Case Study: Nutanix achieves 46% reduction in days-of-supply and 99.9%+ service levels with Baxter Planning (Prophet & Planning-as-a-Service)

How Baxter’s solutions have helped to quickly scale and optimize Nutanix’s service supply chain

Nutanix, a fast-growing supplier of web-scale converged datacenter infrastructure, needed to support a rapidly expanding global installed base with 24x7 availability and strict on-site commitments (4-hour and next-day). The company lacked the internal bandwidth to plan and stage service spares efficiently while scaling support centers worldwide and wanted to focus its resources on core infrastructure innovation and implementation.

Nutanix paired Baxter’s Prophet planning software with Baxter’s Planning-as-a-Service, leveraging demand forecasting, inventory optimization, replenishment and supply order management, and intelligent part sourcing to align inventory with service SLAs. Within eight months Nutanix cut days of supply by over 46% while maintaining a 99.9%+ service level, giving the company confidence that the “right part is at the right place at the right time” as it continues to scale.
