Müller taps RELEX Solutions tech as part of digitalisation strategy

German drugstore chain Müller is expanding its partnership with RELEX Solutions to include replenishment of its four distribution centres in Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, and Spain.

The deal will also cover smooth delivery flows for goods receiving, thereby increasing product availability, particularly during seasons with high business volumes.

Müller had already been using RELEX for both demand forecasting and store replenishment in its 879 stores throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Spain.

It says that expansion of the partnership will enable it to “establish an exception-based, integrated supply chain and to determine the ideal balance between inventory and high product availability, which, due to our unique assortment of 190,000 items, is a key factor for the company’s success.”

“For months, we have been pushing ahead with the digitalisation of our company in all areas at full speed,” says Dr. Günther Helm, CEO at Müller Holding.

“Our latest move to establish an integrated supply chain represents another important milestone in our strategic partnership with RELEX.”
