RELEX helps grocers optimize their forecasting, replenishment, promotions, space, and workforce planning across their stores and the supply chain to drive sales, increase competitiveness, and deliver the freshest products to customers in every channel.
Turn your greatest grocery challenges into opportunities
Food retailers must carefully manage a broad range of products and ever-changing market dynamics to succeed in today’s crowded market. They face multiple challenges, especially with fresh foods, including spoilage and highly manual processes.
Availability and freshness
With 41% of grocery retail sales coming from fresh departments, grocers must maintain high availability to meet customer demand while keeping fresh products at their freshest to satisfy customers. Balancing product availability, inventory cost, and spoilage is difficult, as the inventory data is often incomplete, and demand fluctuates.
Food waste and sustainability
Wasted food costs roughly twice the amount of retail sales profit, significantly impacting a retailer’s bottom line. In fact, 13% of food waste globally comes from retail. Reducing waste can also help retailers meet their sustainability targets.
Omnichannel efficiency
Consumers expect a streamlined shopping experience—regardless of channel—with low prices and fast delivery times. Grocery retailers must rethink their approach to efficiency to support customers online and in stores.
Store operations
For retailers, it’s all about finding the right balance: ensuring sufficient staff to maintain customer satisfaction and high service levels while also streamlining inventory and order processes to enhance efficiency and minimize errors.
