OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain orchestration, is set to unveil new artificial intelligence capabilities in its Maestro™ platform at Kinexions North America 2025, the company’s global innovation conference. These AI capabilities are designed to accelerate the value that AI can create in supply chains, helping companies navigate an increasingly volatile global trade environment - whether they are just beginning their AI journey or already leveraging advanced automation.
The company will introduce AI agents that users can interact with to monitor, predict, and take action in real time — automating key tasks like inventory management and disruption mitigation. In addition, its agentic AI framework will enable companies to easily create their own AI agents on Maestro, making AI-driven supply chain orchestration accessible to businesses at any stage of AI maturity.
Additionally, new generative AI functionality will make interacting with supply chain data even more intuitive: in addition to creating customizable dashboards, users will be able to query their digital twin by asking questions in dozens of natural languages and receive instant, insightful answers to complex questions. This removes the technical skills typically required to interact with data, allowing teams to analyze scenarios, assess risks, and make informed decisions without requiring AI expertise. Existing generative AI from Kinaxis – Maestro Chat – has already been adopted by two-thirds of its user base and this new functionality will build on that success.
Finally, Kinaxis will showcase how it’s making predictive AI capabilities even more powerful and easy to use. AI-powered forecasting has traditionally been out of reach for many companies, requiring massive data sets, specialized expertise, and costly infrastructure. The company will build upon its unique machine learning-based sensing and forecasting capabilities that work with a wider range of data sets and that don’t require deep AI expertise, so companies of all sizes can take advantage of predictive intelligence.
“AI is transforming supply chains at a faster rate than any other technology has ever done before,” said Andrew Bell, chief product officer at Kinaxis. “By democratizing access to critical supply chain intelligence, removing complexity, and enabling increasingly autonomous operations, we are empowering organizations of all sizes and stages of maturity to unlock the real value of AI in their supply chains today.”
Kinaxis customers and industry leaders attending Kinexions 2025 will be the first to experience these AI innovations through exclusive demonstrations and hands-on sessions.
“Kinexions is the supply chain innovation event of the year and we’re so excited to showcase the latest supply chain AI capabilities there in 2025,” continued Bell. “We’re staying ahead of what our customers need to remain competitive today and in the future.”
