WILMINGTON, Del., July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkieva announces recognition on the 2025 Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics list of Top Supply Chain Projects for their work with Wells Enterprises. The industry leading supply chain planning and consultation provider created an end-to-end supply chain solution to handle production complexity and support the continued growth of the largest privately held ice cream manufacturer in the U.S. The list features case studies of projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain.

Wells produces over 200 million gallons of ice cream each year, distributed across all 50 states. The company turned to Arkieva for a comprehensive supply chain planning solution to handle the increased supply chain complexities that came with growth, such as intricate product mixes, geographic expansion, new distribution centers and additional product lines. Arkieva provided a solution tailored to the challenges of Wells' supply chain, offering flexibility in assigning production lines, the ability to create and adjust ramp-up curves for new products, and enabling efficient workload balancing.

"The ability to plan production schedules up to 16 weeks in advance allowed Wells to meet growing demand more effectively," says Sujit Singh, Chief Operating Officer, Arkieva. "This partnership not only addressed their immediate challenges but also provided a foundation for continuous innovation and system enhancements as the company continues to grow."

The Arkieva solution included demand forecasting, inventory management, supply and production planning, plant scheduling and truckload modeling, and was implemented in a phased approach to ensure Wells could fully maximize system capabilities. Wells now benefits from improved efficiency in production planning and can leverage network-wide insights to make determinations like identifying the most cost-effective plant locations for specific production runs.
