(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.
Brother operates manufacturing, development and sales facilities in more than 40 countries across the globe and exceeds ¥80 billion in worldwide sales with its wide range of products and services including printers, labeling systems, industrial and home sewing machines, garment printers, digital printing equipment, and more.

“From the beginning, Kinaxis demonstrated a clear understanding of our business and all its complexities. From there we formed a partnership based on trust and a passion for innovative solutions, like their unique approach to supply chain orchestration, which made the decision to go forward with this transformation easy,” said Kosaku Sakai, production strategy planning department manager at Brother Industries, LTD. “We are excited for our supply chain to be more efficient and more adaptable to change as we continue to grow. Our number one priority is our customers, and we are eager to provide more value for them with Kinaxis.”

The only way to manage it is with complete visibility,” said Toshiya Kaneko, president at Kinaxis Japan. “We are thrilled to be working with Brother to confidently orchestrate their entire supply chain – allowing them to continue to expand and deliver more value to their customers.”
