End-to-end solution supports growth of largest privately held ice cream manufacturer in the U.S.
Arkieva is excited to announce its recognition in the prestigious Top Supply Chain Projects of 2025 due to its collaboration with Wells Enterprises. This acknowledgement comes from a highly regarded industry platform that recognizes companies leading the way in optimizing supply chain processes. Arkieva, known for its cutting-edge supply chain planning and consultation services, has developed an all-encompassing supply chain solution tailored specifically to meet the complexities faced by Wells Enterprises. This partnership has been crucial in supporting the growth of Wells, one of America's largest privately held ice cream producers.
Wells produces an impressive 200 million gallons of ice cream annually, distributed across the United States. As they expanded their operations to include a wider range of products and increased geographical reach, the company faced challenges that necessitated a sophisticated approach to supply chain management. To address these challenges, Wells sought Arkieva’s expertise in crafting a robust supply chain solution that could manage the evolving dynamics within their operations. This strategic partnership led to the implementation of technologies that address production complexity while enhancing efficiency and operational agility.
Arkieva's solution not only catered to the existing complexities of Wells' supply chain but also helped forecast future demands effectively. The implementation of demand forecasting, inventory management, and production planning functionalities enabled Wells to have a clearer view of their operations over a 16-week period. As a result, they could meet increasing demands with greater precision, greatly reducing the risks commonly associated with misaligned production schedules.
According to Sujit Singh, the Chief Operating Officer of Arkieva, “The ability to plan production schedules in advance has empowered Wells to respond to market demand efficiently. Our joint efforts with Wells not only resolved immediate operational challenges but also established a roadmap for ongoing innovation and improvements in their supply chain process.”
The phased implementation of the Arkieva system allowed Wells to integrate new functionalities seamlessly into their existing framework, optimizing performance throughout their network. With better insights across their production facets, Wells can make informed decisions about where and how to allocate resources most effectively.
