Kinaxis, a specialist in driving agility for decision-making, is enabling manufacturers to accelerate their digital supply chain planning journey to gain hyper agility and visibility and realize value sooner.

The Kinaxis RapidValue deployment process is designed to quickly establish the foundational end-to-end transparency necessary to detect and measure the impact of supply chain disruption on key financial performance indicators and fulfillment obligations.

“Time to value is always top of mind in any software investment,” said John Sicard, CEO of Kinaxis. “We want to make it easy for our customers to hit that first important implementation milestone sooner, so they can begin to gain control and confidence under these unusually volatile conditions. Disruption is now the new normal and manufacturers are shifting how they do business. RapidValue is a game changer for these manufacturers, giving them the agility and resiliency they require to achieve value quickly.”

Leveraging the RapidResponse platform and the Kinaxis concurrent planning technique, customers will have the ability to perform finished goods and key supply components planning, replace disparate Excel sheets with connected, collaborative workbooks and alerts, and lay the foundation for what-next scenario planning, all with data that has been checked for integrity. Within six weeks, RapidResponse will be live and ready to serve supply chain users.
