AI-Powered Supply Chain Management Aids Pharmaceutical Company

Pharmaceutical group Servier has selected Kinaxis, a developer of AI-powered supply chain management software, to improve transparency and visibility across its supply chain and accelerate time to market for its portfolio of drugs. 

Under the collaboration, Kinaxis will provide its software to allow Servier to connect and orchestrate its network end-to-end, from planning to last-mile delivery.

Kinaxis’ cloud-based software-as-a-service platform is designed to be a one-stop-shop for businesses to collect and monitor data on assets, coordinate supply chains and generate reports on trends over time.

Increasing supply chain visibility is a “vital requirement,” according to Servier, as pharmaceutical companies vie with varying jurisdictional regulations, demand variability and increased global disruptions.

“One of Servier’s principal ambitions is to be a resilient, growing and sustainable company that’s focused on a few areas where we can make the greatest impact globally for patients,” said Xavier Morelon, Servier’s head of supply chain. “To do so, we know we should rely on best-in-class partners like Kinaxis which are so critical to helping us become more agile and ensuring our supply chain can enable us to hit this lofty objective.”
