Ongoing supply chain disruption remains a fact of life for companies across almost every industry.
Responding promptly and decisively to the unexpected is critical, but for companies still relying on yesterday’s planning processes and techniques, this remains a significant challenge. We believe that an advanced supply chain planning solution is a must for increasing agility and supply chain resilience.
We’re pleased to share that Kinaxis has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions and positioned highest on Ability to Execute within that Magic Quadrant.1 We believe this recognition solidifies our track record of bringing innovation to life and marks the tenth consecutive time we’ve been named a Leader.
We’re honored to be recognized, and also extremely proud to help leading companies, including Siemens, Procter & Gamble, and Lenovo, accelerate supply chain excellence while responding effectively to disruption and volatility.
How Gartner evaluates supply chain planning solutions
According to Gartner, a supply chain planning (SCP) solution is “a platform that provides technological support to enable a company to manage, link, align, collaborate and share its planning data across an extended supply chain. An SCP solution supports planning, ranging from demand planning through to detailed supply-side response planning and from strategic planning through execution-level planning. It is the planning decision repository for a defined end-to-end supply chain. It is also the environment in which end-to-end-integrated supply chain decisions are managed. It establishes a single version of the truth for planning data and decisions, regardless of the underlying execution technology environment.”2
The report goes on to state:
The foundational capabilities of the SCP solution are:
- Demand planning (e.g., demand forecasting and consensus demand planning)
- Supply planning (e.g., inventory planning, replenishment planning, order promising, production planning, production scheduling)
- Support for aligning planning decisions across the enterprise and across multiple planning time horizons
- Support for financial impact analysis and planning
The optional capabilities of an SCP solution are:
- Advanced analytics and AI
- Digital supply chain twin
- Supply chain design and modeling
- Continuous planning
- Supply chain segmentation
- Multi-enterprise planning
The report evaluated a total of 20 vendors, and Kinaxis was recognized for its Ability to Execute in the Leaders Quadrant.
