Kenandy allows businesses to collect, store, manage and interpret data on product planning, manufacturing, delivery, financial reporting, general ledger, marketing and sales.[4][5][6] The company combines manufacturing software with cloud technology and social media[7] and is able to orchestrate SAP, Salesforce, and other functionality.[8]

Kenandy's founder Sandra Kurtzig set up the company in Redwood City, California, in 2010 and named it after her sons Ken and Andy. It was Salesforce's first cloud ERP application.[9][10] The company raised $10.5 million in August 2011 in a first round of funding led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Other investors included Salesforce.com and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.[7] Kurtzig announced in September 2015 she would step down as CEO with Chuck Berger being her successor.[11] The company grew to nearly 100 employees.[12] Kenandy raised another $11.5 million in a Series B funding in March 2016 from its previous investors and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The total funds raised by the company (including the first close on the Series B round in 2013) amount to $55 million.[4][13][14]

Kenandy was acquired by Rootstock Software on January 11, 2018.[15]
