Lipari Foods has selected RELEX Solutions to transform its supply chain planning and improve replenishment across its distribution center. 

Lipari will use the RELEX AI-driven platform and Advanced Diagnostics to manage more than 23,000 SKUs across grocery, deli, bakery, natural and specialty categories.

Lipari Foods supplies thousands of retailers with a wide assortment of fresh, natural, ethnic, and specialty foods. Managing such a broad range of fast-moving products requires dependable insight into demand and inventory positions, especially for categories with shorter shelf lives. The company needed a planning tool that helps teams understand where spoilage and stockout risks are emerging so they can respond quickly and maintain availability across all departments.

Lipari Foods will deploy a wide range of RELEX capabilities, including integrated supply chain planning, replenishment, intraday recalculations, wholesale channel, seasonal, and capacity planning, and fresh optimization. The company will also adopt Advanced Diagnostics from RELEX for AI-assisted spoilage, stockout and inventory analysis. RELEX Diagnostics will help planners identify issues earlier, understand the drivers behind waste and availability problems, and make faster, more informed decisions. Lipari Foods will also use supplier collaboration tools for key partners. 

"Our business is growing, and we need planning tools that keep up with the pace and complexity of our operation," said Shaun Bunch, chief supply chain officer at Lipari Foods. "We manage a wide range of fresh and specialty products, so having reliable forecasts, automation that reduces manual work, and better visibility into future inventory needs makes a real difference. RELEX's diagnostics also help us spot spoilage or service risks early, which helps our teams act faster. It's an important step in how we serve our customers."
