Flowlity vs RELEX Solutions (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Flowlity if

• Fits if you are a mid-sized distributor or maker with an ERP and a stock planning problem
• Makes sense if you want forecasts that size safety stock

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
• Watch out: the trial's length and limits are not stated
• Watch out: a data feed to your ERP has to be set up first
• Too light for large store networks, by the vendor's own FAQ

Pick RELEX Solutions if

• Fits if you run a large retail or wholesale chain with a planning team
• Makes sense if you want forecasting, replenishment and pricing from one vendor

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you are a small business, as it is aimed at enterprises
• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
• Watch out: confirm which of its many modules a quote covers
• Watch out: no free plan or trial is shown, only demos

Flowlity

• No prices are published and the vendor has no public pricing page; buyers book a demo.
• The vendor says the product connects to ERPs by API, SFTP or EDI, so a data feed has to be set up.
• Flowlity's own FAQ says it has less depth than RELEX in shelf-level merchandising for very large store networks.
• Some modules, such as assortment planning and the Co-Planner, are marked as new.

RELEX Solutions

• No price is published; the site's call to action is to request a demo.
• It is positioned at enterprises, so a small business is unlikely to be its target buyer.
• The platform spans many modules, so a buyer should confirm which ones a quote covers.
