RELEX Solutions and Revamp Corporation Partner to Optimize Supply Chains for Japanese Customers

The partnership with REVAMP, a Future Corporation company brings together local and global demand forecasting and replenishment experts to scale up operations in Japan

RELEX Solutions, a provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, has partnered with Revamp Corporation (REVAMP), a Future Corporation (4722.T) company. The Japanese consultancy firm is known for providing a comprehensive range of services aimed at supporting clients in their transformation projects. The partnership brings significant advantages for the Japanese market as REVAMP and RELEX complement each other’s demand forecasting and replenishment capabilities and combine local knowledge with global insight.

Founded in 2005, REVAMP’s philosophy is true to its name: the consultancy seeks to revitalize its client companies by identifying their existing strengths, supporting those, and complementing them with the skills needed to achieve the clients’ aims. Specialized in transformation projects, REVAMP is particularly focused on supporting in-house development to ensure smooth implementation of often complex and nuanced change initiatives.

REVAMP has been providing business planning, consulting, and implementation services and support specifically for supply chain management, omnichannel, and CRM systems in the Japanese market for many years. However, in response to the rapid pace of business changes and the growing diversity of customer needs, it started exploring more flexible and powerful solutions. During this process, they met RELEX in Singapore, at NRF ‘24 Asia Pacific. The initial encounter led to in-depth discussions and, ultimately, to establishing a strong partnership.

“Transformation projects often require long implementation times and robust support,” said Daisuke Ando, Executive Officer at REVAMP. “It is therefore crucial to deliver the projects with a reliable partner, and this is what we have in RELEX. In addition, their considerable and global cross-industry experience brings our customers best practices from across different industries and countries.”

RELEX has over 500 customers across the globe, including retailers, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, manufacturers, and wholesalers. The company offers end-to-end supply chain solutions that range from demand forecasting to inventory management to pricing and promotions and space management solutions. The partnership with REVAMP marks an important milestone for RELEX in expanding their presence in the Japanese market.

“In REVAMP, we have found a partner that not only excels in transformation projects but is also an expert in demand forecasting,” said Mikko Kärkkäinen, Co-founder and CEO of RELEX. “This partnership ensures a seamless project delivery and implementation support for our Japanese customers.”
