AutoCrib User Conference

Industrial Vending Innovation Conference

AutoCrib, Inc. kicked off its 2009 Users Conference with a bang in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida with a speech by Rick Barrera, corporate strategist and marketing guru. Barrera showed the packed house of dealers and customers how rapidly shrinking macroeconomic cycles combined with the global financial meltdown could work to their advantage. Barrera also showed them how key strategic partners like AutoCrib could help them cut inventories by up to 90%, freeing up cash flow for operations during the downturn.

Following Rick Barrera on-stage was Steve Pixley, CEO and President of AutoCrib, who spoke about industrial vending as a cost-saving tool for the tough economy. Steve also announced several AutoCrib innovations, including the field-configurable RoboCrib, new AutoCrib website, AutoCrib University and major software enhancements. Another keynote speaker was Mr. Jon Schreibfeder, President of Effective Inventory Management, who spoke on managing for cash flow in a downturn and how to leverage your largest asset to improve your bottom line.

"Our purpose for this event was to educate our distributors in how to use AutoCrib tools to make a difference in both their sales and support efforts," explains Steve Pixley, CEO. "We also wanted to showcase end-users that have used AutoCrib in unique ways, made the information delivered by AutoCrib a key component of their business process or productivity analysis, or used it to help overcome obstacles."
