97 Kinaxis Testimonials

"A large enterprise consumer products company chose RapidResponse over Oracle supply chain modules and JDA/i2 planning solutions."

"We installed Kinaxis at Flex in Louisville KY in May 2012. In the first year, we reduced our new buy spend by 26% by utilizing the return loop of our business."

"Yamaha has a rich history of performance innovation under constantly changing market conditions. With the ability to build what-next scenarios based on both financial and operational metrics, we will align our end-to-end supply chain to respond faster to a changing market landscape and ensure customers have great experiences making memories with Yamaha Motor products for years to come."

"We did not select Kinaxis and mSE Solutions solely for their supply chain technology and consulting expertise, we also value being able to partner with people who are collaborative, visionary, and put people first."

“We needed a solution to be able to plan effectively across multiple ERP systems without having to do a full-blown ERP implementation."

"Our Integrated Business Planning process would take half a year to pull off one cycle because of the complexity of all the things that had to be orchestrated. By the time you got six months in, the business environment had already changed. With Kinaxis, we now operate on a four-week cycle."

“We got to the point where, particularly on the supply planning side, we felt that SAP IBP for demand planning met our needs [but] we were probably using 40% of its capabilities."

“Maestro gave us a tool that gave both sides confidence and belief in the data in the system, as opposed to just forcing decisions through.”

“We can give people all the data related to what’s going on with a given item, a range of parts or an entire customer. So, it makes it really clear exactly what’s happening in the supply chain."

“In the past, analysis took days or weeks to complete. By the time our decision-makers received the analysis, it was already outdated and in need of refreshing. We wanted a solution that would help us conduct ‘what-if’ scenarios to support decision making.”

“We assumed we would not be able to do any manufacturing at our Chinese bases and that shipping would also be impossible. Our response in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic required us to do simulations regarding how long this state would continue, what effect it would have on the sales plan, and how long the sales side would be able to hold out.”

“We understood the structure of Maestro by then, so we were able to quickly visualize how to do simulations for things moving forward by changing certain numbers in certain ways. As we were able to accurately simulate business risks, we were able to rapidly investigate and implement the actions we needed to take."

“By using Maestro simulation functionality, we were able to show a PSI that was close to the actual state of material procurement and shipping delays that were caused by port congestion. And we were able to use this in estimating results and discussing countermeasures."
