One environment for every planning decision

Plans that update in real time
Net-change recalculation instantly adjusts plans as demand, supply, or capacity shifts.
Scenario modeling before you commit

Built for food & beverage complexity
Native expiry and shelf-life management, with the scenario modeling to handle promotions, ingredient variability, and SKU proliferation.
Kinaxis orchestrates it. Nulogy executes it. LIDD connects them.
LIDD integrates Nulogy into Kinaxis Maestro so your external partners — co-packers, co-manufacturers, contract suppliers — feed live inventory, capacity, and production data directly into your plan. Every scenario reflects what your network can actually deliver.
One centralized planning ecosystem, one accountable partner to implement it.
Real-Time Network Visibility
Inventory, production output, and capacity status feed into Kinaxis continuously, so your plan reflect what your network can actually execute.
Capacity & Order Synchronization
Align forecasts, production orders, and supplier capacity in one workflow, enabling faster responses to changes in demand or supply.

Consistent Execution
Standardize workflows, data, and KPIs across partners, so planning, execution, and performance are consistent, measurable, and scalable — and your plan reflects what your network can actually deliver.
