Gain Total Visibility and Control of Your Service Supply Chain
BaxterPredict brings all your planning data into one connected platform, helping planners forecast demand accurately, reduce stockouts, and meet every customer commitment.
THE CHALLENGE
Meet Inventory Planners and Managers
Inventory planners and managers are responsible for keeping the right spare parts in the right place at the right cost for every customer order. But with planning scattered across spreadsheets, ERP tools, and homegrown systems, their data is fragmented and outdated. They struggle to forecast demand accurately, communicate delivery expectations, and prevent escalations. Planners need a single, connected system to streamline their workflows and deliver consistent, on-time service performance.
The risks:
Poor demand visibility and stock imbalances
Inefficient, manual planning processes
SLA breaches and delayed issue resolution
