OTTAWA, Feb. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), the leader in empowering people to make confident supply chain decisions, today announced that H. Lundbeck A/S has selected Kinaxis RapidResponse® to strengthen its planning capabilities and improve end-to-end visibility of its supply chain.

Lundbeck selected the Kinaxis RapidResponse platform, unique concurrent planning technique and a suite of applications. Kinaxis, in partnership with Syncronic, a Denmark-based provider of supply chain advisory, design, implementation and integration services, will help to connect Lundbeck's supply chain. The result will be improved visibility and planning capabilities giving everyone in the network access to the same data set and collaboration tools for what-next scenario planning and the ability to see the effect of changes throughout the supply chain immediately.

"We are excited to have earned the trust of Lundbeck to help them manage their supply chain planning," said John Sicard, CEO of Kinaxis. "Working together, we will help Lundbeck better monitor, plan and respond to changes across their supply chain, giving them the agility and speed needed to adapt and make changes in time to make a difference."
