TraceLink, which is the largest agentic business network in the world, and Kinaxis, a leader in supply chain orchestration, announced an expanded strategic partnership on April 15, 2026, so as to connect supply chain decisions and real-time execution.
Kinaxis Network Collaboration by TraceLink unifies Kinaxis Maestro™ concurrent planning with live trading partner data from the TraceLink network, thereby creating a continuous, multienterprise orchestration that allows for faster response to change.
According to President and CEO of TraceLink, Shabbir Dahod, “The next generation of supply chain performance will be defined by how well organizations share and act on real-time knowledge acquired from across their end-to-end supply chain networks. When companies establish a real-time data and metadata foundation, planning stops being a periodic exercise and becomes a continuous, network-wide capability. That foundation is what drives agentic operations.”
Real-Time Data with Simultaneous Planning
The integration goes on to combine the real-time signals of inventory and order status as well as external manufacturing activity from trading partners throughout the TraceLink network with the Maestro supply-demand trade-off analysis as well as scenario simulation.
TraceLink offers the multienterprise network and orchestration layer with its Integrate-Onceâ„¢ model, and Maestro drives planning and decision-making to keep plans aligned with execution at all times.
TraceLink enables digital sharing of forecasts and replenishment plans produced by Maestro with contract manufacturers and suppliers. The Multienterprise Information Network Tower – MINT receives partner responses – confirmations, commitments, and inventory data and eliminates the manual, spreadsheet-based coordination.
As per Executive Vice President of Partnerships & Alliances, Global Partner Organization at Kinaxis, Conrad Mandala, “Life sciences supply chains are more interconnected and dynamic than ever, yet most organizations still lack real-time visibility across their partner networks. Together with TraceLink, Kinaxis is extending orchestration beyond the enterprise by combining real-time, multienterprise data with AI-infused decision-making. This enables companies to respond faster, continuously adapt to change, reduce risk, and deliver better outcomes for patients.”
Closing the gap between planning and implementation
The step to connect supply chain decisions and real-time execution and real-time execution helps automate cross-company exception management, which happens when disruptions create a gap between planned demand and partner commitments.
Process Orchestration for Empowered Teams –Â POETÂ from TraceLink allows teams to initiate structured workflows using common, no-code process templates; see issues on shared dashboards, orchestrate responses and audit all activities, replacing disjointed email and spreadsheet workflows.
Faster, More Aligned Supply Chain Decisions
TraceLink’s network of 300,000+ authenticated supply chain entities and Integrate-Once™ model enable customers to quickly connect to any trading partner so as to gain real-time visibility throughout complex manufacturing and distribution ecosystems.
It supports use cases like orchestrating production across contract manufacturers, tracking inventory across distribution partners, and aligning forecasts with suppliers, allowing earlier detection of disruptions and faster, coordinated response.
The result? Improved supply and demand alignment, less manual reconciliation, increased service levels, and more predictable execution across partner ecosystems.
Increasing Adoption Across Life Sciences
TraceLink and Kinaxis are going to showcase the joint solution at LogiPharma Europe in April 2026, outlining how continuous planning powered by live multienterprise data enhances response time to disruptions and simulation as well as coordinated action to ensure supply continuity.
