Biggest retail tech events of the past week – Retail Technology Innovation Hub

UVESCO Group

Spanish food retailer, UVESCO Groupchose RELEX Solutions to optimize and unify its supply chain.

The UVESCO Group is well known for its BM and Super Amara supermarket chains. It has 331 stores in Spain, seven distribution centers and over 16,000 SKUs.

The company recognized the need to evolve its supply chain strategy and selected RELEX for its range of AI-powered forecasting and replenishment capabilities to optimize inventory management, supply chain planning and demand forecasting.

“We are convinced that we made the right decision by entrusting RELEX as our technology partner and advisor as we move from manual supply chain processes to a more advanced approach to managing fresh produce from store to store,” says Miguel Carrero, Chief Technology Officer at UVESCO Group.

“This strategic move is key to supporting our rapid regional growth while enhancing our operational excellence and delivering the highest level of customer service.”

Komodo Fashion

Komodo Fashion partners with sizing technology specialist Makip to reduce online purchase returns.

Komodo Brand Manager Tony Mountford was looking for an online sizing specialist but couldn’t find a partner who met his needs.

He says: “I first became interested in online sizing technology about five years ago, but then I discovered that the technology requires a lot of effort from us.”

“The vendors offered good features, but others were less important to us – we simply felt it was not the right time to invest.”

“Online shopping behavior has definitely changed, with many people shopping in clothing stores now ordering the same item in two or more sizes.”

Matalan

Clothing and household goods retailer Matalan launched a new website with job offers.

We worked with Genius with the aim to create “a fresh, modern and engaging experience that reflects our brand and promotes everything about a career and life at Matalan.”

The site includes a number of new features designed to enhance the candidate experience, including employee testimonials, videos, news and events, and highlights about the retailer’s values ​​and culture.

The offer has become more accessible with Recite Me, so everyone can customize the site to their needs.

“This is another fantastic milestone in our ongoing transformation journey,” says Jo Whitfield, CEO and founder of Matalan.

“The new site aims to be more engaging and accessible, reflecting our values ​​and the Matalan brand. I would like to say a huge thank you to the talented team at Genius and a huge compliment to all our colleagues at Matalan who made this possible.”
