The Silicon Review Interviewed Mario Baddour, CEO of InteLogix. Here is a Glimpse into his Vision for the future of business services.

From GC Services to InteLogix: The Rebranding Story

GC Services was founded in 1957 as an accounts receivable management company in Houston, Texas. Since then, the company has grown internationally and now provides specialized end-to-end services to a wide range of industries. Industry transformation brought about by the digital age made the company aware of the need for a novel strategy that could combine technological and human capabilities to provide intelligent, integrated solutions. The company's deep dedication to compassionate customer service and the need for transformation drove the decision to rebrand as InteLogix. This powerful brand accurately captures the firm's vision to maximize human potential and utilize technology to develop smart and integrated solutions for a wide range of clients and regions.

“Our dedication to providing intelligent, integrated solutions that not only adhere to but also set the standard for best practices in the sector is symbolized by the name of our company, InteLogix. We are defining the digital transformation trend rather than merely following it to make sure that technology enhances rather than replaces the human connection,” says Mario Baddour.

The company's global expansion is reflected in the new name as it continues to work with its long-standing clients while collaborating with new businesses. Baddour further added, “GC Services, now powered by InteLogix, will continue to be a vital part of the brand as our Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) branch, paying tribute to our roots and honoring the company’s strong legacy.

Mario Baddour, the stalwart responsible for InteLogix's revolutionary transformation

Businesses today need to develop and adapt if they want to be competitive in the fast-paced digital era. Mario Baddour, CEO and President of InteLogix, an established provider of business services, excels in this area. InteLogix was rebranded from GC Services, a business with over 65 years of service delivery excellence in the Business Process Management (BPM) industry, under Baddour's management. InteLogix had a wealth of expertise and a vision that was constantly evolving.

This evolution didn't happen by itself. It has been fueled by Baddour and the InteLogix team's attention to a number of crucial areas. Baddour specifically calls attention to these factors:

Digital Transformation: According to Baddour, the foremost factor is digital transformation. It is a complex topic that has existed for years, and recently, thanks to ChatGPT, Bard, Metaverse, etc., Generative AI has dominated the conversations and become the theme of digital transformations. “At InteLogix, we will continue to lead our digital transformation while guided by our clear vision and strategy. Our understanding of digital technology will eventually drive our digital advantage. Our aim is to have a hybrid of both proprietary software and partnering with industry-leading platforms to drive human augmentation in all our interactions with our customers,” Baddour explains.

Data Science: The enhanced focus on insights and analytics, derived from data and telemetry analysis, is perceived as the pivotal catalyst for successful digital transformation and an outstanding customer experience. Baddour comments that “Data-driven decision making by collecting, managing, analyzing, and, most importantly, securing data to derive insights and innovative solutions that transform our business and our clients’ businesses is a main focus at InteLogix.”

Culture: Mario Baddour does not ignore the effect the last few years have had on businesses in general, but also his own company culture. “Despite the fact that we have built an infectious, caring culture across all levels of the organization at InteLogix, the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to dramatically shift how our business should operate and forced us to revisit several elements related to our culture. For example, flexibility and adaptability led us to bolster our remote work capabilities as we adopted a hybrid work model. Investing in resilience and mental health programs by valuing work-life balance is also a priority for our organization.” He believes that a company that cares about its people will foster a work environment that inspires creativity, nurtures innovation, and motivates employees to consistently deliver their best.

ESG: ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) refers to the critical factors used to evaluate a company's sustainable and ethical practices, encompassing its environmental impact, social relationships, and governance structures. Baddour states that he’s committed to “integrating ESG at every level of the business, making it a core part of the organization’s identity and day-to-day operations at InteLogix. This includes the adoption of industry standard frameworks leading to transparency and reporting on goals, progress, and setbacks. Risk management will be at the center of our initiatives at InteLogix. Our future-friendly yet future-proof brand is focused on reducing the risk of business disruption that could potentially result from climate change and natural disasters, including geopolitical instability.”

InteLogix’s Customer-Centric Approach

At InteLogix, client satisfaction is the driving force behind innovation and service delivery. “We view every interaction with a customer as an opportunity to create memorable experiences and build stronger relationships. This approach, combined with the utilization of cutting-edge technology, has enabled the company to deliver exceptional service across a wide array of industries. Our user-centered, customer-first culture allows us to architect personalized solutions with the customer in mind. We believe in the power of human augmentation by combining digital solutions with cognitive empathy to create memorable experiences that lead to repeat customers.”

The InteLogix suite of services is extensive, covering everything from providing first-rate field support in the tolling industry to improving customer experience with end-to-end solutions, leveraging technology to improve capabilities, strategic integrations, data-driven insights, and predictive analytics.

InteLogix’s Dream Team

Behind all the trailblazing initiatives is the InteLogix team. Baddour boasts about the opportunity he has had to assemble one of the finest groups of expert professionals in the industry. He says, “The majority of our team members have experienced various facets of the supply chain and are capable of understanding both the customer value chain as well as product design. The result of that is an individual that can quickly become trusted advisor to our clients through a user-centered approach that’s built on collaboration, communication, innovation, and a problem-solving mindset.”

InteLogix team members’ genuine and contagious passion for their work radiates throughout the organization, serving as a daily source of inspiration to everyone, including the company's leadership.

As they embark on this exciting journey, one thing is clear: InteLogix is not just about providing top-notch business services; it's about empowering businesses to excel through a unique blend of human empathy and advanced digital solutions. The company continues to chart new territory in the BPM sector.

As InteLogix, the company remains committed to a journey of constant growth and innovation, providing the highest standards of service and setting the stage for a new era of excellence.
