WNS (Holdings) Limited (WNS) (NYSE:WNS), a leading provider of
global Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services, today announced
its strategic partnership with Kinaxis®, the provider of
RapidResponse®, a robust enterprise cloud service for supply chain
management (SCM) and sales and operations planning (S&OP).
According to the agreement, WNS will leverage Kinaxis’
RapidResponse to provide platform-based BPO services and solutions
across multiple supply chain management functions. RapidResponse is
the foundation on which many supply chain applications — S&OP,
Master Planning & Scheduling, Capacity and Constraint
Management, Inventory and Supply Management, Engineering Change
Management, Demand Management, and Order Promise Management, can be
rapidly deployed using a common data model and user interface, thus
enabling WNS to provide seamless supply chain process solutions to
their customers.
“Our clients are currently facing escalating risks and costs due
to high demand-supply volatility and complex global supply chains.
Streamlining planning and execution processes, and supporting
applications across a distributed network of supply chain partners
is something companies have been struggling to achieve,” said
Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS. “This strategic partnership
brings together Kinaxis’ transformational supply chain solutions
and expertise with WNS’s BPO service excellence and deep domain
knowledge in the Retail, CPG, Manufacturing and Electronics
Industries. With this partnership, we will create a value
proposition that will deliver end-to-end transparent, responsive,
intelligent and competitive supply chain solutions for our
clients,” he added.
“We are delighted to partner with WNS, a BPO leader that can
help maximize the potential of our product by applying their deep
domain insight and operational process excellence,” said Doug
Colbeth, CEO of Kinaxis. “We believe the complementary nature of
our technology with the WNS service portfolio offers a compelling
value proposition that will provide WNS clients with breakthroughs
in operations performance and corporate competitive advantage
through supply chain excellence.”
RapidResponse is a single product that delivers the underlying
planning, simulation and collaboration capabilities essential to
making long-term and short-term demand and supply balancing
decisions across the enterprise. With RapidResponse in its arsenal
of resources, WNS will help transform how clients manage their
supply chain consistent with the challenges and realities of
today’s business environment.
