For Third Year, RELEX Solutions Recognized as a Top Technology Company on the RIS Software LeaderBoard

For the third year in a row, RELEX Solutions has been recognized by RIS News’s Software LeaderBoard, ranking as one of the top technology companies servicing the retail industry. RELEX, a provider of unified retail optimization solutions, placed in over 30 categories on the 2021 LeaderBoard while continuing to distinguish itself as an industry leader.

LeaderBoard rankings are derived from over 600 software vendor evaluations submitted by more than 300 retailers. The rankings, which are processed by an independent research firm, highlight the substantial impact that software vendors are making on their customers.

This year, RELEX was again recognized by both Tier One and Mid-Size customers as a top-ten leader in multiple categories, from overall investment and technology innovation to customer satisfaction, recommendation, and quality of service. RELEX also moved up on the LeaderBoard’s overall Top 20 ranking of all retail technology vendors for 2021, rising two spots to the #12 position.

“RELEX’s continued Top-Ten LeaderBoard rankings and its upward movement on the Top-20 list highlight their ongoing commitment to being a highly innovative company that prioritizes customer satisfaction,” said Joe Skorupa, Editorial Director at RIS News. “Yet again, their presence in a wide range of categories, including Leaders in Overall Performance and Leaders in Technology Innovation, showcase RELEX as a key player in the retail industry.”

“RELEX was built from day one on core values that include ‘The customer is a friend’ and ‘We provide measurable value.’ Our entire team, from the top down, is aligned with these values every single day,” said Mikko Kärkkäinen, Group CEO of RELEX Solutions. “Our continued recognition on the RIS LeaderBoard shows that this has been an overwhelmingly successful approach.
