Case Study: Global LNG Exporting Company achieves 4x faster MRO spare parts management with RFgen Software

Liquefied natural gas exporter transforms MRO spare parts management with fast, efficient mobile barcoding

Global LNG Exporting Company faced a major materials-management setback after a merger: moving from IBM Maximo to SAP removed their barcoding capability and forced warehouse staff back onto paper processes while juggling two item numbers per part (Maximo and SAP). To restore efficiency, they evaluated and selected RFgen Software and its RFgen Mobile Foundations for SAP mobile barcoding solution to provide certified, seamless integration with SAP.

RFgen Software implemented real-time, bi-directional mobile apps that digitized receiving, issuing, storing, and picking at the point of scan, removing the need to translate Maximo numbers to SAP and eliminating paper-based commutes to fixed workstations. The RFgen solution delivered measurable results: automated MRO spare-parts management, improved inventory accuracy and labor utilization, a roughly 400% increase in warehouse speed, 75–93% shorter training times for new hires, and reduced operating costs through real-time visibility.
