Altoona-based Sheetz, a major restaurant and convenience store chain across the Mid-Atlantic, recently partnered with RELEX Solutions, a provider of retail optimization software, to help position Sheetz for store growth, supply chain growth, and dynamic product marketing opportunities.
The partnership will also enable the company to unify aspects of its demand planning processes to ensure the efficient flow of products from suppliers to stores.
“We are excited to partner with RELEX to optimize our supply chain management,” Bill Ruggles, Sheetz director of procurement, said. “By partnering with RELEX, our corporate demand planners have the ability to improve processes that support our distribution and inventory management strategies. RELEX will ultimately help ensure Sheetz customers have what they want, when they want it, 24/7/365.”
Sheetz selected RELEX because of the company’s adaptable, unified supply chain management solution. The tool will improve collaboration and visibility throughout Sheetz’s vertically integrated network and support demand planning across its supply chain network within a single system.
The company employs more than 23,000 people and operates more than 630 locations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.
RELEX Solutions has more than 350 customers and has offices across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. Its tools help retailers adapt to the future.
