Act on shelf-life risk before stock becomes waste.

Duvo combines batch age, expiry, inventory, demand, promotions, markdowns, transfers, and disposal records, then routes the safest action for approval.

Early

Risk detection

At-risk stock is surfaced while markdown, transfer, promotion, return, or donation may still be possible.

Controlled

Interventions

Commercial, quality, customer, and regulatory conditions are checked before action.

Explained

Final disposition

The chosen action, execution result, remaining stock, waste value, and reason stay connected.

Duvo establishes the baseline and validates the opportunity on your records before a live scope is agreed. No customer result is claimed for this solution yet.

Shelf-life & Waste Management runs on Duvo’s Enterprise Execution OS.

    Approval

    Exceptions pause for the named owner

    Each exception carries the source records, applied rule, recommended action, and the person authorised to decide.

  2. 2

    Shelf-life risk

    Shelf-life risk is visible before the action

    Each case shows the at-risk batch, remaining window, exposure, permitted options, and decision owner.

Shelf-life risk becomes visible after the best intervention window has passed.

Expiry, inventory, demand, promotion, price, transfer, donation, and disposal data must be connected before the team can choose a safe action.

  • Risk is measured at the wrong level.

    Aggregate stock can hide a short-dated batch at a specific site, channel, or customer.

  • The available actions have different owners and constraints.

    Markdowns, promotions, transfers, substitutions, returns, donations, and disposal follow different commercial, quality, and regulatory rules.

  • Waste records arrive too late to change the outcome.

    Reason codes and disposal values explain what happened but do not consistently feed earlier intervention.

Find shelf-life risk early and route the permitted action.

Duvo prepares routine options against approved rules. Commercial, quality, and disposal decisions remain with named owners.
