porta selects RELEX Solutions for supply chain management project
German omnichannel furniture retailer, porta group, is partnering with RELEX Solutions, to automate and integrate its supply chain planning.
RELEX will establish an end-to-end forecasting and replenishment planning process across porta’s supply chain, servicing five distribution centres, 28 porta stores in Germany, and 140 stores under the SB-Möbel BOSS brand in Germany and ASKO brand in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as the brands’ corresponding online stores.
The retailer, which has an annual turnover of approximately $1.5 billion, will use RELEX’s tech to manage its full assortment, which includes up to 30,000 SKUs per store and channel.
Tapping its AI-based technology, RELEX will automate porta’s replenishment processes, with the aim of improving efficiency, reducing inventory levels, and lowering the costs of handling, storage, and transport. This will also increase product availability.
“With RELEX, we are significantly enhancing our capabilities in terms of speed, reliability, transparency, data consistency, and level of automation for the supply chain requirements of the present and the future,” says Dr. Andreas Brinkhoff, Managing Director of Logistics at the porta group.
“We expect the software to give us the flexibility in terms of process customisation and implementation speed that we will need today and in the years to come,” adds Matthias Stromberg, Head of Omnichannel at porta.
