Founded and headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, the origins of Kinaxis date back to 1984. The product that’s evolved to today's RapidResponse platform was first introduced in 1995 and now represents, we believe, one of the fastest growing and most innovative supply chain planning systems of record in the marketplace.
