Our story

‘’While we were busy solving problems for our customers, we saw an even bigger challenge for the industry as a whole’’

With a legacy from the pure consulting world, we saw that every time our customers and their challengers solved a key challenge through advisory with us or with others, the needle would always move shortly after.

After heavy investing in an engagement, supply chain intensive organizations world would be left with root cause issues and limited ways of determining cause and effect relationships, synthesising data and regularly assessing performance. And so,another cycle of advisory would begin.

As supply chain complexity, regulatory pressures and customer demands increased, this only became more apparent.

That’s when Kinver was born.

We brought together the brightest minds in supply chain and technology to build a ‘secret sauce’ suite of digital solutions enhanced through advisory in a transformative business model that delivers impact continuously and delivers value at the speed of business.
