The S&OP problems you’re bringing to Chicago.
We’ve solved them before.
Every supply chain practitioner at this conference is wrestling with a version of the same thing: getting Demand, Supply, Finance, and the C-suite to commit to one plan they actually trust. Here’s what we hear most — and what we’d rather show you in person than tell you online.
Forecasts no one believes
Sales says one number. Finance pushes another. Operations plans to a third. Consensus dies in the spreadsheet.
An S&OP cycle that drags
Weeks of prep. A meeting that rehashes data instead of making decisions. Disruption hits, and the cycle resets.
Bring Your Planning Challenges to ChicagoAI promises without a plan
Every vendor at the conference will say “Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Few can show you where Machine Learning (ML) actually moves a forecast — and where human judgment still wins.
Tools that fight your complexity
Multi-plant, multi-region, regulated chemistry, seasonal Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) demand, Food and Beverage (F&B) shelf life — generic platforms break. Yours does too.
What we’ll show you at the booth
Arkieva’s Platform brings the full supply chain planning stack into one place — built for the complexity Chemical Manufacturing, Process Manufacturing, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), and Food and Beverage (F&B) planners face every day.
S&OP Management
Data-driven decisions through a centralized, flexible database. Turn the monthly cycle from a status meeting into a decision engine.
Supply Planning
Balance utilizing resources and meeting demand — from constrained scenarios to execution-ready plans.
Financial Planning
Turn supply chain planning into measurable financial impact. Speak the language your CFO is already speaking.

Sense and shape demand. AI/ML-driven, collaborative forecasting that connects sales signals to a plan everyone can defend.

Strategically leverage inventory. Optimal safety stock and inventory levels without the working-capital surprises.
Sustainable Planning
Build emissions, waste, and sustainability commitments into the same plan that runs the business.
Three reasons to put us on your booth list
You’ll see a lot of demos in Chicago. Here’s what’s different about ours.
1
A working session, not a sales pitch
Bring the real problem you’re trying to solve. We’ll walk through what good looks like and where Arkieva fits — including where it doesn’t.
2
AI that earns its place
See where machine learning genuinely improves a forecast, and where it shouldn’t replace planner judgment. Honest answers about both.

Built for complex manufacturers
Recipe-driven production, regulated chemistry, seasonal CPG, F&B shelf life, multi-plant networks — we plan around the constraints generic platforms ignore.
From planning chaos to S&OP confidence.
When Jazwares — the company behind Squishmallows — needed to scale S&OP to keep up with one of the most explosive product launches in CPG history, they partnered with Arkieva. The result: a Gartner Summit-stage S&OP transformation story and a planning operation that can move at the pace of demand.
Stop by the booth and we’ll walk you through what that transformation actually looked like — the messy parts included.
“You don’t need another platform. You need a partner who understands the realities you manage every day. Let’s do this together.”
