JYSK to Unify Global Supply Chain and Retail Planning with RELEX 

Danish home furnishing retailer to implement targeted supply chain solutions across 3,350 stores in 29 countries 

JYSK, a global home furnishing retailer and the third-largest retailer in Europe, is expanding its collaboration with RELEX Solutions. Building on the success of the distribution center (DC) forecasting implementation in 2022, JYSK will now roll out RELEX forecasting and replenishment and RELEX Diagnostics across 3,350 stores and 10 DCs in 29 countries.  

JYSK has built a strong international presence since its founding, offering customers an extensive range of great offers on indoor and outdoor furniture, beds and interior decor at competitive prices across Europe. As JYSK grows, managing a complex supply chain across diverse markets while ensuring products are available when customers need them has become increasingly challenging and important. Previous processes provided limited visibility into demand and inventory optimization, making it harder to keep stock levels balanced. 

With RELEX, JYSK will adopt a unified approach to forecasting and supply chain optimization. This means that forecasting is mainly done at the store level whereafter aggregated forecasts are used for upstream purposes. This removes the need for various fragmented forecasting processes and thereby ensures one version of the truth throughout the supply chain. 

The expanded implementation will enable JYSK to improve transparency and thereby improve both product availability and lower cost. The lowered costs are expected to come from improved resource planning, increased stock turnover and less movements between own Distribution centers. 

“At JYSK, we are committed to excellence in supply chain planning,” said Heine Sort, Flow of Goods Director at JYSK. “By expanding our RELEX implementation, we ensure products are in the right place at the right time, whether customers shop online or in-store. The increased transparency supports efficient growth, while the AI-driven RELEX platform gives us the foundation to continuously optimize our supply chain.” 

“We are proud to continue our work with JYSK and support their global operations,” said Jason Berry, Senior Vice President, EMEA, RELEX Solutions. “By adopting our end-to-end unified AI-based platform, JYSK will gain full visibility and control across supply chain. Their success with DC forecasting has already shown the value of our approach, and this broader implementation will unlock new efficiencies and drive profitable growth across all their markets.”
