Kinaxis Inc., the authority in driving agility for fast, confident decision-making in an unpredictable world, announced a partnership with Google Cloud to make the market’s leading supply chain management solution, Kinaxis RapidResponse, available on Google Cloud.
RapidResponse is the only platform capable of delivering true concurrent planning, which enables the real-time transparency organizations need to make sound business decisions around their supply chain plans and execution. Both Kinaxis and Google Cloud recognize there’s also a growing shift amongst businesses to consider environmental, social and governance factors during decision-making, and the two companies share a vision around the role supply chains play toward a more sustainable future for all.

“Today’s leaders are seeking resilient, sustainable supply chain solutions to power their business,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “We believe the cloud can play a fundamental role in accelerating this progress, which is why we’re proud to partner with Kinaxis and provide companies with the technologies they need to make smarter use of the earth’s resources.”
RapidResponse supports key business processes such as demand and supply planning, integrated business planning, sales and operations planning (S&OP) and inventory management, and delivers end-to-end transparency with its control tower capabilities. Concurrent planning breaks down organizational silos, unifies disparate data under a single all-inclusive data model, and codifies business-wide trust through the continuous alignment of everyone and everything across a company’s end-to-end supply chain.
