Case Study: Certis Europe achieves Europe-wide S&OP alignment and improved forecasting with Arkieva

Creating Fertile Ground for the Certis S&OP Process

Certis Europe, a specialist in conventional and biological crop protection with local business units across several European countries, faced fragmented demand planning, differing KPIs, and unaligned S&OP processes that drove up operational costs. To address this, Certis engaged Arkieva to deploy a fully integrated Arkieva solution for Demand Planning, Inventory Management, Supply Planning and S&OP (Arkieva S&OP).

Arkieva implemented its cross‑functional S&OP software to provide full transparency, standardized forecasting and reporting, and improved forecast reliability for area sales managers. The Arkieva solution delivered European alignment of Certis’s S&OP process, created process synergies and operational benefits, and is expected to drive higher efficiency, better service and improved cash flow.
