An after-markets parts manufacturer will use the RELEX platform to streamline efficiency and optimize inventory.
ATLANTA—The after-market parts manufacturer Camco recently selected RELEX Solutions to implement a software platform that unifies demand, supply, and inventory planning, Camco stated in a release.
Camco’s decision to implement the RELEX software is said to align with and enable its goal to work more closely with its customers. In addition to enabling collaboration with key customers on forecasting, the software leverages machine learning (ML) to support advances in Camco’s demand planning processes, further improving product availability while streamlining costs, the company said.
The RELEX platform will serve Camco’s three distribution centers throughout the United States. It is expected to substantially enhance forecast accuracy and ensure optimized production.
“The system will ensure that the right products are produced in the right quantity to meet their demand, while maintaining the ideal level of safety stock,” the release stated.
The software is also expected to help transform Camco’s sales and operations planning processes. The transition from spreadsheet-based, manual planning to an automated and scalable platform is a key part of the company’s IT transformation strategy.
“With RELEX, Camco will be able to produce more accurate demand forecasts, improve collaboration with key retail customers, and optimize inventory levels across approximately 4,000 SKUs,” Camco stated in the release.
By automating these processes, Camco aims to reduce manual interventions, improve service levels, and more efficiently manage seasonal demand fluctuations—all aligned with its goal to achieve higher product availability and align inventory with company objectives.
“Our decision to select RELEX Solutions is a positive step in Camco’s IT transformation,” said Camco Chief Operating Officer Danielle Conner, in a statement. “RELEX offers us the advanced technology and supply chain expertise that we need to further improve our forecast accuracy, optimize production, and reduce inventory costs, all of which is allowing us to better serve our customers.”
RELEX partner London Consulting Group will facilitate the implementation, using its manufacturing expertise to assist Camco with its supply chain transformation.
“London Consulting Group is thrilled to support Camco in enhancing their forecasting processes and strengthening alignment with crucial customers,” stated Daniel Campos, CEO of London Consulting Group, in the release. “We are assisting top-tier manufacturers, such as Camco, in maximizing the advantages of collaborating through the RELEX platform to eliminate waste in the supply chain.”
“We’re pleased to bring the proven success of RELEX in forecasting accuracy and adaptable, no-code planning solutions to Camco’s supply chain,” said Mikko Kärkkäinen, CEO and co-founder of RELEX Solutions, in the release. “Camco’s commitment to operational excellence and growth reflects a shared vision, and we look forward to supporting them in delivering value to their customers and retail partners both now and in the future.”
