Booths, a UK regional supermarket, deployed RELEX to improve fresh goods ordering, bakery replenishment, and promotion forecasting. The system enabled daily supplier orders based on real-time inventory, weather-adjusted demand profiles, and store-specific allocation rules. Results included reduced spoilage, higher availability, and tighter integration between stores and distribution centers.

Key takeaways

SKU and store-level forecasting replaced manual bakery and produce ordering

Promotion forecasts now factor promotion type, discount, fixture, and store range

Weather events are tagged and applied to future demand profiles for faster reaction

DC replenishment is driven by store sales, display minimums, and end-consumer forecasts

Spoilage in fresh categories fell 20% while availability reached top-3 UK supermarket ranking
