Brazil’s Obramax aligns with RELEX for supply chain optimization as part of its growth strategy.

Obramax, a leading Brazilian building materials retailer, has chosen RELEX Solutions to improve forecasting and replenishment in line with their growth objectives.

The decision to incorporate RELEX reflects a broader shift in Brazilian society towards faster shopping experience and convenience. With RELEX, Obramax will drive increased operational efficiency, enhanced availability and take advantage of AI/ML to drive more precise understanding of customer demand fluctuates and how RELEX provides more efficient replenishment orders.

Obramax’s business model blends wholesale and retail sales, ensuring competitive pricing and a consistent shopping experience across physical stores, e-commerce, and telesales. RELEX facilitates Obramax’s commitment to giving customers diverse purchasing options and the convenience of various delivery and pickup methods.
