Features
The right formulation for your supply chain needs
Harness the power of what-if scenario planning to proactively address tenders, supply disruptions, and new product introductions. With agent-accelerated decision intelligence, you can test and compare alternate plans in real time—enabling faster, more confident decisions that keep your supply chain and business moving forward.
Expiry management and dynamic order allocation help you make the best, most cost-effective use of your global network inventory. By respecting region- and customer-specific shelf-life constraints and adapting to shifting demand, you can minimize waste, improve cash flow, and reinvest in innovation. Adaptive orchestration ensures resources are allocated efficiently—delivering products just in time, with less excess and more control.
Attribute-based planning enables you to embed compliance directly into your production and inventory strategies. Account for jurisdictional control, process or equipment changes, and regulatory approval timelines that vary across regions. With built-in logic for batch-based supply pooling and constraint management, you can meet local requirements while maintaining a steady flow of products to patients everywhere.
Easily integrate your ERP systems—including SAP—through a secure, cloud-based data fabric that unites internal and external information into a single version of the truth. With pre-built templates and certified integrators, you can accelerate deployment, simplify coordination across your ecosystem, and ensure your planning, logistics, and execution teams all work from the same source of insight.
Kinaxis powers adaptability across the life sciences supply chain—from clinical trials through commercialization. Our proven platform, Maestro, combines planning at the core, a unified data model, and agentic AI to drive clarity, speed, and trust in every trade-off. That’s why the world’s top pharmaceutical and biotech organizations trust Kinaxis to help them deliver better outcomes for patients and their businesses.

"We’ve been able to take that scenario capability and model our supply chain to manage risk and that’s led to new roles for planners and made them far more involved in the total end-to-end decision making for the company.”
“We really wanted to move out of our sequential way of planning location by location to a more concurrent and constrained and integrated planning. We were also attracted by all the different functionalities that Kinaxis brings in terms of scenario planning and judicial control.”
“Before I bid for a new tender or a new customer, I need to check whether I’ll be able to service it. That becomes very easy with scenario planning."
