Mass merchandising discount retailer to deploy AI-based planning capabilities across distribution centers and stores

ATLANTA, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RELEX Solutions, a unified, AI-native platform for retail and supply chain planning, is partnering with Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG), a mass merchandising discount retailer, to implement forecasting, replenishment, and allocation capabilities across its North American operations.

Dollar General operates more than 21,000 stores and 34 distribution centers, managing approximately 18,000 SKUs, and continues to expand its store footprint each year. To coordinate planning across this growing network, the company selected RELEX for a single system that handles forecasting, replenishment, and allocation.

The AI-driven platform will manage store replenishment, ordering schedules, lead times, supplier coordination, and fulfillment methods in one place. Sales patterns and other demand factors will be built directly into the planning process, allowing distribution centers and stores to work from the same data.

"The platform brings forecasting, replenishment, and allocation planning into a single environment, giving our teams greater visibility across the network."
