# Duvo Compare

Duvo is built for retail, FMCG, and CPG teams whose work crosses SAP, supplier portals, spreadsheets, email, files, approvals, and exceptions. It maps the real process, improves the operating model, and runs governed agents against that approved way of working.

## Positioning Boundary

Do not claim that competitors lack agents, governance, orchestration, audit trails, or human control. ServiceNow, Salesforce Agentforce, UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Workato, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, n8n, Zapier, Make, LangGraph, Temporal, CrewAI, and OpenAI Agents SDK all cover meaningful parts of the modern agentic automation stack.

Duvo wins when the buyer needs one operating layer that starts with real process truth, improves the process before automation, governs execution against the approved map, applies retail and CPG domain skills, and runs the outcome across the existing retail/FMCG/CPG stack.

Duvo is built for retail, FMCG, and CPG teams whose work crosses SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, ERP, supplier portals, spreadsheets, email, files, approvals, and exceptions.

## Where Duvo Wins

- Operating truth: Duvo Clarity captures how supplier, inventory, finance, category, and compliance work actually happens across systems, screens, documents, interviews, handoffs, and exceptions.
- A better process: Duvo does not treat the current path as sacred. It identifies what should be redesigned, automated, approved, escalated, or left with a human before agents are put in production.
- Compliance by map: The approved process map becomes the control surface for execution: allowed actions, exception catalogues, evidence requirements, approval gates, and operating rules.
- Real-stack execution: Duvo Automation can run the improved process across ERP, SAP, supplier portals, email, spreadsheets, files, browser and desktop systems, humans, and specialist agents.

## Process truth before automation

They need to know how the work really runs, where the process is broken, which exceptions matter, which decisions need approval, and what evidence must exist before the case can close. Duvo starts there, then turns that approved model into agent work.

- Capture: Map the live process. Capture recordings, interviews, documents, system evidence, handoffs, rework loops, and exception paths instead of relying on the written SOP alone.
- Improve: Decide the operating model. Separate routine agent work from redesign, review, escalation, policy gates, commercial judgment, and human ownership before shipping automation.
- Run: Run cases against the map. Turn the process into assignments, queues, tools, evidence checks, approval states, specialist handoffs, writebacks, and audit history.

## Mapped-Process Compliance

- Approved process map: The target workflow, exception catalogue, system responsibilities, decision thresholds, and human gates become the reference model for execution.
- Evidence requirements: Runs can collect files, messages, system checks, screenshots, exported tables, approvals, and decision notes before closing a case.
- Exception ownership: When work diverges from the map, Duvo routes to the right queue, specialist skill, or reviewer with context attached.
- Audit-ready outcome: The completed case keeps the result, writeback, tool calls, source files, approvals, and decision trail together.

## Enterprise Agent Control For Real Operations

- Case queues and ownership
- Human approvals and gates
- SAP, ERP, and system access
- Files and evidence packs
- Schedules and webhooks
- Specialist agent handoffs
- Policy and operating rules
- Replayable run history

## Retail and CPG tools and skills

The platform is designed for the kinds of work category, procurement, supply chain, finance, and compliance teams actually run: replenishment, inventory health, input-cost shifts, supplier discovery, label checks, competitive moves, and SAP-backed procurement data.

- Automatic ordering: Forecast-to-order workflows with validation gates for forecast quality, inventory position, supplier constraints, budget, logistics, business rules, and external signals.
- Inventory optimization: Network inventory analysis for overstock, understock, stockout risk, dead stock, service levels, days of supply, and prioritized action plans.
- Input cost monitoring: Commodity and raw-material monitoring for dairy, bakery, produce, proteins, beverages, and household categories, tied back to supplier prices and contracts.
- Grocery should-cost: Bottom-up cost models for dairy, bakery, pastry, snacks, confectionery, and frozen products using materials, conversion, packaging, logistics, and supplier margin.
- Supplier discovery: Scouting for emerging grocery and CPG suppliers using trend signals, brand research, assortment fit, novelty, and distribution readiness.
- Regulatory compliance: Food label, allergen, nutrition, additive, market-entry, and health-claim checks across EU, US, UK, Switzerland, Canada, Australia/New Zealand, and GCC rules.
- Competitor intelligence: Retail competitor monitoring across promotions, assortment, private label, launches, digital activity, and market signals.
- Case handover: Escalations to category managers, buyers, finance reviewers, compliance owners, and supply-chain specialists with the source evidence attached.

## System reach

When a process depends on SAP, on-premise SAP, SAP S/4HANA, legacy ERP, files, supplier websites, private network tools, or Windows desktops, Duvo can combine connectors, browser automation, remote desktop control, SSH/VPN paths, and human approval gates under one governed case.

- SAP and ERP: On-premise SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, NetSuite, Oracle Fusion, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, and other ERP-backed operating systems.
- On-premise and private systems: Customer-network paths such as VPN-backed browser access, SSH jump hosts, RDP, and desktop automation for controlled work in private or legacy environments.
- SAP data and UI paths: Use SAP table, CDS view, RFC/BAPI, or Fiori browser workflows when those are the access routes the customer provisions.
- Data, files, and collaboration: Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Excel, Google Sheets, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Outlook, Gmail, Slack, and Teams.

## Vendor And Category Comparison Matrix

### Broad enterprise platforms: ServiceNow, Salesforce Agentforce
