Atlanta — RELEX Solutions, a unified, AI-native platform for retail and supply chain planning, is partnering with Dollar General Corporation, a mass merchandising discount retailer, to implement forecasting, replenishment and allocation capabilities across its North American operations.
Dollar General operates more than 21,000 stores and 34 distribution centers, managing approximately 18,000 SKUs, and continues to expand its store footprint each year. To coordinate planning across this growing network, the company selected RELEX for a single system that handles forecasting, replenishment and allocation.
The AI-driven platform will manage store replenishment, ordering schedules, lead times, supplier coordination and fulfillment methods in one place. Sales patterns and other demand factors will be built directly into the planning process, allowing distribution centers and stores to work from the same data.
“We chose RELEX because it gives us a practical way to use AI in our planning and helps our teams focus on the issues that truly need attention,” says Jeff Vaughan, senior vice president of global inventory management at Dollar General.
“RELEX is built to run planning for retailers operating at this scale,” says Frank Lord, chief revenue officer at RELEX Solutions. “Dollar General’s scale and pace, with more than 21,000 stores and a complex distribution network, require planning that is reliable and straightforward.”
Trusted by more than 600 customers globally (including Circle K, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, PetSmart, The Home Depot, etc.) RELEX Solutions helps retailers, manufacturers and wholesalers plan, decide and act across demand, inventory, merchandising, pricing and supply chain operations.
