PriceSmart replaces legacy system and picks RELEX Solutions for supply chain and retail planning strategies initiative
PriceSmart, an operator of membership warehouse clubs in Central America, the Caribbean, and Colombia, has chosen RELEX Solutions to enhance its supply chain and retail planning strategies.
PriceSmart has a complex product assortment, including ambient and fresh products, and a challenging supply chain spanning 12 countries, each with unique requirements.
The RELEX solution will be implemented across its 52 clubs throughout Central America, the Caribbean, and Colombia, aiming to reduce inefficiencies while improving their forecast accuracy, product availability, operational cost savings, and overall efficiency.
PriceSmart is undergoing a strategic transition in its back office systems and processes and will consolidate its forecasting, replenishment, and promotions planning onto the RELEX platform.
