Case Study: Confluent Medical achieves unified global supply chain visibility and a single source of truth with Kinaxis

How Confluent Medical Technologies unified advanced planning across eight global manufacturing sites with Kinaxis

Confluent Medical Technologies is a fast-growing medical device manufacturer with more than 2,000 employees operating eight facilities in the US and Costa Rica, specializing in nitinol components, catheters and implantable textiles. Despite a single ERP platform across sites, the company faced fragmented data definitions, manual spreadsheets and re-entry, and limited end-to-end supply chain visibility that hindered timely decision making and didn’t scale with growth.

Confluent implemented Kinaxis Maestro for demand and supply planning, inventory optimization and S&OP, creating a single source of truth across all sites. The new advanced-planning solution eliminated data silos and manual errors, provided constantly refreshed, end-to-end visibility, enabled statistical forecasting and constraint-aware planning, and produced revenue forecasts that drive better executive discussions and operational decisions.
