RELEX Retail Connected Planning: Make decisions before the gaps appear
Jul 3, 2026 • 1 minRetailer order history tells manufacturers what has already happened. By the time a shift in shopper demand shows up in the orders, the window to act on it has usually passed.
RELEX Retail Connected Planning pulls near real-time point-of-sale, inventory, and promotional data directly into the forecast, down to individual store level. When demand moves — a heatwave, a local event, a product dip — planners see it as it happens and can redistribute stock before the gaps appear.

Most manufacturers rely on retailer order history as their main planning signal.
But orders only show what has already happened, not what shoppers are buying today.
RELEX Retail Connected Planning uses near real-time point-of-sale, inventory, and promotional data to forecast at the individual store level, integrating local demand signals such as events and weather.
This granularity provides feedback on what each store genuinely needs to keep its shelves fully stocked, so you can meet replenishment needs before the gaps appear.
Watch the full demo to see how it works in practice.
