Kinaxis Inc. (TSX: KXS), the authority in driving agility for fast, confident decision-making in an unpredictable world, and Exiger, the SaaS company revolutionizing the way corporations, government agencies and banks manage supply chain risk, announced a strategic partnership to enhance proactive supply chain planning with sub-tier supplier visibility, supplier risk detection, and supply chain health analytics.

 

Exiger will join the Kinaxis Ecosystem as a Solution Extension Partner under Kinaxis PartnerLink. This partnership further broadens the reach of their joint solution to augment the value customers can gain from RapidResponse®. By delivering digital risk management signals, customers can leverage the power of concurrent planning to extend the capabilities of the platform.

 

The partnership brings together Exiger’s cutting-edge AI with the Kinaxis RapidResponse platform to improve customers’ n-th tier supplier and part-level visibility, automate assessments of supplier risk, provide mitigation recommendations, and seamlessly deploy supply chain resilience plans in real-time. Exiger will collaborate with Kinaxis to bring proactive solutions to their respective customers and prospects to mitigate risks to their supply chains.

 

Exiger and Kinaxis will work to bring this solution to Exiger’s FedRAMP SaaS platform which provides access to 16.8 million unique supply chains, 600 million legal entities, and 7 billion source records of supply chain installations––all risk-ranked by 200+ different risk categories and subcategories.  

 

“Empowering real-time supply chain planning with accurate multi-tier supply visibility and risk scoring delivers control back to the hands of supply chain, acquisition, procurement and compliance professionals,” said Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger. “The US Federal Government and companies are grappling with the effects of geopolitical strife, climate disasters, financial volatility, and the high cost of capital putting suppliers at risk. Once procurement leaders are empowered with risk and supply transparency, they can turn that knowledge into a more frictionless procurement strategy.”
