News Release

OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain orchestration, today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions.

Of the 20 vendors evaluated, Gartner positioned Kinaxis highest on Ability to Execute, marking the company’s 10^th consecutive Leaders Quadrant within the report, a complimentary copy of which can be downloaded here.

Kinaxis attributes its position to its patented concurrency approach and a proven track record of delivering innovative solutions against the foundation of its leading vision through the use of advanced technology such as AI, ML, and an intuitive user experience. Bolstered by a rich ecosystem of third-party implementation partners, Kinaxis continues to demonstrate that regardless of a customer’s industry, size, or maturity level, the company can be counted on to seamlessly orchestrate supply chain networks end-to-end from strategic planning to last-mile delivery.

The recognition comes on the heels of Kinaxis revealing that over the past five years, the company’s patent portfolio has grown by more than 500%, with 55% of those patents being for AI and ML-based innovations.

“We’re thrilled that once again, Kinaxis has been recognized by Gartner as a Leader for supply chain planning and equally proud to be recognized again as a Leader across the last ten Magic Quadrant reports,” said Andrew Bell, chief product officer at Kinaxis. "We believe this year’s report is further validation of our strong track record of delivering the only AI powered, concurrent, end-to-end supply chain orchestration platform that enables businesses to unlock agility, resilience, and meaningful value with their global supply chains.”

Kinaxis’ AI-powered technology and patented concurrency technique allows companies to orchestrate their supply chain network end-to-end from strategic planning to last-mile delivery. Kinaxis’ technology helps companies that supply the agricultural industry with 40% of the world’s tractors, that keep more than 110 billion teeth clean each year, and that ensures more than 35 million pets are fed nutritious meals each year.
