RELEX won separate planning mandates from Eucatex in Brazil and Factors Group in North America and Australia, covering demand, inventory, distribution and production planning across 1,300 and 9,000 SKUs respectively.
RELEX Solutions said Eucatex S.A. will deploy demand, inventory and distribution planning across its Brazilian construction materials business, while Factors Group of Nutritional Companies Inc. will implement RELEX's unified planning platform across demand, inventory and production planning. Eucatex cited rising inventory pressure on working capital, growing portfolio complexity and spreadsheet-based processes across more than 1,300 SKUs; Factors Group said legacy systems, spreadsheets and reporting tools had become harder to scale across about 9,000 SKUs, four distribution centers, and manufacturing sites in Canada, the United States and Australia.
