Company Profile
Industry: Home & garden products + cosmetics distribution
Employees: 110 (35 field agents + 22 logistics + 15 back-office)
Turnover: €19M (65% RO, 30% HU, 5% SK+CZ)
ERP: Dyntell since 2020 (migrated from legacy system)
Channels: 5 major retailers in RO (Carrefour, Auchan, Kaufland, Mega, Profi), 145 B2B distributors, 4 e-commerce channels (Shopify own-brand, eMAG, OLX Pro, eMAG HU), 2 warehouses (Bucharest + Budapest)
Challenges Before Smart Layer
1. Manual EDI with 5 retailers via portals → 18-25 min/order × 1,200 orders/month = 360-500h/month effort
2. 12% Overselling on eMAG RO + eMAG HU → ~€32k/year chargebacks + risk of suspension
3. Weak Dyntell B2B Portal → 145 distributors → 70% ordering via phone/email → 3 FTE call centre
4. 16% Overstock on slow-moving SKUs (blocked cash ~€110k) — native Dyntell AI only saw orders, not early marketplace signals
5. e-Invoicing rejections: 11% (especially on HU intra-community with reverse charge) → 32h/month accounting effort
6. SAF-T: 6h/month manual work + 1 rejection from ANAF (the Romanian tax authority)
Solution: Full Azuvio Smart Layer

Key Success Factors
1. Dyntell remained intact: zero ERP modifications, zero operational risk.
2. AI Bridge enhanced native Dyntell AI via cross-channel data — no AI was "replaced".
3. Modular implementation: EDI+OMS first 2 months (highest ROI), followed by B2B+AI+Compliance.
4. RO+HU distributors adopted the B2B Portal: 70% self-service migration in 90 days.
5. Back-office team embraced the change: Smart Layer was presented as "tools", not a "new system".
Conclusion: Smart Operations Layer doctrine demonstrated on AI-first cloud
Dyntell remains excellent for core ERP+BI+internal AI. Azuvio Smart Layer adds the layers the omnichannel era demands (mature EDI, OMS, advanced B2B, cross-channel AI, semantic Compliance) without touching the ERP. Result: 7.1x ROI, 2.5 months payback, €535k annual recurring benefits.
