"Kinaxis has fundamentally changed how we plan. We’re now able to manage and understand huge amounts of data and complexity easily. As a result, we’ve transformed our sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes to effectively collaborate with customers, evaluate financial tradeoffs and make confident business decisions."
"RapidResponse has reduced the cycle time for producing a supply plan for operations by half, while allowing for greater supply/operational plan accuracy."
“Customization takes time and requires a number of resources, and we wanted to implement the tool as soon as possible. We also wanted the system development expertise to reside with the vendor we selected rather than dedicating our own resources.”
"It has been a genuine team effort all the way through. I truly feel we all belong to the same team."
"RapidResponse is a great forward-looking tool. Its strength is allowing us to run "what if" scenarios and see instantaneous impact. It’s also great at showing us how we got to where we are today. It really allows us to tell a complete story—from where we began to where the problems are and how we can potentially fix them."
"The most significant value we have seen from using RapidResponse is the time savings. Before we used to spend days manually entering data into our enterprise resource planning tool and various Excel spreadsheets to generate our forecasts. Now in RapidResponse we complete the same task within hours while providing more in-depth analysis."
"In a volatile, fast-paced market where customer expectations continue to rise, our ability to respond rapidly to change is what sets us apart. RapidResponse enables Teradyne to meet both customer and internal objectives by being able to respond effectively to ever present changes in our business."
"Kinaxis has been a strong partner for Avaya and the RapidResponse tool was a key enabler in our transformation success."
"This will help the company perform proactive and effective collaboration with suppliers and also enable speed in decision making in the shortest turnaround time."
"Without RapidResponse, I’d be spending a lot more time with hat in hand asking IT for the next report, or taking a report I already had and trying to monkey around with it in Excel."
"We’ve doubled in size, and because of RapidResponse, we haven’t had to bring on a lot of new resources to manage our expanded supply chain."
“Poor demand visibility challenged our manufacturing facilities with determining what to make because they did not have the right raw materials to meet production needs. Plants would increase safety stocks, which led to excessive and costly inventory and increased the risk of building obsolescence. Conversely, inventory shortages for new and promoted products impeded the promotional programs that were being pushed by sales. Stockouts occurred because we failed to have the right product at the right place at the right time, which led to increased costs due to expedited orders or, even worse, lost sales.”
"We’ve faced a lot of external and internal challenges over the years, and RapidResponse has helped us respond in all kinds of interesting ways."
"Kinaxis was absolutely essential. It enabled us to react immediately to the pressing issues of the next day, day two, day three."
"Staying within a platform like RapidResponse that is dynamic and transformative and gives you a real-time view of what’s really going on helps us make better decisions."
