Kinaxis® Inc. announced that Castrol, a BP company, one of the world's leading lubricants brands, has selected Kinaxis for increased transparency across its supply chain to drive agility and accuracy. Castrol manufactures premium lubricants and serves customers in the automotive, industrial, energy, and marine sectors. Shifting from product manufacturing to more integrated solutions, Castrol recognized a need for a flexible planning platform to better anticipate customer needs, integrate agility and build resiliency across its global supply chain network.

With an initial focus in North and South America, Castrol intends to expand use of the Kinaxis RapidResponse® platform globally in a phased roll out that will deliver demand and supply planning capabilities alongside a more mature S&OP process. Castrol joins a growing number of high-performance companies who are adopting the Kinaxis industrial ecosystem.
