PLUS Retail opts to expand partnership with RELEX Solutions in support of PLUS-COOP merger

PLUS Retail is expanding its partnership with RELEX Solutions in support of its PLUS-COOP merger as it looks to further optimise the end-to-end supply chain as well as implement an automated space management solution and enable mobile delivery of space plans.  

PLUS Retail’s stores and distribution centres have used the RELEX unified supply chain planning solution since 2020.

In 2022, it merged with COOP Netherlands and will be converting COOP stores into the PLUS Retail format through 2025. Following the merger, PLUS decided to expand the use of the RELEX solution to include space and floor planning.

The solutions will be implemented across all future PLUS formats and stores as well as all distribution centres, including the newly built fully automated DC in Oss, throughout the Netherlands.  

“We are proud to strengthen our relationship with PLUS Retail and extend the scope of the solution to optimise their space planning. We are committed to supporting them as they continue to rapidly grow their business and are confident that our solution will unlock new efficiencies and benefits to their operations and space plans,” says Mikko Kärkkäinen, RELEX’s Group CEO. 

“The trust we have in RELEX, not only in their exceptional solutions but also in our relationship, has given us the confidence to move forward with this project. It’s this trust that makes PLUS feel comfortable.”

“With RELEX by our side, we know we’re in capable hands, paving the way for a smooth and successful journey ahead,” says Rowell Versleijen, PLUS Retail’s Director of Supply Chain
