Kinaxis Inc. (TSX: KXS) and Workday have launched a partnership to integrate Kinaxis Maestro® with Workday Adaptive Planning, creating a connected solution that leverages an AI-enabled, agentic framework. This integration provides a unified view of operational, financial, and workforce data, addressing the inefficiencies of siloed functions that often leave executives with outdated or incomplete information. By enabling real-time visibility and cross-functional scenario planning, the partnership helps organizations respond swiftly to disruptions, such as demand spikes or supplier issues, ensuring resilience and profitable growth.
“For the first time, supply chain realities, financial forecasts, and workforce strategies move together,” said Robert Courteau, executive chair at Kinaxis. “With an agentic framework connecting Kinaxis and Workday, executives can act in minutes with confidence, protecting margins, keeping customer commitments, and building resilience through connected scenario planning. With hundreds of joint customers already using both platforms, this partnership builds on that foundation to deliver greater value.”
Rob Enslin, president and chief commercial officer at Workday, added: “Today’s rapidly evolving business environment means leaders need to make critical decisions faster than ever, but often struggle with disconnected data. This partnership with Kinaxis will provide our customers with a unified view of their people, finance, and supply chain data, empowering them to respond with agility and drive profitable growth.”
The connected solution delivers transformative advantages for businesses:
Faster, Better Decisions: AI-enabled scenario planning across supply chain, finance, and HR enables rapid, confident responses to disruptions.
Stronger Financial Targets: Financial commitments are grounded in real-time operational and workforce data, improving accuracy.
Workforce Agility: Planning incorporates contingent labor, overtime, and hiring needs for flexible resource management.
Industry-Specific Value: Tailored offerings for sectors like consumer goods, life sciences, high-tech, automotive, and healthcare ensure relevance.
For example, when demand spikes, leaders can evaluate margin impacts, labor requirements, and production options in minutes. Similarly, if a supplier goes offline, executives can model alternatives and instantly assess revenue, cost, and staffing implications, fostering resilience through proactive planning.
The partnership addresses a critical market need as businesses face increasing volatility and disruption. Traditional siloed operations between supply chain, finance, and HR often result in delayed responses and missed opportunities. By leveraging Kinaxis’ AI-infused Maestro™ platform and Workday’s Adaptive Planning, this solution provides a unified data framework that enhances decision-making speed and accuracy. With hundreds of joint customers already utilizing both platforms, the partnership is poised to deliver immediate value, particularly in industries requiring agile supply chain orchestration.
