Case Study: Lush achieves streamlined demand, inventory, and financial planning with Arkieva

Lush Teams Up with Arkieva to Improve Demand, Inventory, and Financial Planning

Lush, the Vancouver‑based North American division of the handmade cosmetics retailer, was experiencing rapid year‑over‑year growth across 250+ locations and had outgrown manual, error‑prone Excel processes. To gain more flexibility, collaboration and faster analysis, Lush selected Arkieva for a planning implementation using Arkieva’s Demand Planning, Inventory Optimization, Executive Reporting and Financial Planning capabilities.

Arkieva delivered a unified planning platform that automated forecasting, improved inventory visibility and materials planning, and enabled on‑the‑fly executive reporting. As a result, Arkieva helped Lush migrate away from spreadsheets, improve data integrity and supply‑chain visibility, and convert reports that previously took days to generate into real‑time analyses — speeding decision‑making and streamlining financial and demand planning.
