James Hall & Co. Ltd Streamlines Wholesale and Retail Planning with RELEX

RELEX will provide unified forecasting and replenishment for James Hall & Co. Ltd’s distribution centre and SPAR stores, improving responsiveness and daily operations.

James Hall & Co. Ltd, the family-owned business and primary retailer, wholesaler, and distributor for SPAR across the North of England, has selected RELEX Solutions to upgrade forecasting and replenishment across its wholesale and retail operations.

The project includes planning for the company’s single SPAR distribution centre based in Preston, Lancashire, and both its company owned stores division and independently owned SPAR stores across ambient, fresh, and frozen categories.

James Hall & Co. Ltd chose RELEX as they continue to expand their automation capabilities while staying true to their values and long-standing commitment to serving independent retailers. The decision also builds on the strong results RELEX has delivered for SPAR businesses in the UK and internationally.

“As our business continues to grow, we need systems that help our teams work efficiently while supporting excellent service for our retailers,” said Niels Dekkers, Joint Managing Director at James Hall & Co Ltd. “RELEX brings proven experience across the SPAR network, and we look forward to working together on a roadmap that strengthens our supply chain.”

“We are proud to partner with a family-owned business with such a strong heritage and clear sense of purpose,” said Gaël Ramaen, SVP Strategic Business Transformation at RELEX Solutions. “There is a strong cultural alignment between our teams, and that collaboration is critical to making planning simpler, faster, and more effective across both their wholesale and retail operations.”
