Dollar Tree Inc. has established an alliance with Relex Solutions to introduce logistics and information transfer between stores and to assist teams responsible for central planning.
Andy Paisley, Chief Information Officer for Dollar Tree stated, "Relex has proven to be more configurable than other solutions in its field allowing our planners to have full visibility into and control of our supply chain".
Frank Lord, Chief Revenue Officer at Relex stated, "We have deep experience with the challenges specific to price-point retailers and we look forward to sharing our expertise as we help them improve in-store availability while lowering inventory balances across their supply chain".
Currently Dollar Tree is expanding the Dollar Tree Plus initiative and establishing combo store formats with Dollar Tree and Family Dollar locations combined. Shortage of labor since the onset of COVID, supply chain disruptions and competitive factors have created an environment in which retailers and chains are more receptive to automation and mechanization.
Dollar Tree operates 15,700 stores in 48 states and five Canadian provinces and is ranked 30th on the Progressive Grocer PG100 list.
