Overview
RELEX Solutions builds a unified retail and supply chain planning platform that combines demand forecasting, inventory and supply chain planning, allocation and replenishment, pricing and promotion management, and workforce scheduling into a single system. The company markets the platform primarily to grocery retailers, general merchandise and fashion retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers, positioning it as an alternative to stitching together multiple point solutions for planning.
Founded in Helsinki in 2005 by Mikko Kärkkäinen, Johanna Småros and Michael Falck, RELEX has expanded into a global company with more than 2,300 employees in roughly 20 offices worldwide as of 2026. The company has taken on growth capital from TCV (2019) and Blackstone Growth (2022), and in December 2024 Blackstone Growth and TCV increased their stakes by purchasing shares from early investor Summit Partners, which exited after nearly a decade as a shareholder. RELEX has continued to grow through 2025 and into 2026, reporting its 76th consecutive quarter of year-over-year ARR growth in its second-quarter 2026 results.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
