Company’s platform evolution combines proprietary technology to enable faster, smarter supply chains at lower total cost
(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply
chain orchestration, today introduced the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform, the
only AI-infused supply chain orchestration platform with a powerful
combination of proprietary computational technologies and techniques
that provides full transparency and agility across the entire supply
chain — from multi-year strategic planning to last-mile delivery. An
evolution of the company’s flagship platform, RapidResponse, Maestro
incorporates new, modern AI technologies to help teams move faster and
smarter to master the complexities of today’s modern supply chains.
The
Maestro platform comprises three layers: a supply chain data fabric
connecting internal and external data sources into a single source of
truth, an always-on intelligence engine that delivers real-time
insights, predictions and adaptive solutions, and a seamless user
interface, enabling business leaders to make faster and more valuable
decisions than ever before, from anywhere and from any device. For
example, in response to skyrocketing demand of a new EV following a
high-profile celebrity endorsement, an automaker concerned about
component shortages might ask ‘How do I prevent a stockout?’. Without
missing a beat, Maestro’s generative AI-powered intelligent assistant
will provide guidance based on supply chain best practices to ensure
disruptions are absorbed and managed in real-time.
"It’s a
challenging time to be a business leader in supply chain. Managing the
complexities of global and regional supply chains, balancing agility,
cost reduction, and sustainability, and handling a steady stream of
geopolitical, economic, and environmental disruptions amid a data
explosion,” said Andrew Bell, chief product officer at Kinaxis. “Yet,
with the right technologies, there's unprecedented potential to resolve
this complexity and master uncertainty. Maestro provides total supply
chain transparency, aligns advanced technology with specific challenges,
and integrates diverse data—from social media sentiment to government
regulations—bringing clarity to chaos so business leaders can sleep
soundly at night."
National Instruments took part in the beta
phase of Maestro’s generative AI capabilities and Ed Scott, chief
program manager said, “From the moment our team deployed Maestro’s
intelligent assistant, it was clear it would be a gamechanger. We’ve
been able to significantly cut down on the amount of time it takes for
users to maximize the value of the platform and we are eager to build on
these initial successes as Kinaxis continues to roll out the full
breadth of its AI capabilities.”
What makes Maestro different:
Seamless synchronization. Unmatched agility – Gain a comprehensive,
always-on digital view of your supply chain, ensuring continuous
synchronization of data, people, and processes for unmatched agility.
Be ready. Whatever happens – Predict future scenarios with smart
modeling and make informed decisions quickly to confidently navigate
uncertainties and drive success.
Strike the perfect balance of
accuracy, efficiency, and speed – Fuse machine learning, heuristics and
optimization for unparalleled problem-solving, keeping your supply chain
at the cutting edge.
Take your productivity to the next level –
Automate routine tasks with AI and predictive algorithms, allowing you
to focus on strategic priorities and boost productivity.
Empower
your people to do more with more – Empower your teams with an intuitive
tool that simplifies complex tasks and enhances efficiency, enabling
greater satisfaction and achievement.
No data wrangling required –
Achieve faster time-to-value by easily ingesting data from various
sources without the need for schema definition; just drag, drop, and go.
Global
market intelligence firm IDC previewed Maestro prior to launch and Eric
Thompson, IDC Worldwide Supply Chain Planning Research Director, noted,
“IDC has been discussing end-to-end supply chain integration, and
Kinaxis is making moves forward with Maestro. The platform’s progress in
combining end-to-end concurrency with smart, user-friendly AI, is a
promising step in supply chain orchestration.”
From building the
first in-memory material requirements planning (MRP) engine in the 1980s
to adopting a SaaS model years before its peers and launching the first
cloud-friendly planning platform in the 2000s, Kinaxis has been at the
forefront of every major technological innovation within the supply
chain industry for the past four decades. The company has consistently
prioritized designing products to meet the evolving needs of its
customers, focusing on pillars of connectivity, intelligence,
adaptability, and user-friendliness. In the previous five years alone,
the company’s patent portfolio has grown by more than 500%, with over
half of those patents awarded for AI and ML-based innovations.
Celebrating
its 40th anniversary in 2024, Kinaxis helps companies that supply the
agricultural industry with 40% of the world’s tractors, that keep more
than 110 billion teeth clean each year, and that ensure more than 35
million pets are fed nutritious meals each year.
