Approach

Rather than replacing forecasting, Duvo was added as a check, improve, and execute layer on top of existing order proposals, without any API integrations.

"We did consider fixing the ordering process inside our internal tools, but IT simply didn't have the capacity to take it on. Duvo gave us a practical shortcut: it validates our proposed supplier orders, calculates a better option, and sends improvements to Slack for approval. Once we approve, Duvo executes the change directly in our internal system through the UI. That's how we moved A+B availability by 15% in two weeks, without rebuilding forecasting or waiting for APIs."

The "last mile" of ordering was leaking millions in lost sales

The "last mile" of ordering was leaking millions in lost sales

The retailer generated proposed supplier orders inside in-house-built tools, but core products still suffered from persistent stock-outs. Orders were often suboptimal — wrong timing, wrong quantities, missed constraints. Manual checking couldn't scale to thousands of SKUs, and traditional integration work like APIs or refactoring internal tools was too slow given IT capacity constraints. The result: industry average baseline availability on A+B products, with millions in lost sales sitting on the table.

How DUVO improved

the workflow

How DUVO improved the workflow

01

Reads Proposed Orders. DUVO connects to existing internal tools and reads the proposed supplier orders — no API required.

02

Runs Independent Calculations. Uses data warehouse inputs and ordering rules to independently validate each proposed order.

03

Escalates Improvements. Surfaces concrete recommendations to planners — what to change and why — with full transparency.

04

Approvals in Slack. Planners approve or reject suggestions directly in Slack, staying in their normal workflow with no context switching.

05

Executes Through the UI. Once approved, DUVO executes the improved order directly in the internal system through the UI, navigating the same screens as humans.

06

Scales Across the Portfolio. Started with ABC A+B core products, then expanded to A+B+C — the full portfolio — within the same 2-week window.
