Our SPAR Partner, the Henderson Group, is already making use of RELEX forecasting and demand software. In this video from the Connected Retail Conference in 2020 they explain the system and how it benefits their organisation.
As SPAR International, we find it important to have agreements in place with Supplier who can support SPAR Partners with the big challenges of the current moment. The main reasons we have onboarded RELEX are the following.

Supply Chain Efficiency and Demand Planning

With RELEX Solutions SPAR Partners are able to create more efficient supply chains with less effect on changes in consumer demands and how they for example can better collaborate with Consumer Packed Good Companies. You can read more on this in this this white paper.

Reducing waste in the Supply Chain

In this blogpost you can find three ways to easily reduce waste in the Supply Chain. Because of their solutions RELEX has recently won among others the award for Best Sustainability Initiative at the NRF in New York.

Having the right products in the right moment of time

Within the SPAR Community and retail in general we see more focus on fresh products. However, fresh products are also a liability in terms of risk on waste. Therefore, having a system in place which supports forecasting and replenishment in this area. Moreover, it is also extremely important to have the right products in your store in the right moment in time. In this white paper you can find an interesting guide on having more efficient seasonal inventory management.
