Overview
RELEX Solutions is a unified, AI-native planning platform used by retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers to forecast demand, optimize inventory and replenishment, and plan pricing, promotions, space, and production end-to-end. Founded in 2005 by three Finnish supply chain scientists and headquartered in Helsinki, the company has grown into a global vendor serving 700+ customers with a focus on grocery, convenience, fresh, and broader retail and consumer-goods supply chains.
The platform centers on machine-learning demand forecasting that captures the impact of many demand drivers -- promotions, merchandising and assortment changes, new product introductions, seasonality, weather, and external events -- to produce forecasts down to the store/SKU/day level. These forecasts feed downstream optimization for automatic replenishment, allocation, space and assortment planning, pricing and promotion management, workforce and store-operations planning, and manufacturing/production scheduling, so commercial, supply chain, and operations decisions stay aligned on a shared data foundation.
RELEX is delivered as a cloud SaaS service, with a purpose-built in-memory computing engine for fast analysis over large retail datasets and a "configure, don't code" approach that lets business users adjust rules and workflows without custom development. It integrates with major ERP and POS systems via APIs and pre-built data flows (including a packaged SAP-to-RELEX integration), and is positioned for mid-market and enterprise organizations with complex, high-volume planning needs rather than small businesses.
