Kinaxis announce AI-Driven supply chain control centre

Canadian supply chain provider Kinaxis has revealed their new AI-driven software to allow clients to take intelligent and increasingly-automated control over their supply chains.

To deal with the rise of global disruptions to supply chains, Kenaxis has endeavoured to expand its RapidResponse platform with a new dedicated command and control centre needed to efficiently respond to trends in the industry.

Through the control centre, businesses can easily check chain health and action protocols to deal with any issues. Its dashboard traditional data with digital disruption detection signals.

Companies can easily manage day-to-day variability and unexpected volatility in real-time by prioritising and automating routine responses, thanks to prescriptive recommended actions based on key performance indicators.

The automatic capture of decision data leads to future AI-based decision-making while recommending potential upgrades and improvements.

One client, Bob Herzog, the director of planning at Proctor and Gamble, said:  “We had too many people spending the bulk of their time manually trying to mitigate low-impact disruptions instead of proactively looking at our highest priority exceptions.

"Using Kinaxis as a control tower enabled us to finally start focusing on the future by providing instant updates into the status of our end-to-end supply chain and freeing up our planners’ ability to manage these high-impact exceptions in real-time.”

John Sicard, the CEO of Kinaxis said planners were dealing with unprecedented levels of change and needed to make critical decisions that traditional platform cannot support.

He added: “Without the ability to confidently respond to shifting realities, companies risk devastating impacts to their bottom line. The enhanced demand management capabilities and new Command & Control Center application combined with our growing partner network will empower companies to mitigate risks and quickly manage operations in response to any potential disruption.”

The new command and control centre will be available commercially in mid-2021.
