STL SELECTS KINAXIS PLANNING ONE TO STRENGTHEN SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING ACROSS GLOBAL OPERATIONS

STL, a leading optical and digital solution company, has selected Kinaxis Inc.'s Kinaxis Planning One to strengthen its supply chain planning capabilities and improve decision-making speed across its global operations.

The deployment reflects Kinaxis's continued commitment to the Indian market and represents another milestone in expanding customer access through its growing network of value-added reseller partners and its first customer win through the company's Google Marketplace mid-market initiative.

"Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to respond to volatility with faster, more co-ordinated decisions," said Ray Curbelo, senior vice-president, global partner organization, at Kinaxis. "This engagement with STL reflects both the growing demand for modern supply chain planning in India and the role our partner ecosystem and Google Marketplace initiative are playing in expanding access to Kinaxis Planning One."

By implementing Kinaxis Planning One, STL will enhance visibility across its supply chain, improve cross-functional co-ordination, and better respond to changing demand and supply conditions.

"For STL, strengthening supply chain planning is essential to how we operate and deliver for customers," said Rahul Puri, chief executive officer, STL. "Kinaxis Planning One will help us improve visibility across operations, respond more quickly to change and support more consistent execution as our business continues to grow."

The announcement builds on Kinaxis's growing presence in India, where manufacturers are investing in advanced planning technologies to support business growth, improve resilience and compete more effectively in global markets.
