Maestro delivers concurrent planning on a single platform across discrete, process, consumer packaged goods and life sciences

Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain planning and orchestration, today announced it has been named a Leader in five 2026 IDC MarketScape vendor assessments for worldwide supply chain planning. The recognition spans the overall market and four industries - discrete industries, process industries, consumer packaged goods and life sciences industries - all served by a single platform, Kinaxis Maestro®, the company's AI-powered supply chain orchestration platform.

"Supply chain leaders don't need a better forecast once a month. They need to know what changed this morning, what it means across the business, and what to do about it," said Andrew Bell, Chief Product Officer of Kinaxis. "I believe being named a Leader across five IDC MarketScape vendor assessments, in industries that plan in very different ways, shows that a single concurrent platform is the right foundation for that. Operational orchestration builds on it by connecting planning, decisions and executions so organizations can act with confidence as conditions change."

The IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Supply Chain Planning Overall states that “Kinaxis' architectural claim is concurrency.& Kinaxis was positioned as a Leader in:

  • IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning Overall 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54139326, November 2026)
  • IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Discrete Industries 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138326, October 2026)
  • IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Process Industries 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138926, November 2026)
  • IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Consumer-Packaged Goods 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138126, October 2026)
  • IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Life Sciences Industries 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54138726, October 2026)

“Supply chains are changing faster than traditional planning cycles can keep up. Kinaxis& concurrent approach enables organizations to evaluate multiple scenarios against a single live model and understand the broader impact of change before making a decision. Kinaxis& move toward operational orchestration is a logical extension of that foundation, helping connect decisions across functions as conditions evolve,& said Eric Thompson, Research Director, Supply Chain Planning, IDC.

The recognition comes as supply chain leaders place greater emphasis on end-to-end orchestration. According to IDC's 2026 Worldwide Supply Chain Survey, “the persistent gap identified by supply chain practitioners has shifted. Where prior years pointed to a broad lack of digital competencies, the main barrier to responsiveness is now a lack of systems integration, which rose 14.6 percentage points year over year to become the top blocker.& Improving supply chain agility and responsiveness (32%) and supply chain visibility (31%) were also the two most-cited steps organizations are taking to mitigate risk.

“The real test for me is whether planning makes the operation easier to run," said Colton D Porter, Director, Supply Chain Digital Solutions at MillerKnoll. "With Maestro, we&re making better use of the capacity we have, putting less effort into maintaining the plan, and improving delivery. That frees up the team to focus on exceptions, trade-offs, and decisions instead of constantly trying to keep the plan together.&

This broader shift toward orchestration is reflected in how organizations use Maestro today. Kinaxis customers increased global scenario planning activity in Maestro by 29% year-over-year in Q3 2026, reflecting more frequent use of the platform to evaluate changing conditions. Customers also manage more than 700 million parts and plan inventory representing more than $350 billion in annual value, helping teams understand the impact of change, evaluate trade-offs and make more informed decisions across complex global supply chains.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
