Company
Our Team
Our team has worked together for years, delivering planning and supply chain solutions for some of the world’s largest retailers—including in challenging markets where execution discipline and speed matter most. We founded Dataviva because we were dissatisfied with the status quo: technology that was powerful on paper, but too often deployed in ways that left execution unchanged—and firefighting intact.
We built Dataviva to close that gap. Our Live Planning and Execution platform drives strategic insight to become operational action—continuously, with clear governance. The goal is straightforward: less drudgery, fewer crises, and better outcomes that hold up in day-to-day operations.
Our approach is pragmatic by design. We build solutions the way retailers actually work: modular adoption, fast time-to-value, and measurable outcomes—without multi-year transformation programs or disruptive rip-and-replace initiatives.
