Case Study: BTD Manufacturing, Inc. achieves 60% fewer inventory errors and 3x faster transactions with RF-SMART

BTD Finds a Solution to Meet Diverse Inventory Control Needs

BTD Manufacturing, Inc., a multi-plant metalwork company using Microsoft Dynamics AX, faced slow AX form load times, no barcode scanning, and delayed journal postings that caused frequent inventory inaccuracies and costly monthly verifications (about $10,000). To solve this they evaluated Automated Data Collection solutions and selected RF-SMART to provide real-time mobile inventory transactions integrated with Dynamics AX.

RF-SMART was implemented and fully live within three weeks, converting transactions to scanned entry and auto-posting inventory to AX in real time. As a result, each transaction now takes one‑third the time, BTD processes 750–1,000 transactions daily, inventory errors fell by over 60%, and inventory counts were reduced by 50%, delivering significantly improved visibility, traceability, and labor savings.
