Through this partnership, RELEX will introduce end-to-end, integrated planning capabilities that will help PetSmart improve the accuracy of its demand forecasts, replenishment and allocation. The solution will help automate and enhance planning efficiency across operational areas, as demonstrated through RELEX’s X-Ray Data Analysis and business benefits case.
