With the partnership with Kinaxis, Blume Global would be able to integrate its logistics visibility and transportation management system (TMS) with Kinaxis RapidResponse concurrent planning platform
Blume Global, a global new-age logistics company, and Kinaxis, the leading provider of enterprise software applications, have joined hands wherein Blume Global’s logistics visibility and transportation management system (TMS) would be integrated with Kinaxis RapidResponse concurrent planning platform. The result will be better alignment between supply chain planning and execution, enabling companies to quickly remedy, or even avoid, freight transportation disruptions.
By combining Kinaxis’ unique concurrent planning technique with Blume Global’s TMS shipment data, companies will be able to dynamically generate new plans to quickly get shipments back on track and ultimately have improved supply chain resiliency. This means there would be a better alignment between supply chain planning and execution, enabling companies to quickly remedy, or even avoid, freight transportation disruptions.
“For nearly three years, the supply chain industry has been defined by uncertainty. That is likely to continue. While major disruptions used to occur every few years, we’re now facing significant events annually or even more frequently,” said Pervinder Johar, CEO, Blume Global. “Our partnership with Kinaxis will give customers around the world access to robust, innovative logistics planning and execution solutions so they can create agile processes that adapt quickly to even the most challenging circumstances,” added Johar.

John Sicard, CEO, Kinaxis, viewed, “The intersection point between supply chain planning and execution has never been more critical. When a disruption happens, it’s not enough just to be able to create a new plan quickly. Companies must be able to execute quickly as well.” “Our new offering with Blume Global helps companies do just that by delivering concurrent planning and execution, providing a new level of supply chain agility,” elaborated Sicard.
As part of the new combined offering, Blume Global will synchronize core TMS shipment data to RapidResponse providing real-time exception-based alerts that ensure customers focus on business-critical shipments and updated ETAs (electronic travel authorization) for shipments that exceed defined tolerance levels. From there, customers will be able to generate and execute alternate shipment plans with a full understanding of how the alternate plan will impact key performance measures.
