Kinaxis continues to invest in innovation and scale through its AI-driven automation, composable architecture, and growing global customer base, particularly in high-tech, electronics, and life sciences.

"Kinaxis delivered fully fledged attribute-based planning at scale, giving us far more confidence than other suppliers," said Karl Alsop, vice president, Supply Planning, Systems and Analytics at Incora. “Maestro gave us a tool that both customers and suppliers could trust, with a unified view of our supply chain and belief in the data. It’s a strong fit for our business and the foundation for where we want to go next.”

“We believe being named a Leader for the 11th time reflects the role Kinaxis has played in advancing supply chain transformation,” saidAndrew Bell, chief product officer at Kinaxis. “From pioneering the first in-memory MRP system to launching the first cloud-based supply chain planning platform, and now unleashing the power of AI through the fusion of predictive, generative, and agentic capabilities, we've consistently delivered the innovations global businesses need to navigate today’s complexity with greater agility and resilience.”

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release

Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment

The unified company brings together deep expertise in Technology Expense Management (TEM) and IT Financial Management (ITFM) to help organizations better understand, manage, and reduce total technology spend.
