New Zealand’s largest retail group, The Warehouse Group is partnering up with tech solutions company, RELEX to enable supply chain transformation.
With the partnership, The Warehouse Group aims to improve aspects of its forecasting, replenishment and stock allocation across its five core brands, The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationary, Noel Leeming, Torpedo7 and TheMarket.com.
RELEX will be working across the 248 stores and distribution centres across New Zealand to drive “improved product availability and decreased inventory value”.
The partnership with RELEX follows an organisation-wide digital transformation The Warehouse Group set out on in 2019, replacing homegrown legacy systems that no longer meet the company’s needs.
The Warehouse Group will be using the RELEX’s automated forecasting and replenishment solution technology to achieve this goal.

CEO and Co-Founder of the company Mikko Kärkkäinen says the partnership marks the beginning of a significant expansion in the APAC area.
“We are very excited to be partnering with The Warehouse Group, our first customer in New Zealand and a significant retail organisation,” says Kärkkäinen.
“RELEX is well positioned to help The Warehouse Group improve availability for its diverse product assortment across their three banner groups.”
