Yliopiston Apteekki partners with RELEX and tamigo as it deploys end-to-end workforce solution

Finnish pharmacy chain Yliopiston Apteekki has announced an expansion of its partnership with RELEX Solutions, provider of supply chain and retail planning tech, and workforce management solution specialist tamigo.

RELEX has provided Yliopiston Apteekki with a forecasting and replenishment solution for its 17 pharmacies since 2015 and a distribution centre since 2018.

The company will expand its use of the offering to include workload forecasting and shift optimisation.

tamigo will be its new mobile friendly workforce management solution, integrating time and attendance into  existing HR and payroll systems, while also enabling the benchmarking of company wide KPIs.  

“With the new end-to-end solution, Yliopiston Apteekki can leverage machine learning to generate accurate workload forecasts and optimal shifts,” says Sami Laine, HR Director at Yliopiston Apteekki.

“It also empowers our employees to carry out their essential workforce functions, such as shift swapping, time and attendance and absence management, with ease.”  

Yliopiston Apteekki formerly relied on a more manual planning process with no automation possibilities. RELEX and tamigo were chosen to replace the old workforce management system due to their AI driven forecasting and shift optimisation capabilities, flexibility, and ease of use.   

”We are proud to expand our long-term partnership with Yliopiston Apteekki,” says Emma Aidanpää-Salmi, Vice President, Customer Success at RELEX. “This expansion is a great example of our broad unified solution offering that tamigo complements so well.”   

“We are thrilled to start a long-term collaboration with Yliopiston Apteekki,” says Caj Forsman, Country Manager, tamigo Finland.

“It demonstrates the value of the combined offering of RELEX and tamigo for companies who want the benefits of the full workforce management experience, from advanced forecasting over employee engagement to the automated payroll process.”
