Anora, a leading wine and spirits brand house in the Nordic region, has built on their successful collaboration with RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, to integrate their supply and demand planning processes across all operations.
A global industry forerunner in sustainability, Anora’s portfolio includes well-known brands such as Koskenkorva, Linie, Chill Out and Blossa. Anora has been a RELEX customer since 2013, utilizing demand forecasting and purchase planning across their international locations.
