What ARQA does

ARQA is a private business solutions company founded in 2017, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, with additional offices in Cairo, Egypt, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Operating with a small core team (1-10 employees), the company delivers four interlocking service lines: training programs (internationally certified courses delivered via classroom, e-learning, and webinars using a "Training for Saving" methodology that links learning to measurable workplace cost-savings projects), consulting services across supply chain management, demand management, S&OP, production planning, procurement, and logistics, digital transformation services built around big data analytics, data visualization, and interactive dashboards/scorecards, and HR services covering talent acquisition, organizational design, and competency assessment.

The company's technology stack is partner-led rather than proprietary. ARQA distributes ARKIEVA, a Gartner-featured integrated supply chain digitalization platform with built-in Demand Chain AI for forecast accuracy, inventory optimization, and synchronized demand-supply growth, and Predixa, an AI-based culture and leadership transformation diagnostics platform. Underlying delivery infrastructure includes web and mobile portals for scorecard access, interactive dashboards, and big data analytics tools used to inform client change and savings projects. Target end markets span oil and gas, pharmaceutical, FMCG, food industries, and governmental institutions across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

ARQA's business model is professional services across all four revenue streams (training, consulting, digital transformation, HR), each priced on a project or custom-engagement basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company offers free initial consulting sessions as the primary acquisition mechanism, supported by LinkedIn presence, email newsletter campaigns (eepurl.com/dzY_8j), a downloadable 2025 training catalogue, and direct enterprise outreach via [email protected]. The firm operates a sales-led, direct-to-enterprise go-to-market with three delivery channels for training — face-to-face classroom, e-learning, and webinars — and direct consulting engagement for transformation work.
