Leading service parts planning provider introduces new functionalities...
Austin, Texas - June 13, 2006 - Baxter Planning Systems (www.bybaxter.com), the premier provider of aftermarket parts planning solutions, today
announced plans for a Summer release of Prophet 4.5, the latest version of the company’s industry-leading parts planning solution - Prophet by Baxter – which includes
several industry-unique features proven to provide immediate ROI and long term cost savings. The new Prophet release boasts two new powerful modules to be added to the
company’s advanced suite of planning tools.
Since its inception in 1993, Baxter has been leading the way for companies seeking to increase revenues and decrease costs. The new functionalities, Demand Sourcing and Supplier
Purchase Order Management, continue this trend of delivering innovative solutions to the service parts and supply chain industries.
“Baxter is very proud of its history and these new enhancements are totally unique to the industry,” said Greg Baxter, founder and president of Baxter Planning Systems. “No other planning vendors have this breadth of capability. Baxter is
alone in the new world of delivering Demand Sourcing and Supplier Purchase Order Management capabilities
Demand Sourcing increases productivity, and, subsequently, revenues by serving as a call center inventory selection solution that comprehends logistics networks, part chaining and distances
between part location and the desired delivery point. In addition, Demand Sourcing is a global solution that comprehends contractual customer entitlements and inventory availability. User-configurable sourcing strategies result in lower inventory and dramatically increased service levels.
Supplier Purchase Order Management is a Web-based supplier portal that enables real-time Planner/Buyer collaboration with multiple suppliers across multiple geographies. Users are easily able to negotiate acknowledgements, dates, quantities and costs with their suppliers.
Enhanced supplier performance reporting is driven via an archive of the interactive transaction history.
The new modules are fully integrated into the Prophet planning suite which will improve inventory availability and utilization.
