Company shines light on the power of human and machine intelligence and shares customer transformation stories
OTTAWA and BARCELONA, Spain, June 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), the leader in empowering people to make confident supply chain decisions, will showcase how companies can see their supply chains in a new light at the Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.
Combining the power of human and machine intelligence for better planning performance, Kinaxis will demonstrate innovations in visibility, advanced analytics and machine learning during multiple speaker sessions and at booth #103. Highlights will include the ability to:
- Spot potential issues sooner, project future impacts faster and leverage machine learning to automatically detect and correct inaccurate design inputs like lead times and yields so supply chains perform as they should.
- Put customers at the center of the supply chain and keep them happy no matter how often or how fast their needs change with demand-driven inventory and capacity plans, and improved short- and long-term forecasting reinforced by machine learning.
- Adapt quickly and easily to today's volatile world and close the gap between planning and execution by using the right blend of human and machine intelligence to maximize performance through S&OP all the way down to the production floor.
"When companies plan without the visibility of what is going on in their supply chain they open the door to risk, missed opportunities and inability to respond quickly to unexpected events," said John Sicard, CEO of Kinaxis. "We continue to innovate in collaboration with our customers and partners to create purposeful applications that empower people to make confident, aligned business decisions."
Kinaxis is positioned as a Leader in both the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Sales and Operations Planning Systems of Differentiation1 and the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning System of Record2. Complimentary copies of these reports can be downloaded from Kinaxis.
