FAQs
Kinaxis Maestro is an AI-powered, cloud-based platform for end-to-end supply chain planning and decision-making. Its capabilities span key planning applications such as demand and supply planning, S&OP, inventory optimization, and real-time scenario simulation – all integrated into a single, connected environment. Leveraging advanced AI and analytics, the platform enhances forecasting accuracy, speeds up scenario evaluation, and empowers faster, more informed decisions.
Kinaxis sets itself apart by offering real-time end-to-end transparency across the entire supply chain. Unlike traditional planning tools that rely on overnight batch runs, Kinaxis enables instant scenario planning and impact analysis – so you can respond to changes in seconds, not days. With one connected data model and a single version of truth, cross-functional teams gain full visibility and can make aligned, confident decisions faster than ever.
A key differentiator of Kinaxis Maestro compared to traditional tools is its Concurrent Planning approach. This is an end-to-end, holistic planning method that connects all parts of the supply chain in real time. Changes in one area – such as demand, inventory, or capacity – are instantly visible and aligned across the entire plan. This breaks down silos, shortens planning cycles, and enables faster, more informed decisions than traditional, sequential planning methods.
Powered by advanced in-memory technology, Kinaxis Maestro lets you create, compare, and evaluate unlimited scenarios in real time—without delays or overnight batch runs. Changes are calculated instantly, giving you immediate visibility into their impact on demand, supply, inventory, and financials. This enables you to quickly weigh alternatives and select the best course of action for your business.
