Monoprix connects with RELEX Solutions to use AI powered forecasting and replenishment across 400 stores

Monoprix, a French retail chain and part of the Casino Group, has selected RELEX Solutions and Accenture as it looks to transform the planning and replenishment of its textile, home, and leisure categories.

Within a few months, RELEX tech will service the entire store network (400 stores) and two distribution centres with the goal of driving increased global revenue and margin through AI powered demand forecasting and replenishment.

Monoprix is known for its wide variety of products, including food, fashion, beauty, and home goods. It has over 30,000 SKUs and operates several smaller store format brands including Monoprix and Monop. By leveraging AI, it says it will be better placed to manage its mix of permanent and seasonal items, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability by reducing waste through excess inventory.

“Partnering with RELEX Solutions will enhance our planning capabilities through advanced AI technology,” says Lilian Rosas, Deputy General Manager, Monoprix. “Their solution and expertise will help us achieve better forecasting, improved allocation, and increased margins. Automating our replenishment processes will ensure our customers find the products they need while optimising inventory management and reducing waste.”

“We are pleased to support Monoprix in optimising their supply chain and product planning,” says Jason Berry, Senior Vice President Sales EMEA, RELEX Solutions. “Our solution’s flexibility and focus on delivering business benefits will help Monoprix enhance operational efficiency and profitability. By leveraging advanced AI for forecasting and automating replenishment, we aim to provide Monoprix with the tools to improve margins and ensure product availability, particularly in the dynamic fashion sector.”

“Agile, digital supply chain networks can drive growth and profitability in challenging times of ongoing disruption,” says Laurent Thoumine, Accenture’s Retail lead for Europe. “Together with RELEX, we are helping organisations like Monoprix reinvent their supply chains to build resilience and unlock new levels of agility to meet the expectations of customers and drive strong growth.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

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

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
