Business improvements using RFgen with JD Edwards Enterprise Applications

RFgen offers "plug and go" integration with JD Edwards Enterprise Applications, both World and Enterprise One and allows real-time data capture from a wide variety of hardware devices such as handheld electronic data capture devices, truck and fixed mounted terminals, as well as using both fixed and mobile label printers. With its high degree of scalability, JD Edwards certified RFgen can be quickly installed at one site and then rolled out to numerous additional facilities as needed. Its flexible architecture makes it easily adaptable to changes in business processes or requirements.

The use of RFgen has shown that connecting workers with real-time information substantially improves enterprise operational efficiency. Not only this, it can streamline internal decision making processes, facilitate communications between multiple business units, and improve the overall visibility of the supply chain. The following benefits can typically be seen from the introduction of RFgen based, real-time wireless and mobile solutions into the JD Edwards enterprise:

  • Improved productivity, timeliness and accuracy – the simple act of eliminating paperwork and moving to a paperless system almost always generates substantial returns in user productivity, timeliness and accuracy.
  • Enhanced decision making – when employees operate with access to accurate, up-to-the-minute information on work-in-process and material availability, their ability to plan, forecast and make better decisions is significantly enhanced.
  • Increased return on investment – enterprise system(s) are able to generate enhanced results and return on investment when they operate using accurate, real-time data instead of out-of-date information caused by delays in manual data entry, lost paperwork, or employee keying errors.
  • Empowered mobile workers – ensuring that your mobile workers can operate efficiently and successfully at their tasks is critical in today’s competitive environment; providing mobile workers with on-demand, remote access, to enterprise data is a key component in empowering their success.
  • Elevated customer satisfaction – whether its improved levels of customer service, smoother interactions using CRM, or an increase in on-time, accurate product shipments, customer satisfaction rates almost always improve after the adoption of enterprise integrated, RFgen based automated data collection solutions.

The RFgen Framework even supports cross-platform enterprise system updates. This means that a single transaction can perform real-time updates to multiple enterprise systems. This capability can even be extended to consolidate multiple applications into a single transaction to achieve substantial process efficiencies. Using the built-in capabilities of the RFgen Framework, it becomes easy to eliminate problems caused by paperwork backlogs or manual data entry errors while streamlining workflow and delivering benefits directly to the enterprise.
