Case Study: INVISTA reduces inventory by 30% and saves $30M with Arkieva Demand & Inventory Planner

Arkieva Enables Invista to Reduce Inventory & Position Itself for the Economic Recovery

Invista, a global producer of polymers and fibers with operations in over 20 countries, faced severe demand-planning and inventory-management challenges during the 2008 market crisis as demand fell and the company struggled to balance safety stock against overbuilding. To address this, Invista turned to Arkieva and implemented the Arkieva Demand and Inventory Planner to bring a more accurate, collaborative forecasting process into its supply chain operations.

Arkieva’s solution centralized forecasts, open orders, invoices, and sales data, enabled collaborative input from sales and exception-based planning, and rolled out to more than 50 users including remote sales staff. As a result, Arkieva helped Invista reduce inventories by 30%—saving more than $30 million—while improving visibility and responsiveness across the business.
