To support MANE’s international planning capabilities and continued transformation, Kinaxis has been selected to provide a digital foundation to enable its growth.
Kinaxis – a leader in modern supply chain planning and orchestration, powering complex global supply chains and supporting those who manage them – has revealed that MANE has opted for Kinaxis to modernize its planning capabilities as it accelerates international growth as part of a broader enterprise-wide transformation initiative.
As one of the leading organizations worldwide in the flavors and fragrances industry, MANE is headquartered in the south of France with a significant footprint that spans multiple regions and customers across global markets. With a goal of investing in more connected, end-to-end planning capabilities to support increased operational complexity, MANE’s choice of the Kinaxis Maestro platform signifies a strong partnership for the future.
“Kinaxis offered the modern architecture and flexibility we were looking for to support our rapid transformation. We needed an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solution that could scale alongside our global footprint, support our teams across regions, and provide a single, reliable view of demand as we continue to grow,” says Scott Quinn, ERP Program Director at MANE.
The Kinaxis Maestro platform has proven capable of supporting complex, multi-region planning environments with speed, transparency, and confidence. Compared with major competitors in the market that rely on static data and sequential processes, this system enables teams to immediately see the impact of change, run scenarios in real time, and make quicker, better-informed decisions.
The Kinaxis Maestro program will offer MANE AI-powered demand planning built on a concurrent data model. This empowers teams to instantly assess change and align demand decisions across functions while providing the foundation to replace static, fragmented planning processes with a more agile and responsive approach.
Maestro – a powerful AI-infused supply chain platform – combines proprietary technologies and techniques that provide full transparency and agility across the entirety of the supply chain, from multi-year strategic planning to last-mile delivery.
“MANE’s rapid global expansion brings a new level of planning complexity, from sourcing natural raw materials and managing increasingly interconnected supply networks to meeting the needs of customers across diverse regional markets. Navigating this level of complexity requires a fundamentally different approach to planning, and MANE is demonstrating that kind of forward-thinking leadership by having selected Kinaxis to provide the orchestration capabilities needed to support their next phase of growth. With Maestro as their foundation, MANE will be better positioned to anticipate change, align decisions across the business, and scale with confidence. We’re excited to support them in this next chapter,” notes Mark Morgan, President of Global Commercial Operations at Kinaxis.
As demonstrated by its initial deployment, which focuses on demand planning with future phases expanding the Maestro development, MANE is undertaking a phased approach to its supply chain transformation as it continues to scale. Kinaxis, trusted by renowned global brands to provide the agility and predictability needed to navigate modern volatility and disruption, is ready to support MANE’s global growth plans.
