Confluent Medical Sees Dramatic Improvements Around Supply Chain Visibility and Efficiency

OTTAWA, Ontario -- Businesswire -- Confluent Medical, a leading materials science, development and manufacturing partner to medical device manufacturers (“OEMs”), has experienced significant improvements to its end-to-end supply chain with Kinaxis. The medical technology (medtech) innovator, that delivers life-saving implants, minimally invasive delivery systems and other medical devices, deployed Kinaxis® in August 2023 with the help of Genpact and credits increased visibility and efficiency to the partnership.

The company specializes in the design, development and large-scale manufacturing of catheter-based devices and Nitinol components - a specialized metal alloy with super-elasticity and shape memory. With 8 facilities across the United States and Costa Rica, 2,000 employees and a wide range of products including complex catheters, high-precision polymer tubing and implantable textiles, the ability to react to any changes in any part of their supply chain quickly was paramount.

Jeff McCoun, vice president, global supply chain at Confluent Medical said, “We had a demand peak that nearly doubled and normally it would have taken months to re-sync our supply chain, but we did it in just weeks. Before Kinaxis, we were running separate spreadsheets for every part of the chain, no one was ever on the same page and if a change happened somewhere, it was never clear to anyone else in the chain. I’ve used other solutions over the course of my career, but I’ve never witnessed as fast and efficient a deployment and improvement as what we’ve seen with Kinaxis.”

Claire Rychlewski, executive vice president, global field sales at Kinaxis said, “Making this type of impact is what drives us. Confluent’s vision is to improve lives by delivering world-class medical devices through innovative material science, engineering, and manufacturing, and we are thrilled to be helping them do that. That’s a big win for all of us.”

Genpact began the Confluent Medical solution design in late 2022 and roll out to more sites and more users is already underway.

Kinaxis works with some of the biggest brands in the world across all sectors including CPG, automotive, high tech, life sciences and more. Its AI-powered technology and patented concurrency technique allows companies to orchestrate their supply chain network end-to-end from strategic planning to last-mile delivery.
