Situation
Rohlik Group buys thousands of commodity-linked SKUs across five European markets. Dairy, coffee, cocoa, oils. Prices move constantly.
Most retailers track those markets quarterly at best.
Many do not track them at all, including Rohlik Group.
The buying team that should be negotiating better terms was spending days and weeks on something else first. Ten category managers, pulling data from different sources, trying to see where prices had moved.
Duvo's commodity price monitor built a real-time view across all five markets. One place that showed where supplier prices were out of line with market movements, or where they simply had not moved when the market had.
Results
What happens now
Duvo surfaced the opportunities. Rohlik’s buyers closed the deals. That was the first wave. But monitoring commodity prices is not a one-time event.
Markets move every week. Duvo watches continuously, and when prices shift, it does not just flag the gap. It starts the negotiation: reaching out to suppliers by email or phone with the data-backed case, then routing to a human buyer when the conversation needs a relationship.
The ten category managers who used to spend their weeks pulling data from different sources are now in supplier conversations. Everything else runs.
Every buying team knows commodity prices move. Most only track the big ones because tracking everything takes longer than the savings are worth. The gaps in the rest go unclosed.
Duvo finds the gap, opens the negotiation, and hands off to your team for the close. Same team, same cost, more work getting done.
