“Empik is one of the leaders in Polish digital transformation, driving innovation for over 75 years. We are looking forward to embarking on our strategy to shift away from legacy systems and manual approaches towards a sophisticated, AI-driven retail planning solution. This transition is crucial for upholding our commitment to customer satisfaction and supporting even more rapid omnichannel growth, With RELEX, we can ensure that our customers always find what they need, whether they shop in-store or online.”
“One of the best things about RELEX is the dashboards which are the main drivers of our S&OP process. For the first time, we’re all looking at the same data – in ways that are meaningful to our roles. RELEX has helped us link up the business, and streamline our cross-functional communication. We can now tie our financial plan directly to the demand plan in RELEX, which, in turn, connects with our inventory and production plans.”
"The optimized shifts look really good, and the planning process is fast. By linking shift planning to demand forecasts and the incoming delivery schedule, it’s simply far easier to ensure we have the right people available for the tasks that need doing. So when deliveries arrive stock gets shelved immediately and there are no half-empty pallets waiting to be cleared. Not only do the shelves look better, but so does the whole store — and the customers notice and appreciate that."
"The reason why we chose RELEX is because we wanted to have autonomy over the space and layout area. We wanted to have a function that was very much on its own, and we wanted to embrace that with the supply chain and operations within the organization. And RELEX we found was the best fit because it not only provided us with planogram production but it also provided us with floor planning."
“Most of our products have relatively stable demand, albeit seasonal. RELEX does an excellent job of automating the forecasting process and delivering accurate projections. Anticipating demand for new customers and products will always be tricky, but the sales team does a great job keeping our demand planners informed about customer projections and activities.”
“With RELEX in place across the business, we were able to successfully navigate the coronavirus crisis, support individual stores, and meet our customers’ needs with a high level of service during this unique time of shifting demand.”
"Because the RELEX system is so agile and user friendly, we can easily adapt it ourselves to situations as they occur."
“With stores across several countries in several types of formats like railway stations, airports and urban areas, customer demand is quite specific within each, offering unique challenges. We needed a more sophisticated way to accurately forecast demand and replenish and plan store assortments appropriately, Choosing RELEX aligns with Valora’s strategy to improve the shopper experience by improving item availability while reducing waste and maximizing operational efficiency.”
“We trust RELEX given their expertise specifically for convenience store retailers, combined with their unified approach to optimizing supply chain processes, RELEX’s regional expertise and strength aligns seamlessly with our unique operational requirements, with local complexities and dynamic customer demands.”
“What impressed me most about the solution was how it evolved over time. Rather than giving up or using the classic consulting line of ‘that was not in scope,’ they continued to dig deeper into our process. I’m confident that implementing RELEX has already and will continue to improve our omnichannel product availability.”
"RELEX’s Workforce Optimization enables us to make shift planning more transparent and equitable for all our employees. Each employee gets their own mobile application which they can use to make requests for shifts. Employees are our most valuable asset, so we love that RELEX allows us to balance our employee’s workloads and ultimately drive even better customer service.”
“RELEX emerged as the clear choice for us due to a proven track record working with consumer goods companies, and commitment to supply chain innovation. We anticipate that this collaboration will not only enhance our demand planning and S&OP processes but also contribute to overall operational efficiency, ultimately benefiting our customers.”
“This automation has boosted our efficiency and significantly reduced food waste through more accurate and systematic ordering. Also, the ability to configure RELEX ourselves has been essential, enabling us to customize the system to our specific requirements without needing extensive coding knowledge.”
“We came to a point where we needed to bring all of our processes together, and RELEX is the right partner to help us do this, We have ambitious growth targets and need a system that can not only support our current needs, but can also provide us with flexibility and a futureproof solution.”
“As we commence the transformation of our merchandising systems, we believe there is an opportunity to enhance the way we design, execute and measure the effectiveness of pricing and promotions, We believe RELEX’s solutions will enable us to create innovative, insight-driven strategies that continuously improve our projected outcomes.”
