Your procurement process runs smoothly from requisition to payment—alerting you only when a problem needs your attention. Since Kenandy is on the cloud, everyone in your global supply chain—from your employees to your suppliers and contract manufacturers—can easily work together to make sure you get the right goods and services at the best cost.

Kenandy lets you automatically gain instant insight and control by seamlessly integrating trade promotion management and ERP into one easy-to-use system. Kenandy’s all-in-one solution gives you complete visibility across your internal and supply chain networks, enabling you to accurately target, forecast, plan, and execute successful trade promotions. You can make adjustments on-the-fly to respond to ever changing consumer demand, and gain the immediate insight you need to measure campaign effectiveness.

By leveraging the Salesforce1 Platform, Kenandy can focus its development efforts on innovative ERP business applications, without having to maintain data centers or develop core infrastructure or manage database software. Salesforce does that for us and for you! You can redirect a significant portion of your budget from maintaining in-house complex hardware and software infrastructure to implementing applications and business processes that provide real business value quickly. And you or your IT staff can quickly build extensions or custom apps as needed for the unique needs of your business.

ON-PREMISES

Similar to a two-tier strategy, you may prefer to keep your on-premises ERP as a system of record for core functions, like financials. However, these systems do not have the speed and agility required to capture the opportunities of the connected economy. Kenandy can be implemented as an agile system of engagement on top of your existing ERP investments to orchestrate the new processes required to capitalize on the connected economy.

KenandyTM Cloud ERP

Both the two-tier and system of engagement deployment models offer you a proof of concept to experience the benefits of cloud ERP without disrupting your existing ERP. Integration with your existing ERP is easy to accomplish. And over time, as you see benefits, you can easily move more of your operations to the cloud.

Core

CORPORATE ERP

For companies that are running aging legacy systems, the time has come for a full ERP replacement. Rather than take on a multi-year on-premises implementation, customers are moving to the cloud as a way to leapfrog into a modern architecture. Implement Kenandy Cloud ERP as your core operational system and get the benefits of faster time-to-value, greater collaboration with your customers and partners, and more flexibility to adapt to changing business demands.
