ketteQ Offers Kinaxis Customers a Faster Path to AI-Native Planning, No Replacement Required

Companies can connect Quintus™ to an existing Kinaxis environment and be operating in days at no cost or commitment, with live demonstrations and a customer panel at Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit 2026

Atlanta, GA – November 2, 2026 – ketteQ, the supply chain orchestration company, today introduced a new way for Kinaxis customers to bring AI-native planning to the systems they already run. Through a no-cost, no-commitment offer, companies can connect Quintus™, ketteQ’s AI orchestration layer, to a Kinaxis environment in minutes and have working use cases running within days, without replacing their existing planning investment. ketteQ will demonstrate the offer at Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit 2026, November 2-3 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Denver, where attendees can bring a real planning question to booth #212 and see Quintus answer it live.

Speed as the Starting Point

Many companies have made significant investments in their planning platforms, but planners still struggle with the same questions: Can they trust the results? Do they understand the reasoning behind a recommendation? And can they act quickly enough to change the outcome? Replacing a planning system to address those questions can take months or years. ketteQ’s approach is designed to deliver value in days instead.

Quintus sits above existing ERP and planning systems and meets users where they already work, including chat, email, Microsoft Teams and Salesforce. Underneath it, PolymatiQ™, ketteQ’s patent-pending agentic solver, evaluates feasible options against real operating constraints, so Quintus can answer a planning question rather than simply run a report.

General-purpose AI assistants can add a conversational interface to planning data, but they aren’t designed for supply chain processes, constraints or trade-offs. Quintus is built for supply chain work, combining orchestration, constrained solving and governed action, with people in control of every decision.

“Companies shouldn’t have to discard a major planning investment, or wait months, to give their people a modern AI experience,” said Mike Landry, CEO of ketteQ.

“Speed is what sets ketteQ apart. We can connect in minutes and be running on a production Kinaxis system in a few days. Quintus orchestrates, PolymatiQ solves and the customer stays in control.”

For Kinaxis customers, ketteQ can help teams:

• Connect to a Kinaxis environment in minutes and begin operating in days, subject to data, security and technical readiness.

• Improve plan quality by evaluating more feasible options against real operating constraints.

• Make planning outputs easier to understand, with visible rationale, trade-offs, approvals and audit trails.

• Move faster from a disruption or exception to a decision and governed action.

• Try ketteQ on top of their existing technology investment at no cost or commitment.

Customers Share Real Lessons at Gartner

At the Summit, executives from Lumen, Johnson Controls, Zeus and others will join ketteQ for a session, “Scaling Agentic AI in Supply Chain Planning: Real Lessons from Lumen, JCI and Zeus,” on Monday, November 2, 2026, from 2:30 to 3:00 p.m. MST. The panel will discuss what changed once their teams stopped waiting on their planning systems and started asking them questions.

Attendees can also book one-on-one conversations in the Quintus Lab with executives from Lumen, Zeus, Johnson Controls, ACG, Lippert and NCR Voyix who use Quintus today, or walk up to booth #212 to ask Quintus a question live, with no prepared demo script.
