Case Study: Kolonial.no (Oda) achieves 49% less spoilage and 25% higher inventory turnover with RELEX Solutions

Kolonial.no - Customer Case Study

Oda (formerly Kolonial.no) is Norway’s largest online fresh‑food retailer. Rapid growth exposed limits in its in‑house forecasting and replenishment: spoilage and out‑of‑stocks were too high, lifecycle and batch‑level management lacked visibility, and ordering/restocking consumed excessive time. The business needed granular, promotion‑ and season‑aware forecasting plus incoming‑goods visibility and shelf‑aware replenishment to reduce waste and improve operational efficiency.

Oda implemented RELEX with a fast, agile rollout, moving to day‑level forecasts, regression/ML‑backed promotions modeling, dynamic daily safety stocks, automated ordering and shelf‑capacity‑aware replenishment, and closer supplier collaboration. The result: spoiled‑products as a proportion of sales fell 49%, inventory turnover rose 25%, sales grew while availability was maintained, and incoming‑goods flow and workforce planning became significantly more stable and transparent.
