Kinaxis has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner ® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions for eleven times in a row. Kinaxis has also been recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions for Process Industries and Discrete Industries.

“In our opinion, being named a Leader reflects the growing need for supply chains to deliver measurable business outcomes in the face of constant disruption,” said Andrew Bell, Chief Product Officer at Kinaxis. “Organizations today must maintain and improve service levels, optimize working capital, and respond to volatility in real time. Maestro unifies planning and execution in a concurrent environment where automation and AI help teams act with speed and confidence, driving adaptability that sustains performance.”

As supply chains increasingly operate continuously rather than in fixed planning cycles, organizations require orchestration that keeps pace with constant change. Kinaxis delivers this through Maestro™, its AI-powered platform spanning S&OP, demand, supply, inventory, production planning and scheduling. By combining deterministic automation and composable agentic AI in a shared concurrent model, Maestro enables confident decision-making at enterprise scale across organizations from the mid-market to global enterprises.

With expanded Maestro Agents, Maestro Agent Studio, and a unified data foundation, Kinaxis supports both repeatable execution and adaptive reasoning within a governed environment. These advancements are supported by strategic partnerships including Databricks and with other leading software vendors in the broader enterprise ecosystem. Innovation is further reinforced by Kinaxis’ expanding intellectual property portfolio, which includes nearly 90 issued patents globally and a significant number of additional patents pending across multiple jurisdictions. Approximately 45% of the portfolio focuses on AI and machine learning, underscoring continued investment in intelligent supply chain orchestration.

PITTSBURGH & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 29, 2026--

Lunchables is turning up the heat on a fan debate with the limited-edition Lunchables Pizza Grill, the first-ever device designed for heating up Lunchables Pizza. Debuting in honor of National Pizza Month, the Lunchables Pizza Grill invites fans to finally put one of the brand’s most spirited debates to the test: is Lunchables Pizza best enjoyed hot or cold?

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260929069812/en/

For more than 30 years, Lunchables Pizza has famously been enjoyed cold — just unbox, top and eat. However, fans have increasingly been heating up their pizzas at home and taking to social media to debate which way is best. Today, more than a third of fans now say they are opting to enjoy their Lunchables Pizza warm.¹ The Lunchables Pizza Grill turns that fan behavior into part of the fun: unpack, build your pizzas, light the fire and let them sizzle for a warm, melty take on the classic. Custom designed to fit all three pizzas in a pack, the Lunchables Pizza Grill is letting fans decide once and for all whether they’re Team Hot or Team Cold.

“Lunchables has always given fans the freedom to mix, match and make mealtime their own,” said Brittany Piszynski, Director of Marketing for Lunchables. “When we saw fans putting their own spin on our beloved Lunchables Pizza varieties and sparking a spirited debate on social media over the best way to enjoy them — hot vs. cold — we knew we had to get in on the fun. The Lunchables Pizza Grill celebrates the creativity fans already bring to a longtime favorite, while giving them a delicious new way that’s engineered to put their preferences to the ultimate test.”

As the lunchtime legend for decades, Lunchables brings adults and kids alike so many ways to enjoy mealtime with real, delicious food — from Cracker Stackers and Pizza to Nachos and more. The Lunchables Pizza Grill brings that same customizable spirit to one of the brand’s most iconic offerings, delivering another way for fans to enjoy the OG meal you never outgrow.

The limited-edition Lunchables Pizza Grill will be available on Walmart.com in October while supplies last. Every purchase will also include a coupon for one free Lunchables Pizza pack, giving fans everything they need to celebrate National Pizza Month their way.
