Kinaxis Recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Reports for Supply Chain Planning

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinaxis^® Inc. (TSX: KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced it has been positioned as a Leader in both the 2026 Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions for Discrete Industries and the 2026 Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions for Process Industries. In both reports, Gartner recognized Kinaxis for its ability to execute and completeness of vision.

Kinaxis has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions for eleven times in a row. Kinaxis has also been recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions for Process Industries and Discrete Industries.

“In our opinion, being named a Leader reflects the growing need for supply chains to deliver measurable business outcomes in the face of constant disruption,” said Andrew Bell, Chief Product Officer at Kinaxis. “Organizations today must maintain and improve service levels, optimize working capital, and respond to volatility in real time. Maestro unifies planning and execution in a concurrent environment where automation and AI help teams act with speed and confidence, driving adaptability that sustains performance.”

As supply chains increasingly operate continuously rather than in fixed planning cycles, organizations require orchestration that keeps pace with constant change. Kinaxis delivers this through Maestro™, its AI-powered platform spanning S&OP, demand, supply, inventory, production planning and scheduling. By combining deterministic automation and composable agentic AI in a shared concurrent model, Maestro enables confident decision-making at enterprise scale across organizations from the mid-market to global enterprises.

With expanded Maestro Agents, Maestro Agent Studio, and a unified data foundation, Kinaxis supports both repeatable execution and adaptive reasoning within a governed environment. These advancements are supported by strategic partnerships including Databricks and with other leading software vendors in the broader enterprise ecosystem. Innovation is further reinforced by Kinaxis’ expanding intellectual property portfolio, which includes nearly 90 issued patents globally and a significant number of additional patents pending across multiple jurisdictions. Approximately 45% of the portfolio focuses on AI and machine learning, underscoring continued investment in intelligent supply chain orchestration.
