Booths, a 29-store regional UK supermarket, implemented RELEX supply chain planning to manage 13,000 SKUs across chilled, fresh, frozen, and ambient categories. The system improved promotion forecasting, weather-based planning, and DC-to-store allocation while integrating with existing systems. Results included lower spoilage, higher shelf availability, and top-three ranking in UK supermarket availability surveys.

Key takeaways

Spoilage reduced 10% overall and over 20% for chilled products

Shelf availability improved to top-three ranking among UK supermarkets

Promotion and weather event forecasting enabled through event-specific profiles

Rapid 4-month rollout across all stores and categories starting with chilled goods
