Baxter Planning’s Total Cost Optimization helps service organizations strike the right balance between inventory costs and service levels by identifying the stock levels that minimize both inventory and stockout costs. Unlike traditional models that rely on arbitrary service targets, this proprietary approach accounts for real-world costs like downtime, missed SLAs, and expedited shipping. Powered by BaxterPredict, the solution delivers smarter stocking decisions that support optimized fill rates and measurable financial outcomes.

  • Reduce carrying costs by more than 35% without compromising service quality
  • Increase first-time fix rates by over 25% by improving part availability
  • Boost team productivity by 40% through optimized fill rates and fewer disruptions
