Boxer taps RELEX Solutions Living Retail platform
Boxer, a Southern African discounter, has selected RELEX Solutions to implement forecasting and replenishment for its stores and distribution centres.
It will leverage the RELEX Living Retail solution in 300+ stores and five distribution centres, with the aim of improving availability and driving sales across all its activities.
Boxer previously used its own in-house systems to manage this area. However, it saw the opportunity with RELEX to implement a specialised system to support the company’s rapidly scaling needs.
The solution will automate previously time consuming processes while driving inventory reduction and improve availability in stores and distribution centres.
Boxer will utilise the tech to manage the complex needs of approximately 3,500 SKU’s across its commodity, groceries, butchery, bakery, health and beauty, non-foods, liquor and DIY categories within a single solution.
“Our mission is to make quality products and services available to our shoppers at market leading prices,” says Justin Galloway, Group Executive of Supply Chain at Boxer.
“We knew we wanted to invest long-term in a supply chain tool that could automate many of our processes as well as bring about improvements in availability and working capital.”
“RELEX will not only drive forecast accuracy and bring in machine learning and AI into the business, but also bring about efficiencies in Boxer’s supply chain planning.”
“We’re thrilled to expand for the first time into the South African market, and we’re extremely proud to be doing it with Boxer as our partner,” says Jason Berry, VP Sales for Central Europe and South Africa at RELEX.
“Boxer and RELEX share a commitment to translating efficiency and effectiveness into the best possible experience for end consumers.”
“We have the depth of experience needed to assist Boxer with its forward momentum and growth as a leading price point retailer with a large, complex assortment, and we’re eager to get to work with the company’s talented team.”
