RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, has announced that it has acquired Optimity, a supply chain planning and optimization provider. The acquisition will bolster the RELEX retail and supply chain platform with daily production planning, optimization, and production scheduling capabilities which are crucial for the end-to-end consumer goods value chain.
