Case Study: Carolina Biological achieves real-time inventory accuracy and operational efficiency with RF-SMART

How RF-SMART helped Carolina Biological save time and increase their accuracy

Carolina Biological Supply Company, the expert in science and math supplies for educators, needed greater inventory accuracy and operational efficiency after implementing JD Edwards. Their original RF solution would not work with JDE, so RF-SMART (RF-SMART for JD Edwards) was brought in to support their barcoding and warehouse automation initiative.

RF-SMART implemented standard pick-and-pack plus advanced JDE integrations—Create Transfer Order, Cycle Count, and Print Suite Bridge—across all eight locations, automating transfer orders, centralizing label printing for thousands of labels a day on 20+ printers, and replacing annual physicals with real-time cycle counts. The result: counts that once took days now take hours, standardized labels and fewer errors, reduced labor, and improved uptime and support thanks to RF-SMART.
