Medi-Market Group enlists RELEX for inventory control and product availability push

RELEX Solutions has been chosen by Medi-Market Group, a European health and well-being retailer, to advance forecasting and replenishment across its 200 stores and two distribution centres.

As the company has grown from Belgium and Luxembourg into Italy, and more recently into the Netherlands and Spain, it is taking the opportunity to modernise its planning processes to manage thousands of SKUs more efficiently. 

“Moving to RELEX will allow us to optimise control of our inventory and support exponential growth,” says Peter Bos, Director Supply Chain and CIO at Medi-Market Group. “Our priority is to balance strong in-store availability with responsible inventory investment. With RELEX, we expect quick wins in inventory capital reduction and improved availability that directly benefit our customers and store teams.” 

The tech will replace manual spreadsheet-based processes with automated, data driven forecasting and replenishment, providing visibility across Medi-Market’s supply chain and helping the company respond faster to changing customer demand.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Medi-Market Group, one of the most dynamic and fast-growing players in the European health and well-being sector,” says Bas van Lith, Director - Benelux at RELEX Solutions. “This collaboration reinforces RELEX’s growing presence in the Benelux region and our leadership in helping drugstore and pharmaceutical retailers strengthen their supply chain operations.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Supply chain technology was a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

VoCoVo, Everseen, Sensei, Gander, Iceland, Olio, Trust Retail, East of England Co-op, Lekkerland SE, Poq, Mamas & Papas, Varner, Sitoo, and Zebra Technologies were among our winners this year.

We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
