Case Study: Blendwell Food Group achieves higher forecast accuracy and service levels with RELEX Solutions

Blendwell boosts forecast accuracy and service levels with end-to-end planning solution

Blendwell Food Group, a Netherlands-based producer and packer of dried fruits and nuts for retailers across Europe, needed to scale its planning and S&OP capabilities as it grew. Its manual spreadsheet-based process was slow, labor-intensive, and lacked the visibility needed to manage a complex supply chain across factories, warehouses, and distribution centers. Blendwell turned to RELEX Solutions and its implementation partner for an end-to-end planning solution.

RELEX Solutions implemented demand forecasting and integrated supply chain optimization to replace Excel-based planning with a more automated, real-time system. The solution enabled Blendwell to model materials, production, storage, distribution, and labor constraints in one plan, improving forecast accuracy and customer service levels by 5-10% each within three months. Blendwell also reported reduced waste, faster planning, and stronger scenario planning and S&OP visibility with RELEX Solutions.
