Delivery Hero selects RELEX Solutions for supply chain visibility push

European online food delivery venture Delivery Hero is partnering with RELEX Solutions to optimise its supply chain planning across all product categories.

RELEX’s AI driven forecasting and replenishment solution will service the company’s quick commerce across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East.

“After a market evaluation and vendor comparison, we recognised RELEX’s proven track record with similar retailers in grocery e-commerce and their adaptability and capability to scale with our rapid growth,” says Raffaele Alessandro Turturro, Global Supply Chain Director at Delivery Hero.

“RELEX provides us with improved supply chain visibility across all of our regions as well as improved long-term inventory planning to support our goals of reducing waste while improving product availability.”

Glovo deal

Last month, Spanish q-commerce startup Glovo announced an agreement with Delivery Hero to acquire some of its companies in Central and Eastern Europe.

Glovo will buy the foodpanda brand in Romania and Bulgaria, the Donesi brand in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Pauza in Croatia in deals worth €170 million.

Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder, Delivery Hero, commented: “We have built a clear leading business in the Balkan region in the last couple of years.”

“However, with a lot of operational priorities on our plate, we believe Glovo would be better positioned to continue building an amazing experience for our customers in this region.”
