Rohlik Group · Promo management
How Rohlik Group lifted promo margin from 17% to 27% with daily agent-driven nominations.
17% → 27%
3x
The challenge
Weekly promo nominations were running on gut feel.
Existing forecasting was over-estimating promo demand by 9-14x on average. Nominations defaulted to gut feel, with discount depth used as the lever to clear stock. Promo share of net revenue was stuck at 7.6%, with margin diluted by indiscriminate discounting and inventory positions out of line with actual sell-through across 4 fulfilment centres in DACH.
How DUVO improved the workflow
From signal to verified outcome.
Each step runs autonomously. Every action is logged, traceable, and reviewable.

Duvo pulls campaigns, supplier agreements, sales history and pricing data from the data warehouse every day.
Generates Optimal Portfolio

Lifts Decision Quality
Same buyers, same suppliers, different prep: decision quality lifts because the agent looks at the full constraint picture every cycle, not just the headline campaign.

Quote
“We were running promo nominations based on gut feel and deeply flawed forecasts, using discounts primarily to clear stock. DUVO changed the game by running the full cycle daily. By balancing margin, depth, and actual inventory across all fulfilment centres, we lifted our promo margin by 10 points and tripled revenue without cutting deeper.”
