Our take

For many enterprises, tactical planning entails a number of expensive and time-consuming tasks. Kinaxis solves this problem by accelerating the planning cycle.

Kinaxis offers companies a concurrent planning solution, rapidly and efficiently synchronzing the end-to-end supply chain. This is why the company has enjoyed such impressive success among enterprise-scale businesses, including Unilever, Ford and Nissan.

In 2022, Kinaxis forged a lucrative partnership with TraceLink, allowing for increased opportunities for direct supplier and manufacturer collaboration. This sort of innovation will be key to the company's ability to attract and retain enterprise customers, especially as it partners with at least 27 companies in Asia in a global growth effort.
