Cleave AI merchandising automation for daily sales and inventory reports at the Etvoa brand
Agabang's Etvoa brand cut decision time by more than 50% with Cleave AI reports in place of manual Excel work
Problem
The merchandising team at Etvoa, a brand of Agabang & Company, handled hundreds of product plans and the sales and inventory tracking by hand in Excel.
Approach
Etvoa adopted Cleave, an AI business automation product from the AI firm Talentry, in a project that began in July 2024. The system pulls scattered internal data into the cloud and produces a daily morning AI report on sales changes, sales spikes by store and inventory status. Talentry then started a second project on AI-based product ordering and store distribution, with a company-wide rollout still being designed.
Results
Takeaway
Etvoa started with the daily reporting work its merchandisers did by hand and moved to ordering and distribution only after that worked.
