Case Study: What’s Cooking? achieves increased sales and reduced inventory write-offs with Arkieva APS

Creating a Great APS Dish with What’s Cooking?

What’s Cooking? is a European fresh savoury food group headquartered in Lievegem, Belgium, producing snacks and ready meals (about €781M revenue in 2022). The company faced very short product shelf‑lives, high customer service expectations, fragmented Excel‑based planning and weak forecasting. To address these challenges, What’s Cooking? engaged Arkieva to deploy an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system and the Arkieva full S&OP suite, working with implementation partner Solventure.

Arkieva’s solution consolidated planning processes, improved forecasting and analytics, and established a proactive S&OP environment with clearer cross‑functional collaboration and data integration. As a result, What’s Cooking? gained a common understanding across stakeholders, raised service levels (driving increased sales revenue) and reduced inventory write‑offs, delivering measurable improvements in planning quality and supply‑chain efficiency.
