Blackstone led a €500m ($567m) funding round in RELEX Solutions, a data-driven software. “Retail and supply chain planning used to be dominated by incumbents and their legacy technologies, but RELEX’s growth into a market leader shows that the industry is ready for a change. We are proud to welcome Blackstone, with their unparalleled experience in the field, on our journey as we redouble our commitment to both technological innovation and our vision for truly unified planning,” Mikko Kärkkäinen, RELEX Solutions CEO and Co-Founder.
