Manufacturing is changing. Dramatically. As vertically integrated manufacturing disappears, replaced by today's horizontal networks of global suppliers and distributors, manufacturing companies require lean, agile, collaborative operations to maintain market value and efficiently deliver innovative products. Traditional ERP systems just haven't evolved with the challenge—lacking a social platform, mobility, and openness, they are neither lean nor agile, and tend to impede rather than foster collaboration and innovation.

Kenandy envisioned a better way. And we've delivered it—a new kind of application in the cloud. Designed specifically for the realities of today's distributed manufacturing operations and global supply chain networks.

Built 100% natively on the highly evolved Force.com, salesforce.com's enterprise cloud computing platform, Kenandy leverages the platform's amazingly flexible social, mobile, and open features, bringing a use-just-what-you-need approach together with social media capabilities to meet today's challenges of inventory management, engineering, purchasing, production, and resource planning for better manufacturing management.

With no software or hardware to own, no horrific future upgrades, the secure, on-demand Kenandy application enables manufacturers to be everything they want to be: lean, agile, collaborative, and innovative.

Welcome to our world—the new collaborative world of manufacturing in the cloud.
