Kinaxis Kinaxis: AI Visibility Report

kinaxis.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about inventory planning, Kinaxis ranks #9 of 15, a Visibility Score of 16 in Inventory Planning .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Kinaxis

One category, bottom third, fading fast against louder rivals.

Where it wins. Kinaxis does get mentioned in Inventory Planning conversations, appearing in 21% of relevant prompts. That keeps it on the AI-generated shortlist, even if rank 9 of 15 is far from commanding.

Where it loses. A 1.4% first-pick rate means buyers almost never hear its name first in the one race it competes in, and it is completely absent when AI models field questions about best overall tools, use-case fit, features, or budget trade-offs, leaving Blue Yonder, o9 Solutions, and SAP IBP to fill those slots.
