Case Study: Volvo modernizes its supply chain with Kinaxis

How Volvo Cars modernized its supply chain with Maestro™

Volvo Cars, the premium automotive manufacturer, faced growing supply chain complexity as it shifted from gas-powered vehicles to hybrids and fully electric cars while still supporting multiple product lines and long life cycles. To manage rising demand, improve cost control, and move beyond manual, sequential planning, Volvo needed advanced planning and better end-to-end visibility. Volvo selected Kinaxis Maestro to help modernize its supply chain and support a more planning-centered approach.

Kinaxis implemented Maestro to deliver digital planning capabilities, scenario planning, concurrent planning, and a standardized way of working across teams. The result was reduced supply chain costs, consolidation of more than 20 legacy systems, improved data quality, and stronger cross-functional alignment. Kinaxis helped Volvo Cars create more transparency and shared responsibility across departments while simplifying its digital landscape.
