Alamo Group Implements RF-SMART Solution for JD Edwards. Check it out:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- ICS, Inc., developers of the RF-SMART(R) brand of wireless, mobile and RFID software solutions for JD Edwards(R) enterprise software from Oracle(R), announced that Alamo Group has implemented RF-SMART beginning in their Seguin, Texas, facility.
Alamo Group is a leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of industrial and agricultural maintenance equipment. Their products include mowers, loaders, excavators, street sweepers, backhoes, tillers, and related aftermarket parts.
"We searched for a cost effective, scaleable solution to multiple business challenges," noted Keith W. Vinyard, Alamo Group's Vice President, Information Technology. "One of our greatest operational needs was to move from batched data entry to real-time data collection to provide up-to-the minute information on inventory, sales order picking and shipping status, work order status, and other peripheral data collection capabilities."
Alamo Group selected RF-SMART's Manufacturing and Distribution suites based on the product's strength, its easy adaptability to their growth needs, and its reasonable total cost of ownership. "RF-SMART proved to be the solution to our many needs and growth opportunities," Vinyard said. "Part of our growth is through well-managed acquisitions. RF-SMART's flexibility helps us be prepared and easily address those transitions."
"ICS has provided an excellent level of service to Alamo Group and has been prompt and attentive to our business requirements. The level of support before, during, and after the implementation process has been exceptional," said Rick Solano, ERP Application Specialist for Alamo Group. "RF-SMART is very easy to use and well-accepted amongst our employees, the functionality and performance has been extremely stable and reliable, and we look forward to implementing the solution at our other USA facilities."
Alamo Group will implement RF-SMART in their remaining USA facilities by the end of this year, keeping within their planned schedule.
