Automate replenishment and allocation
to optimize results
RELEX’s automatic replenishment system handles the routine work so your team can focus on tasks that require their expertise and human intelligence.
Automate store replenishment with high accuracy
Place hundreds of thousands of accurate orders every day using machine learning-based forecasting that captures the impact of all demand drivers, including weekdays, price, promotions and cannibalization, holidays, local events, and weather.
Optimize stock for high availability
RELEX’s automatic replenishment system optimizes stock levels for high on-shelf-availability and inventory turnover while reducing operational costs and supporting direct-to-shelf replenishment and full truckload deliveries.
Manage seasons effectively
Fill the gaps in seasonal planning by allowing RELEX to seamlessly combine pre-season ordering, initial allocations, automatic in-season replenishment, and targeted end-of-season allocations and markdowns to drive maximum value out of seasonal stock.
Master new product introductions and ramp-downs
Leverage efficient initial allocations and attribute-based forecasting of new products to improve replenishment accuracy, then perform controlled ramp-down of items to be discontinued, minimizing residual stock and facilitating smooth assortment changes.
Improve your supply chain efficiency
Take the guesswork out of distribution center replenishment by basing inventory requirements on accurate store order projections and leveraging improved goods flow visibility into proactive capacity management and resource planning.
Shift planner focus to high-value work
Automate routine replenishment so your planners can focus on exception management, performance analysis, and continuous improvement while leveraging visual dashboards to keep track of KPIs and understand root causes.
