Act on shelf-life risk before stock becomes waste.

Preserve the value of stock while there is still time to sell, move or return it. Duvo checks batch age against expected demand and identifies the remaining window for a markdown, transfer or other permitted action. Commercial and quality owners approve the decision, and Duvo tracks the outcome so avoidable waste and the reasons behind write-offs become visible.
