Core capabilities across supply chain planning.

A complete transition from fragmented, siloed planning to a fully connected, real-time approach that spans your entire supply chain — from forecast to fulfilment.

Demand Planning

Statistical forecasting fused with business intelligence — improving accuracy, taming seasonality, and aligning every stakeholder around one authoritative plan.

Sales & Operations Planning

Connect demand, supply, and financial objectives through scenario-driven S&OP. Executive visibility and rapid what-if analysis turn trade-offs into decisions.

Supply Planning

From long-range aggregate strategy to short-term scheduling. Real-world constraints are built in, so every plan you publish is one you can actually execute.

Inventory & Fulfilment

Optimise inventory and distribution to balance service levels and working capital. The right product, in the right place, at the right time — and at the right cost.

Constraint-Based Planning

Capacity, material, and operational constraints are embedded directly in the planning model — surfacing bottlenecks before they become emergencies.

Attribute-Based Planning

Plan at the attribute level — size, colour, configuration — not just SKU. The flexibility and precision required by high-variability product portfolios.

Product & BOM Intelligence

Flexible product structures and feature-based bills of materials — engineered for configurable products and complex manufacturing without losing agility.

Shelf-Life & Expiry

Expiry-aware planning logic to minimise waste, ensure regulatory compliance, and optimise flow — critical for pharma, food, and perishable categories.

Analytics & Automation

From forecasting models to sourcing optimisation and custom algorithms — analytics and automation embedded across every step of the planning lifecycle.

A unified view from strategic horizons to last-mile execution — keeping operations and business objectives in lockstep.

AI-driven intelligence

Built-in AI and advanced analytics elevate forecast accuracy, sharpen inventory positioning, and lift overall planning performance.

Scalable, flexible architecture

Engineered to support everything from straightforward operations to the most intricate global supply chain environments.

Built for regulated industries

Purpose-built capabilities for life sciences, high-tech manufacturing, and other sectors where compliance and complexity collide.

The technical foundation beneath every plan.

We design and implement the integration, modelling, and analytics layer that powers reliable, real-time supply chain planning at enterprise scale.

01 / Configuration

Rapid Response Modelling

We configure Kinaxis to your operating reality — data model design, custom planning logic, and scenario configuration tuned to how your business actually runs.

02 / Integration

Data & System Engineering

We connect Kinaxis to SAP, Oracle, and the rest of your enterprise stack — building robust pipelines and real-time synchronisation you can trust.

Inventory Reduction with Higher Service Levels

Reduce excess inventory while maintaining or enhancing product availability across the network.

Supply Chain Resilience

Anticipate disruptions early and respond proactively through scenario-driven planning.

Faster S&OP Cycles

Accelerate planning cycles with real-time data and stronger cross-functional alignment.

End-to-End Visibility

Gain a connected view across the supply chain to support faster, more informed decision-making.
