Coles Group is set to transform the way it replenishes stocks of fresh produce across its more than 850 supermarkets nationally with the help of a new cloud-based platform. The retailer said today it had struck a deal with Relex Solutions for the platform, which uses artificial intelligence algorithms to forecast demand based on a number of variables and to reduce waste, and automation to reduce manual effort. The Relex platform will be used across all supermarkets and the retailer’s seven fresh produce distribution centres.
