The retail media joint venture Unlimitail, founded by French retail giant Carrefour and French agency holding Publicis, has got off to a flying start: 13 other retail companies have already aligned themselves. With the joint business, Carrefour and Publicis want to conquer the growing retail media market in Europe and Latin America.

Douglas is piloting mobile checkout directly on the sales floor. Sales assistants use the S-Payment app on their smartphone. This is integrated with the GK POS software and allows PIN entry on the device's touchscreen.

US convenience store operator Casey's General Stores will use Relex Solutions to optimise inventory, demand planning and space planning.

Germany's largest retail organisation, Edeka Group, will optimise the orders and stocks of all its stores and distribution centres with the AI-based software platform of Relex. The decision represents a Copernican shift in the Edeka Group's IT strategy. Until now, the German retail giant has managed its inventory management systems exclusively with SAP and SAP partner solutions.

Douglas is set to optimise its product content consistently across stores and e-commerce using Bayard's Byrd platform. This will enable Europe's leading platform for premium beauty & health to achieve its aim of making the quality management of its product content more efficient and completing listings faster

Relex Solutions has acquired Formulate, a Swedish promotion planning and analytics company. One of the joint users of Formulate and Relex is the Swedish Coop, whose Värmland region is one of Relex's early customers in the field of inventory optimisation, but also staff planning.

British drugstore chain Boots is digitising its store processes with the Yoobic task management solution. Supported by an app, store staff can work more efficiently and offer customers a better shopping experience.

Douglas has chosen Relex to optimise its inventory along its entire supply chain and from a single source for its online and brick-and-mortar business. Hardly any software provider is currently reporting more success in retail than Relex. The Finnish specialist was able to report 33 new customers last year.
