RELEX Solutions is a Finnish retail- and supply-chain-optimization software company, headquartered in Helsinki, whose platform helps grocers, retailers and consumer brands forecast demand, plan replenishment and cut waste. RELEX runs a Lisbon tech hub at Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar 122, opened in autumn 2021 as a direct extension of its Finnish engineering team.
RELEX builds optimisation software that retailers and consumer-goods companies use to manage the whole chain — from supplier orders and distribution to in-store availability and markdowns — with the explicit goals of improving profitability and reducing waste. It is one of Finland’s most successful enterprise-software exports, used by retailers across Europe and North America.
Its Lisbon tech hub on Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar opened in autumn 2021 and functions as a genuine extension of the Helsinki engineering organisation, with teams working on the core retail-optimisation platform. The two-hour time difference is bridged by adjusted meeting hours, and Lisbon’s talent pool has let RELEX scale technical headcount quickly.
RELEX is a model of the Nordic-to-Portugal engineering-hub play: a Finnish software leader choosing Lisbon not as a sales outpost but as a product and engineering centre. It is exactly the kind of high-value, sticky corridor investment — talent, not just trade — that defines the Nordics → Portugal flow.
Fractio helps Nordic companies enter the Portuguese market — from market sizing to first sales, hiring, and legal setup.
