Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) has selected Relex solutions that are designed to optimize distribution center forecasting and replenishment, including optimizing for fresh products, across AWG’s network. The cooperative food wholesaler serves 1,100 supermarket member companies in 3,500 locations across 33 states from nine wholesale division support centers.
Because AWG works to balance freshness, availability and cost efficiency across a range of demand platforms, the company was seeking solutions with the scalability and automation required to improve forecasting accuracy, reduce waste and enhance member store performance. The unified Relex platform is designed to improve visibility across the supply chain, enabling more timely, data-driven decisions and closer collaboration with members stores and suppliers.
“As we continue to scale our operations, we needed a partner with deep expertise in both wholesale and fresh optimization around demand forecasting and replenishment,” said Tye Anthony, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer at AWG in a statement. “Relex’s unified and scalable platform provides AWG and our members with optimal in-stock positions and fresher products, and a more responsive, data-driven supply chain.”
In March 2024 Associated Wholesale Grocers expanded its partnership with Instacart to offer ecommerce and same-day delivery solutions to its member retailers.
