Certis Europe operates local business units in five European countries, each running independent forecasting, demand planning, and supply planning processes. The company implemented Arkieva to standardize S&OP workflows, inventory policies, and KPIs across all entities. The integrated system supports demand planning, inventory management, supply planning, and cross-functional S&OP meetings while giving area sales managers tools to improve forecast accuracy.

Key takeaways

Local S&OP processes created high operational costs and prevented a consolidated European view.

Arkieva replaced disconnected spreadsheets with one demand, inventory, and supply planning platform.

Standardized processes and shared KPIs enable consistent performance measurement across countries.

Area sales managers gain forecast reliability tools and reporting to improve customer forecast quality.

Expected outcomes include higher efficiency, improved service levels, and better cash flow.
