Paris, France – April 9, 2026 – AZAP and Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS) announce a new strategic partnership under which AZAP becomes a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) and integration partner for the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform in France. Through this partnership, AZAP will support mid-sized companies in France in transforming and orchestrating their supply chains with greater speed, intelligence, and adaptability. AZAP will also continue to develop, market, and integrate its own Azap4.0® solution. As part of this partnership, AZAP will offer the Maestro platform, including PlanningOne, to help mid-market companies accelerate value creation through AI-driven supply chain orchestration.
A partnership based on a shared vision of modern supply chain operations
Kinaxis, a leader in supply chain orchestration, and AZAP, a software publisher and integrator specialized in planning and flow optimization, are combining their expertise to help organizations better connect data, decisions, and teams across the entire supply chain.
As supply chains increasingly operate continuously rather than in fixed planning cycles, organizations must make faster and better-informed decisions in increasingly complex environments. The Maestro platform enables companies to simultaneously orchestrate planning and execution decisions in real time by bringing together data, constraints, and scenarios within a unified environment. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence, the Maestro platform helps organizations make faster and more reliable decisions, evaluate more scenarios, and continuously adapt to change—turning disruption into a competitive advantage.
With PlanningOne, Kinaxis offers a simplified deployment approach designed to help mid-market companies go live faster and generate value earlier. In this context, AZAP will act as a local partner for sales, integration, and ongoing support of the solution in France.
This partnership also reflects Kinaxis’ broader strategy to expand its global partner ecosystem in order to increase its market presence and accelerate customer value creation through trusted local expertise.
A decision driven by deep expertise in operations and planning
“What convinced us about AZAP was above all their deep understanding of enterprise planning and operational realities. Beyond tools, their teams have strong mastery of decision-making processes, industrial constraints, and how to structure planning in a way that is truly usable for companies,” said Fabienne Cêtre, Executive Vice President EMEA at Kinaxis. She added: “This ability to connect modeling, execution, and governance is essential to fully leverage a platform like Maestro, which is based on an end-to-end orchestration approach and advanced use of AI.”
Expanding access to a new generation of supply chain solutions
“We are very pleased with this partnership with Kinaxis, whose Maestro™ platform is a benchmark in orchestrating complex supply chains,” said Jean-Patrice Netter, President of AZAP, and Dominique Bourgoin, Managing Director of AZAP. “This partnership enables us to expand our ability to support companies in France with solutions adapted to their transformation and operational performance challenges,” they added.
AZAP has launched a skills development program to ensure that its teams are fully prepared to deploy and support the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform under the best possible conditions.
