Case Study: Amtrak achieves 40% inventory reduction and faster maintenance with Bastian Solutions' ExactaWMS

Amtrak - Customer Case Study

Amtrak’s Bear, Delaware facility, which services AM‑FLEET passenger cars in the Northeastern Corridor, was managing more than 4,000 parts scattered across six repair shops and needed better inventory control and on‑time part delivery. To solve this, Amtrak engaged Bastian Solutions and deployed Exacta Supply Chain Software (ExactaWMS) alongside warehouse automation equipment.

Bastian Solutions implemented ExactaWMS with two pods of three horizontal carousels, two flow‑rack stacks for RF picking and putaway, a Template Order Processing module, and an electronic catalog interface to enable parallel picking and direct shop delivery. The solution reduced inventory dollars by 40%, increased worker productivity, and improved on‑time part delivery—speeding Amtrak’s maintenance cycles.
