Company’s platform evolution combines
proprietary technology to enable faster, smarter supply chains at
lower total cost
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

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.”

(MRP) engine in the 1980s to adopting a SaaS model years before its
