Stanley 1913 taps Kinaxis Maestro platform to sense potential supply chain hurdles and implement actions

Stanley 1913 has selected Kinaxis as it looks to modernise its supply chain and ensure operational efficiencies to help increasing consumer demand. 

Stanley 1913’s products are distributed in more than 60 countries worldwide.

The Kinaxis Maestro platform will enable its team to sense potential supply chain hurdles quickly, analyse impacts and mitigation options, and implement rapid actions to address or prevent challenges that impact supply.  

“We have explored use of advanced predictive analytics through machine learning and artificial intelligence, allowing us to gain end-to-end supply chain visibility and enabling powerful scenario planning to facilitate sustainable growth,” says Karthik Sivakumar, Vice President of Supply Chain and Operations at Stanley 1913.

“From the beginning, we aligned with Kinaxis on the importance of innovating to improve end-to-end distribution efficiencies - sustainably. The unique thinking that Kinaxis brings to the table, plus their ability to orchestrate our supply chain from planning to execution will help us deliver coveted Stanley 1913 products to our consumers, all while keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum.” 

“It’s not just economic and environmental disruption that can put pressure on supply chains, but unprecedented spikes in demand can as well,” says John Sicard, President and CEO at Kinaxis.

“The success of Stanley 1913’s hugely popular products needed to be considered when re-imagining their supply chain operations. We are thrilled to be part of their success story.”
