Jokr boosts planning processes with RELEX Solutions tech
Rapid grocery delivery startup Jokr has partnered with RELEX Solutions to implement demand forecasting, replenishment, space planning, and workload forecasting across its nearly 100 hubs worldwide.
It says that incorporating the RELEX Living Retail Platform into its core operations will boost planning efficiency, reduce inventory, and increase product availability.
Additionally, the tech will enable accurate workload forecasting for employees in the hubs as well as delivery associates, driving more efficient picking and reduction in delivery time.

Jokr’s planning previously relied heavily on manual, time consuming processes.
The venture currently operates in the likes of Vienna, Warsaw, New York, São Paulo, Mexico City, Bogota, and Lima, and has plans for more expansion over the coming years.
“Speed is crucial in our market segment,” says Jens Kilimann, VP Global Supply Chain at Jokr. “As a very young and internationally growing company, we depend on perfect planning processes. From RELEX, we expect a significant reduction in central planning effort and inventory.”
“At the same time, the solution establishes more efficient workflows across all processes and helps us to always offer our customers the highest availability and fastest delivery.”
