Ottawa’s Kinaxis has added a major automaker to its client portfolio in a deal that executives are framing as a long-term partnership.
The Kanata-based firm, which sells supply chain management software, announced last week that Nissan Motors will use its flagship RapidResponse product to track production and sales analytics across its operations.
Koichiro Sakakibara, a representative of Nissan’s manufacturing division, said in a statement that this was the beginning of “a long-term partnership” between the two firms, highlighting the flexibility and scalability of RapidResponse in managing Nissan’s global supply chain.
