Case Study: Alliance Resource Partners achieves 40% higher inventory accuracy and automates spare-parts management with RFgen Software

Alliance Resource Partners - Customer Case Study

Alliance Resource Partners, a major U.S. coal mining company operating eight mines, faced inaccurate, paper-based spare-parts tracking that reduced equipment uptime and required extra labor to reconcile counts against Oracle E-Business Suite. To modernize inventory workflows they selected RFgen Software and its RFgen Mobile Foundations for Oracle E-Business Suite to extend Oracle EBS to the warehouse with mobile barcode data collection.

RFgen Software implemented mobile apps and a custom cycle-count solution that eliminated paper transactions and updated Oracle in real time via barcode scans. The deployment improved inventory accuracy by 40%, sped up cycle counts, freed warehouse staff for higher-value tasks, and achieved rapid adoption across seven of eight sites (39 devices deployed), delivering measurable productivity and cost-control gains.
