Our take
Where Arkieva leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 5 of the 24 capabilities where they differ (led by root-cause analysis tooling and lifecycle-stage-aware forecasting).
Where Solvoyo leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 19 of the 24 capabilities where they differ (led by stockout-corrected demand signal and ai agent / assistant recommendations).
Where they differ
The 24 capabilities (of 45 in the inventory optimisation taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
