“Kinaxis has proven the power and flexibility of its RapidResponse platform to meet the needs of customers in many industries. The demanding needs of our customers, a shared vision to radically advance the art-of-the-possible, and Kinaxis’ experience in design and development, make them the perfect partner to advance our services,” said Rodney Brown, HAVI SVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer of North America. “The power of our partnership brings together HAVI’s industry-leading supply chain practices and Kinaxis’ state-of-the-art technology. We believe this collaboration is a step change for the QSR industry – and for our customers.”
The QSR and retail industries continue to go through a period of rapid and constant change, requiring a fast, resilient, and integrated approach to ensure assured supply. The advanced solutions created by the partnership will accelerate value to the customers of both companies by providing optimal decisions through advanced ML/AI models that continuously learn from a combination of customer, QSR industry, social media, weather, local and national events, and macro-economic data. In addition, clients will benefit from the company’s ability to sense potential risks quickly, analyze impacts and mitigation options, and implement rapid actions to address and/or prevent risks that threaten supply. It will also help meet the needs of evolving business initiatives such as digital transformation and sustainability.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be working with HAVI, who supports the world’s largest QSRs, to further accelerate into the QSR space and continue our long history of innovation for the supply chain industry,” said John Sicard, CEO of Kinaxis. “As the QSR and retail industries continue to face ongoing disruptions and volatility to their supply chains, the collaboration with HAVI will help companies and their supply chains become more resilient to change by injecting agility into their processes through the use of new techniques, data unification and evolving the role of everyone in the extended supply chain to know sooner and act faster.”
