Supermercados Bravo picks RELEX tech for demand forecasting, replenishment, and in-store space optimisation

Supermercados Bravo, a grocery store chain in the Dominican Republic, is partnering with RELEX Solutions as it looks to increase the accuracy of its demand forecasts, improve replenishment processes, and optimise in-store space for its fresh and ambient products.

The RELEX solution will be implemented in 23 supermarkets, three distribution centres, and three production centres.

Supermercados Bravo needed a solution that could automate and generate accurate demand forecasts and replenishment orders to improve its supply chain’s efficiency and support market growth.

Prior to choosing RELEX, its planning teams were using internally developed tools and processes, which required a significant amount of time and human resources.

Supermercados Bravo will now be able to generate store specific planograms to maximise space utilisation, optimise store operations, and drive increased sales.

While the forecasting and replenishment solution will help it improve product availability, enhance fresh inventory management, and reduce waste.

“Implementing an advanced solution like RELEX will help us continue our mission to be the best solution for consumers seeking the best product at the best price in the most timely manner,” comments Rafael Monestina, CEO at Supermercados Bravo.

“The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning will allow us to improve the efficiency of our processes, the availability of our product, and the satisfaction of our customers, all while reducing our overall costs.”

“We are excited to support Supermercados Bravo as leaders in the grocery market and help them continue to grow and scale their business,” says Carlos Victoria, Vice President at RELEX Solutions for the Americas.

“Our solution will significantly contribute to improving key processes in their supply chain, reducing waste, and further enhancing the great service their customers have come to know.”
