The grocery retail playbook: To win at grocery, you must win at fresh
Learn why grocery retailers must win at fresh and how RELEX helps them achieve success.
In-Store Production Planning
Align in-store production with real demand
Few departments are harder to run than fresh in-store production environments. Recipes vary, processes have multiple steps, and demand shifts with holidays, events, weather, and time of day. When production gets out of step with demand, margin disappears into stale baked goods and leftover rotisserie chicken, while store teams lose hours to manual ordering and counting.
RELEX In-Store production planning connects store-level execution to the supply chain on our AI-native platform, guiding employees through ordering, counting, and production with mobile-friendly tools that turn complex fresh operations into clear, daily decisions.
Align in-store fresh production with actual demand
RELEX puts AI-native intelligence directly into the hands of department managers and store employees, with real-time forecasts, intraday demand signals, and an in-app AI agent built for the store floor. In-store production planning works on any device, fits into existing workflows, and helps teams make faster, smarter decisions that reduce waste and keep fresh operations running at full speed.
