RELEX Solutions

Finnish retail and consumer-goods planning platform

Overview

RELEX Solutions was founded in Finland in 2005 by Mikko Kärkkäinen, Johanna Småros and Michael Falck, three supply chain researchers. The company reports more than 2,300 employees in 21 countries and about 700 customers.[10]

RELEX began in retail replenishment and now sells a platform covering demand forecasting, end-to-end inventory planning, automatic replenishment and allocation, fresh inventory, channel and distribution planning, assortment and planogram optimisation, pricing and promotion planning, and store operations such as workload forecasting.[10] Its strongest base is grocery and fresh-food retail, where forecast accuracy affects waste: the company states that its food-retail customers avoided an estimated 350 million kilograms of food waste in 2024 and that customers typically cut food waste by 10–40%.[10]

The company states that it was named a Leader in four IDC MarketScape worldwide supply chain planning vendor assessments.[10] RELEX is privately held and publishes no revenue or prices. It is less suited to discrete manufacturers with complex bills of materials, where Kinaxis or o9 are more common choices.
