New FWD member: Galvia

Ian Yeates, UK Head of Business Development, Galvia, explains how, by identifying a problem or opportunity within your data and working from there, AI delivers value

Galvia is an AI company delivering solutions to wholesalers and retailers in the UK and Europe. Our AI platform unifies the core data systems that underpin a business across customers, inventory and commercial KPIs delivering One View, with AI predictions and prompts. This helps wholesalers move from time-consuming historical data analysis to predictive decision making, supporting stronger revenue performance, better margins and more efficient operations.

WORKING WITH WHOLESALE

We start with the problem or opportunity lying in your data and work back from there. We typically begin with focused use cases such as sales/inventory

forecasting or customer analysis and growth. We connect your core systems to create One View of the business in real time. From this foundation, models predict what will happen and AI prompts help guide priority actions, enabling wholesalers to stay ahead of the curve and drive stronger commercial outcomes.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

AI does not have to be disruptive. The Galvia Platform connects directly into the core systems you already use, fitting naturally into existing operations. Insights, predictions and prompts are delivered in practical, commercial terms to support faster, more confident decisions. Our model is a partnership, with Galvia managing and evolving the capability over time. Data, IP and deployment stay within your environment, ensuring the models and outputs remain fully owned and controlled by your business.

MY ONE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR WHOLESALERS IS…

You do not need a large digital transformation to see value from AI. Choose one concrete use case to get started, such as forecasting, increasing orders from existing customers or stock optimisation. Early wins will build confidence and momentum. And finally, it’s a journey… work with partners whom you both like and trust to deliver in the long term.

We are happy to talk through some ideas with you.
