Swedish home electronics retailer aims to optimize its supply chain processes, cut inventory and boost availability with retail planning solution.

MediaMarkt Sweden has selected RELEX to automate and optimize its supply chain. RELEX, whose groundbreaking retail planning solutions have delivered impressive results for customers worldwide, will replace the retailer’s largely manual supply chain management processes.

MediaMarkt chose RELEX to improve the accuracy of its forecasting, match inventory to demand, boost availability and cut the workload on staff through automation.

MediaMarkt offers a wide range of well-known brands at low prices, competent staff, excellent service, clear advertising and a decentralized organization.

RELEX is expected to improve MediaMarkt’s demand forecasting accuracy and replenishment efficiency, better match stock levels to customer demand, while increasing availability and sales.
