DCS Group UK, CPG supply chain partner and manufacturer of FMCG brands in the UK and official distributor for P&G, Unilever, Colgate-Palmolive, J&J, and SC Johnson, has chosen RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, to automate and optimise its supply chain processes. The project will be delivered by Supply Chain Company, a long-standing RELEX partner, which specialises in digitalising and accelerating supply chains.
DCS hosts 2,700 SKUs in its product range with five major customer channels and has an annual turnover of £318 million in 2022. The RELEX solution will be implemented over a five-month period at their distribution centre, to optimise stock levels, automate and streamline customer-level forecasting, and reduce inventory.
The CPG supply chain partner and manufacturer has seen rapid growth in the past year. To effectively scale and optimise operations, automated supply chain processes were needed. The new integrated system from RELEX uses AI and machine learning-based analytics and replaces DCS Group’s previous arrangement of manual spreadsheet processes.
Commenting on the deal, Jonathan Berry, CFO at DCS Group UK, said: “RELEX has a well-earned reputation based on their in-depth understanding of the retail convenience and grocery sector, enhancing relationships between CPG companies and their customers. This includes the performance of their technology solutions to create actionable S&OP plans that enhance service levels, cut excess stock, and increase efficiency. RELEX was the natural choice to meet DCS Group’s operational needs.”
