Jun 15, 2020 • 2 minGourmet Egypt, a producer and supplier of wholesome food products and handcrafted recipes with an online store and 15 sales locations in Egypt, announced that it will collaborate with RELEX Solutions to automate, optimize, and integrate its omnichannel supply chain. The solution, leveraging pragmatic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovative machine learning will improve freshness of Gourmet’s goods and reduce food waste while increasing availability for its customers.

“RELEX is the key enabler that guarantees products are available for our customers at the very peak of freshness while we work to significantly reduce food waste.”
“As our business expands, in order to continue meeting our customers’ high expectations for product quality and freshness while minimizing the environmental impact of our business, we need the most advanced supply chain management technology,” says Jalal Abu Gazaleh, CEO at Gourmet Egypt. “RELEX is the key enabler that guarantees products are available for our customers at the very peak of freshness while we work to significantly reduce food waste.”
Franck Westrelin, RELEX Solutions VP Sales Southern Europe & MENA, comments, “We enjoyed our time designing an omnichannel and integrated supply chain with the Gourmet team, and we are now thrilled to have the opportunity to realize it together. We look forward to showing how our autonomous and adaptive planning, powered by pragmatic AI, can help Gourmet reach their goals and grow stronger.”
