01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Garvis was an Antwerp, Belgium SaaS startup founded in 2020 by CEO Piet Buyck, building a bionic demand-planning and stock-optimization system that combined user-trainable, transparent AI with large language models. It let planners set up their own demand-forecasting environment within hours, targeting consumer goods, food and beverage, chemicals and pharmaceuticals companies, and served over 50 customers including Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Q8 Oils. The company raised €3.5 million in September 2022 from Superseed Capital, Scalebridge Capital and Bosch Ventures, and was acquired by Logility in 2023.
