  "account": "Sydney, Australia, Aug. 24, 2026 - Furniture retailer Amart Furniture has chosen RELEX Solutions to replace its outdated planning system with an AI-driven forecasting and replenishment platform across its 66 stores and four distribution centers. The new RELEX AI-native planning platform aims to enhance forecast accuracy, boost product availability, cut inventory costs, and streamline planning processes. Amart sells over 2,000 products, ranging from sofas and dining sets to home décor and signature collections. Its previous planning process was hampered by manual labor and spreadsheet usage, making it challenging to swiftly adapt to shifting demand and support the company's expansion. With the new RELEX system, Amart will be capable of forecasting demand at both the distribution center and store levels, taking into account factors like delivered-sales timing and pre-sold quantities to ensure consistent service levels and a smoother flow of incoming inventory. Prior to this, container optimization was a manual and expensive task; however, RELEX will optimize purchase orders based on fill, weight, and volume constraints to create cost-effective import loads. Moreover, the system will continuously learn from the discrepancy between anticipated and actual supplier lead times, automatically adjusting safety stock and order timing to minimize Amart's planning teams' time spent managing supply uncertainty and instead focus on strategic decisions. Gary Draper, Amart's Planning Manager, expressed that they sought a planning platform capable of keeping pace with their business and providing their teams with increased confidence in their daily decisions. Draper noted that RELEX distinguished itself by effectively managing the complexity of their supply chain while allowing for adaptability as their business evolves. \"We're excited to build a stronger planning foundation that will support both our operations and our customers,\" Draper said. Rod Talbot, VP APAC at RELEX Solutions, highlighted the company's ability to tackle the unique supply chain challenges faced by furniture retailers, such as container optimization, variable lead times, and seasonal demand. Talbot stated that RELEX is eager to collaborate with Amart to introduce this level of precision to their planning and empower their teams to make faster, more confident decisions.
