About RELEX Solutions
RELEX Solutions provides an AI-native, unified platform for supply chain and retail planning, used by retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and consumer packaged goods manufacturers to improve forecast accuracy, optimize inventory, and plan operations end-to-end, from raw materials to the store shelf. Rather than treating demand planning, inventory, pricing, and space as separate systems, RELEX combines every signal, demand, supply, pricing, and promotions, into a single model, so decisions in one area automatically account for what's happening elsewhere in the business.
The platform is organized around five core solution areas: Demand Planning (including demand sensing and connected planning for manufacturers), Inventory & Replenishment (end-to-end inventory, fresh inventory, automatic replenishment, and omnichannel planning), Retail Operations (workload forecasting, store execution, predictive inventory, and space and assortment tools like planogram optimization), Pricing & Promotions (deal management, price optimization, and markdown pricing), and Strategic Planning (Integrated Business Planning and S&OE/S&OP). In 2026, RELEX introduced its agentic AI capabilities under "Meet the Agents," moving beyond dashboards and alerts toward AI agents that autonomously identify and act on planning opportunities, closing what RELEX calls the gap between knowing and doing in retail planning.
Founded in 2005 in Helsinki, Finland by supply chain scientists Mikko Kärkkäinen, Johanna Småros, and Michael Falck, RELEX has grown into a global company with roughly 2,300+ employees across 21+ countries and has raised over $800 million in funding, reaching unicorn status in 2022. It serves 500+ customers including Lowe's, AutoZone, PetSmart, Family Dollar, Sheetz, Rossmann, and ICA Sweden, and has been recognized as a Leader in both the Nucleus Research Enterprise Supply Chain Planning Value Matrix (two consecutive years) and Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning.

Pros
- Unified platform connects demand, inventory, pricing, and space planning in one data model instead of disconnected point solutions
- Refined across 600+ enterprise implementations, giving its forecasting models substantial real-world validation

Cons
- No public pricing — enterprise implementations require a sales conversation and custom quote based on scope and modules
- Built for large-scale operations; a solo retailer or small independent store will find it far more platform than they need
- Implementation is a significant undertaking involving multiple modules (demand planning, inventory, pricing, space, etc.), typically requiring dedicated internal resources and change management
- Full value depends on clean historical sales, inventory, and supply data being available and well-integrated across systems
- Broad modular scope (demand, inventory, pricing, space, workforce, IBP) means new users face a real learning curve navigating which modules apply to their role
Pricing
RELEX Solutions does not publish public pricing. It operates on a custom, quote-based enterprise pricing model where cost depends on which modules a business licenses (demand planning, inventory and replenishment, retail operations, pricing and promotions, and/or strategic planning), the scale and complexity of the deployment, and the number of locations, SKUs, or channels being planned. Prospective customers must request a demo through RELEX's website to receive a tailored quote based on their specific supply chain and retail planning needs.
