The Challenge

Titan International, a manufacturer of off-road and all-road wheels and tires, sought to replace disparate and legacy ERP systems with a unified system to prepare for long-term growth. They chose Oracle SCM Cloud to achieve this goal. Additionally, Titan aimed to eliminate paper processes and manual inventory updates with a mobile solution to increase inventory accuracy and provide real-time visibility into material movements. The company needed a partner to mirror Oracle Cloud in the manufacturing environment and provide production reports, leading them to select RF-SMART based on recommendations from Oracle and their implementation partner.

About The Customer

Titan International is a leading manufacturer of off-road and all-road wheels and tires, serving as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with an extensive international distribution network that includes aftermarket channels. The company operates multiple facilities across North America and is focused on continuous growth and innovation. Titan's leadership is committed to modernizing their operations by implementing advanced technology solutions to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and support long-term business objectives. With a strong emphasis on inventory management and production reporting, Titan International is dedicated to maintaining high standards of operational excellence and customer satisfaction.

The Solution

Titan International implemented Oracle SCM Cloud at three North American locations, with plans to expand to four additional US locations over the next two years. To complement this, they selected RF-SMART to achieve their mobile inventory management goals. RF-SMART provided out-of-the-box functionality for receiving, item inquiry, putaway, label design, and printing. Production employees used RF-SMART on tablets and scanners to report pieces and print labels. The solution also enabled Titan to track trailers on their 80-acre lot, significantly reducing the time required for inventorying trailer locations. The integration of RF-SMART with Oracle SCM Cloud allowed for real-time inventory movements, eliminating paperwork and associated delays, and improving the speed and accuracy of receiving processes. The implementation was smooth, with RF-SMART's flexibility and ease of use facilitating quick adoption by Titan employees.

Operational Impact

RF-SMART provided real-time inventory visibility, allowing Titan to track inventory movements through 1.5 million square feet easily.
The solution eliminated the need for manual logging of transactions and data entry, saving significant labor hours.
Titan employees quickly adopted the new technology due to its simplified and intuitive user interface, making training new users a quick process.

Quantitative Benefit
