DeepVu

What DeepVu does

DeepVu (legal entity Vufind Inc, founded November 2016 in Berkeley, California by Moataz Rashad and Prof Walid Aref) is a private B2B software company that sells an autonomous resilient supply chain planning platform to large enterprise manufacturers and consumer goods companies. The platform is built around Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) decisioning agents trained on multi-scenario digital twin simulations that model normal operations as well as shocks such as commodity spikes, consumer spend disruptions, labor and component shortages, trade restrictions, and climate events. Agents learn from historical human planner decisions and improve over time via Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF), recommending actions optimized for CFO-level KPIs including BoM cost, OTIF, inventory holding costs, expedited freight, stockout events, and sustainability metrics.

The product portfolio is anchored by VuDecide (the flagship AI Agent for Shock-Resilient Demand Planning, launched on Microsoft AppSource in July 2024) and VuGraph (a proprietary supply chain knowledge graph incorporating hundreds of external macroeconomic, commodity, trade, weather, and FX signals with predictive weights). The broader suite includes modules for procurement (vuPredict), demand forecasting (vuForecast), inventory and order fulfillment optimization, production planning, and logistics/freight optimization, all delivered as a SaaS subscription sold 'à la carte' per use case with cloud API or dashboard interfaces that integrate with SAP, Oracle, Infor, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP systems. The company maintains R&D centers in San Ramon (HQ), Berkeley, Belfort (France), Montreal (Canada), and Dublin (Ireland), with a workforce of 11-50 employees.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500/1000 manufacturers in CPG, apparel, beauty, food/agro, home goods, building materials, and electronics/semiconductor verticals, supported by Microsoft's AppSource marketplace and an in-development podcast for senior planning executives. Disclosed funding is approximately $750K across three small rounds (2016 SkyDeck Berkeley, 2016 $250K, 2018 $500K), indicating growth has been bootstrapped rather than institutionally capitalized. A newly hired SVP of Sales carries a mandate to deliver $5M ARR within 18-24 months and land three Fortune 500 customers within nine months — a signal that the company is only now transitioning from founder-led selling to scaled enterprise GTM.

Direct peers

• Kinaxis: Concurrent planning platform for supply chain, demand, and inventory planning with AI/ML capabilities. Competes directly with DeepVu in CPG, manufacturing, and automotive verticals with a focus on what-if scenario planning analogous to DeepVu's digital twin shock simulations.
• E2open: Supply chain management platform spanning demand planning, procurement, logistics, and channel data. Competes with DeepVu in manufacturing and CPG verticals with a broader multi-tier visibility proposition, though with less AI-native decisioning architecture.
• Blue Yonder: End-to-end supply chain planning and execution platform with Luminate AI capabilities for demand forecasting and inventory optimization. Direct competitor across DeepVu's core modules (demand planning, inventory, production) in CPG, manufacturing, and retail verticals.
• o9 Solutions: AI-powered integrated business planning platform for supply chain, demand planning, and integrated business planning. Most direct competitor to DeepVu's DRL-driven autonomous planning approach, targeting the same Fortune 500 CPG and manufacturing customers with similar à-la-carte SaaS deployment models.

Broad incumbents

• Anaplan: Connected planning platform spanning finance, sales, and supply chain use cases. Overlaps with DeepVu's à-la-carte per-use-case model and targets similar Fortune 1000 enterprises, though Anaplan's planning layer is less specialized in shock-resilient supply chain AI.
• Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Oracle's SCM Cloud including demand planning, sales & operations planning, and supply planning. Competes via Oracle ERP installed base, though DeepVu integrates with Oracle as a complementary AI decisioning layer on top.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management: Microsoft's native SCM offering with which DeepVu now partners via AppSource and Dynamics 365 Sales integration. Represents both a partnership channel and a potential competitive platform expansion risk if Microsoft deepens native AI planning features.
• SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP): SAP's flagship supply chain planning suite embedded in the broader S/4HANA ERP ecosystem. Competes with DeepVu through its installed base in Fortune 500 manufacturers, though DeepVu integrates with SAP via cloud APIs as a complementary decisioning layer.
