Kinaxis helps companies to synchronize their supply chain to more effectively manage products on a lot-for-lot basis and use attribute-based planning to incorporate complex planning rules. Additionally, with product expiry monitoring, supply chain teams are alerted when action on inventory is required to maximize customer service and ensure expiry dates are not surpassed, minimizing extra cost.
