We build steering wheels.

A pure solver is a Ferrari with no steering wheel – all horsepower, impossible to control.

Human operators are a perfectly steered Bobby Car – easy handling, but painfully slow.

Arqh adds the steering wheel to the Ferrari, giving operators precise and instant command over high-horsepower optimization.

A steering wheel representing control over complex systems

An Obsession Born From Frustration.

After months sitting side-by-side with fuel dispatchers and airline crew planners, we were stunned. Mission-critical decisions affecting millions in revenue hinged on colour-coded spreadsheets, frantic phone calls, and fragile tribal knowledge.

That experience lit the fuse for Arqh. We're building a system that thinks at solver speed but speaks in human terms—so the experts who keep the world moving finally get the tools they deserve.
