RELEX Named In Gartner Magic Quadrant For Supply Chain Planning

KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 (Bernama) -- RELEX Solutions, a provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, has been recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

In a statement, RELEX said this recognition marks the first time the company has been placed in the Leaders Quadrant, just three years after being included in this report for the first time in 2022.

“We feel being recognised as a Leader in this report affirms our unwavering commitment to delivering measurable value and innovation that transforms supply chain planning through a truly unified platform for retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and consumer goods companies.

“We deliver on our promises, offering an unmatched combination of AI-powered retail-scale demand planning, demand and supply optimisation, and production scheduling in a single platform, helping businesses tackle the most intricate supply chain challenges,” said RELEX Solutions group chief executive officer and co-founder, Mikko Kärkkäinen.

RELEX believes this recognition highlights the strength, scalability, and unified platform the company offers, integrating demand and supply across the entire value chain to drive smarter decisions, greater efficiency, and seamless collaboration across all functions.

The RELEX platform has been rooted in artificial intelligence (AI) since the company’s inception, enabling highly accurate supply chain optimisation, seamlessly aligning master planning, demand forecasting and sensing, replenishment, allocation, and production scheduling within a single data model.

Key capabilities include AI-driven demand planning using machine learning (ML)-forecasting and demand sensing to anticipate and respond to market fluctuations, in addition to integrated production, purchasing, and distribution planning to align supply with real-time demand.

The platform also features advanced production scheduling for manufacturing, enabling efficiency gains across complex production environments, and advanced diagnostics to identify root causes of supply chain inefficiencies, enabling proactive resolution and continuous improvement.

RELEX is also pushing forward with new ideas in generative AI and agentic AI, along with special AI methods that enhance the platform's ability to be flexible, cut down on waste, and connect strategic goals with everyday operations.
