(TSX: KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain orchestration, today announced that Brother, a Japanese multinational electronics and electrical equipment company, has selected Kinaxis to increase visibility and collaboration within its global supply chain, improve demand forecasting and create more accurate and agile scenario planning.
