Austin, TX – May 13, 2015 — Baxter Planning Systems (Baxter), the pioneer and recognized leader in inventory planning and optimization solutions for the service supply chain, announced today that it is sponsoring INTERLOG, the globally recognized event for aftermarket service parts executives, for the 12th consecutive year. INTERLOG 2015 is produced by Worldwide Business Research (WBR), and held at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, California June 1-3.
“INTERLOG is an important meeting spot for service industry executives,” said Phillip Kennedy, Vice President of Product Management for Baxter Planning Systems. “It gives Baxter, and our clients, the opportunity to share best practices and industry trends, including opportunities to optimize the service supply chain through solutions like ours.”
Each year, WBR uses proprietary benchmark data to forecast the most influential trends shaping global parts supply chains and how they will be addressed at INTERLOG. This year, WBR incorporated its ongoing research gathered through interviews with industry leaders to identify the key agenda topics:
• Optimizing demand planning to create lean supply chains
• Leveraging IT solutions to unify disparate systems
• Increasing the effectiveness of remote diagnostics
“It’s no surprise that 2 of the 3 main INTERLOG agenda topics are directly related to Baxter’s solutions,” said Greg Baxter, founder and CEO of Baxter Planning Systems. “We have found more and more interest in our software and services to create service supply chain efficiencies in various industries. We look forward to discussing these topics and collaborating with other industry thought leaders at the event again this year.”
