With Solvoyo, the complete replenishment process is optimized daily with consideration of POS sell through, ongoing Forecasts, and weekly -adjusted inventory targets. A101 then executes daily the vendor buys, store replenishments, and transportation routes based on this singular optimized plan, that incredibly, A101 generates with less than 10 planners!Can you talk about the competitive landscape and why Solvoyo’s offering will win?Traditional software requires speculative investments for future returns with delayed value realization. Conversely, Solvoyo offers a cloud-based “Love It or Leave It” option, providing customers the flexibility to grow with us how they wish. With no modules, onboarding time is minimized for additional services, accelerating and simplifying additional customer benefits realization!How does someone contact you to hear more?We pride ourselves on enabling our customers to tackle the “impossible” supply chain challenges. Please share your “impossible” with us, and see how we can solve it together by sending me an email (koray.dogan@solvoyo.com) or calling me at +1 (617) 335-8146.As a CEO interacting with multiple CIOs, what do you think is their biggest challenge which Solvoyo tries to address?Every CIO I have engaged with wants to satisfy the business they support, yet are frustrated by the labyrinth of systems increasing usage and maintenance complexity, while limiting the ability to fully meet the business needs. Amplifying the matter, the supply chain problems are increasingly beyond the enterprise’s direct control, yet CIOs only have enterprise-centric tools to leverage.Can you briefly describe Solvoyo’s vision and differentiating themes? In three words: singular, simple, and satisfying. I founded Solvoyo with a vision to provide the only supply chain planning platform one will ever have and want to use. In addition, the Solvoyo Elevation Platform leverages cloud computing, providing customers the flexibility to subscribe for business planning services as necessary with no upfront investment.Who are your customers? Our mission is to enable supply chain proficiency for all – from emerging retailers with under 100 stores to multi-chain retailers with thousands of outlets to consumer brands with retail operations. What is your customer value proposition? At the most basic level, Solvoyo’s value proposition enables customers to establish, reflect, and elevate performance exponentially. Our network-centric platform enables retailers to represent their supply chain attributes completely. For example, a retailer traditionally makes merchandising decisions in a relative silo, assuming “independent” factors like transportation and lead times. With the Solvoyo Elevation Platform, our customers create a singular, optimal flow plan of procurement, distribution, and transportation together, reducing costs while improving service.Can you give a specific example of how your customers benefit? My professional joy comes from aiding a customer’s achievement of supply chain excellence, like A101's (a 2300+ store retailer) 20 percent sustained cost-to-serve and inventory reduction while Koray, PhD, is the founder of Solvoyo. As a technology savant, Koray, based on fifteen years’ experience with the leading supply chain products, realized the market plateaued short of the original promise - globally optimized supply chains. So in 2005 Koray’s five year quest began to create a new singular platform, with no modules, for all supply chain planning. After three years of customer validation, today he is proud to share about the Solvoyo Elevation Platform. Koray Dogan, CEO, SolvoyoKoray DoganCIO VIEW POINT
