Case Study: Alaska Railroad Corporation eliminates week-long data delays and boosts inventory accuracy by 20% with RF-SMART

The Alaska Railroad Engineers a Better Warehouse with RF-SMART

Alaska Railroad Corporation, a full-service freight and passenger railroad serving Alaska, needed to modernize its supply warehouse after implementing JD Edwards. Facing paper-based processes, frequent data-entry delays of up to a week, and poor inventory visibility, they selected RF-SMART — a solution that integrates natively with JDE and enables handheld, real-time transactions.

RF-SMART’s implementation kept all data inside JD Edwards via the native JDE API and put transactions on handheld devices, eliminating the week-long data-entry lag, more than tripling annual cycle counts, and delivering a 20%+ increase in inventory accuracy. With RF-SMART, Alaska Railroad Corporation now maintains accurate, real-time inventory of critical components, improves resource utilization, and requires no custom interfaces or modifications.
