Company to Strengthen Forecast Accuracy and Inventory Performance with RELEX

Largest family-owned U.S. coffee brand to unify demand, inventory, and distribution planning on a single platform

RELEX Solutions today announced that Community Coffee Company, the largest family-owned retail coffee brand in the United States, has selected RELEX to strengthen planning across its growing, multi-channel business. Working with implementation partner Establish Inc., Community Coffee will deploy unified demand, inventory, replenishment, distribution, and sales and operations planning capabilities.

Headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Community Coffee imports, roasts, and distributes premium coffee products across retail, foodservice, and direct-to-consumer channels nationwide, with operations spanning more than 57 locations. As the company’s planning needs continued to grow, it needed to replace disconnected planning tools and create a single view of demand and supply across its network.

Community Coffee Company selected RELEX for its unified AI-native supply chain planning platform and its proven track record helping food and beverage manufacturers sharpen planning precision, reduce inventory costs, and synchronize planning across channels. With RELEX, the company expects to strengthen planning performance, optimize inventory across channels, improve product availability, and enhance operational scalability to support continued growth.

“Delivering the highest quality products and service has always been our focus, and that requires a supply chain that can scale with our ambitions,” said Zack King, Director, Supply Chain Orchestration, Community Coffee Company. “RELEX gives us a unified planning platform that will help us plan with greater confidence, better align our commercial and operational teams, and build a stronger foundation for serving our retail and coffee service customers.”

“Community Coffee has built a remarkable brand while navigating real planning complexity across multiple channels and customer types,” said Greg Huffman, Sales Director, RELEX Solutions. “By connecting demand planning with supply, inventory, replenishment, and distribution planning on a single platform, their teams will gain the visibility and clarity needed to make faster decisions as the business scales. We’re proud to support their next step: building a planning foundation that keeps pace with their growth across grocery, coffee service, and e-commerce channels.”
