{"id":96996,"title":"Corvera 🛒 | AI agents for CPG brands","tagline":"AI agents that automate retail brand ops and increase profits by 40%","body":"Hey, we’re [Chris](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cwnkong/), [Dirk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dirkbreeuwer/) and [Matthew](https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsmcollins/) - cofounders of Corvera!\n\n# **TL;DR**\n\nCorvera is the AI agent workforce for CPG back-office. We help retail brands increase profits by up to 40% by deploying digital workers that run their operations. \n\n**Ask:** Looking for intros to CPG brands that sell into retail, ideally with \u0026gt; $50M in ARR. Direct them to our website to schedule a demo!\n\n**Website:** \u003chttps://www.corvera.ai/\u003e\n\n**Book a demo:** \u003chttps://www.corvera.ai/schedule-demo\u003e\n\n\u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ZLvv9Cgro\u003e\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nRetail CPG brands are drowning in operational debt.\n\n* **Ops is a massive opportunity cost** – US CPG brands waste 40% of their time and spend $78bn managing supply chains when they should be getting their products out there and selling to more customers.\n* **Poor ops is a huge growth bottleneck** – CPG founders typically stem from product, marketing, or sales backgrounds. Therefore, ops handled by non-ops founders = distraction, pain, and time wasted on non-value-add tasks.\n* **Ops pain scales with the brand –** Ops debt and headcount grow as a brand serves more customers, launches more products, and operates in more geographies, further hampering the brand’s growth.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\n**Corvera is the fully autonomous command centre managing ops for fast-growing retail brands.** \n\nWe help brands cut wastage, improve margins, and maximise revenue, with an AI workforce that knows exactly how CPG brands work. We automate the 3 core ops workflows which consume the most time and hamper growth:\n\n**1) Sales Order Processing**\n\n_Process orders end-to-end without lifting a finger._\\\n\\\nCorvera plugs into your existing tools and automatically processes sales orders end-to-end, from fulfillment to invoice. It parses email PDFs and text, matches them against known entities in our catalogue, and executes downstream actions with human-in-the-loop approvals.\n\n**2) Inventory Management**\n\n_Track inventory across every location in real time._\n\nCorvera knows exactly where your stock is and how much you’ve got at all times. We seamlessly sync inventory data across all of your warehouses, track shipments and transfers, and suggest actions to rebalance stock across your estate to maximize short-term revenue.\n\n**3) Demand Forecasting \u0026 Supply Planning**\n\n_Forecast demand in real time and automatically process purchase orders to prevent stockouts._\n\nCorvera learns from your sales history and, coupled with insights from your team, forecasts demand in real time. With full visibility of your inventory across all locations, Corvera suggests corrective actions to prevent stockouts, so you can maximize your revenue, keep your customers happy, and accelerate your growth. \\\n\\\n**In short:** We take away ops pain from CPG brands, allowing them to do what they do best - market and sell their products to their customers. \n\n### **The Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96996\u0026key=user_uploads/3038174/4e3af8f4-816c-4f7e-bb27-9a529803d966)\n\nFrom Left to Right:\n\n[**Dirk Breeuwer**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dirkbreeuwer/) (Co-Founder \u0026 CTO)\n\nFormerly Data and AI Lead at Google with 6+ years of experience.
