Case Study: Industries for the Blind and Visually Impaired (IBVI) achieves 15% higher line output and faster, more accurate inventory with RF‑SMART

IBVI Grows their Business with RF-SMART & Oracle SCM Cloud

Industries for the Blind and Visually Impaired (IBVI) is a nonprofit supplier of mission‑critical military and government products that employs roughly 50% people who are blind or visually impaired. Facing inaccurate, siloed systems across stores, warehouse, manufacturing and furniture operations, IBVI moved to Oracle SCM Cloud and selected RF‑SMART to replace their standalone WMS and create a single system of truth that could scale with growth.

RF‑SMART was deployed with Oracle SCM Cloud to handle receiving, put‑away, cycle counts, manufacturing work orders, picking, packing, shipping and inventory movement, plus Ship Confirm and Pick‑Pack‑Ship/ASN capabilities to enable EDI and shipment visibility in Oracle. As a result of RF‑SMART’s solution, IBVI reduced headcount while increasing order picking by 5%, raised overall line output by 15%, completed a full inventory in three days (vs. a prior two‑week shutdown), and achieved ~99% inventory accuracy, improving shipping visibility and customer compliance.
