Large Enterprise Industrial Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A large enterprise industrial manufacturing company faced limited visibility across its supply chain, misalignment between supply chain functions, and heavy dependence on IT to run planning processes. The company needed a more flexible, comprehensive planning platform to support S&OP, inventory and supply management, demand planning, and master production scheduling.

The company selected Kinaxis RapidResponse over niche point solutions and an in‑house build for its complete feature set, differentiated what‑if scenario capabilities, adaptability, and price/value. RapidResponse delivered “very significant” improvements in planning cycles, on‑time delivery, and inventory management, boosted response rates by 61–75%, and enabled hundreds of users to run ad‑hoc reports daily for better supply/demand alignment and purchasing decisions.
