Why Managing Resources is Critical
Technology is critical to streamlining processes, maintaining tight budgetary control, and meeting other unique requirements for Public Sector organizations. With assets and resources spread across multiple locations and service areas, robust systems are required to properly manage and track their inventory. Enhancing capabilities with a mobile inventory solution for Oracle SCM Cloud helps Public Sector organizations gain visibility and improve productivity across their operations, all while reducing labor costs.
Manual Processes Impact the Community You Serve
Public sector organizations face unique inventory management challenges that directly affect their ability to serve citizens effectively. Poor visibility and inaccurate counts lead to shortages and excess inventory, while manual processes using outdated methods like pen and paper slow down operations.
Additionally, one of their largest controllable costs lies in preventative and timely maintenance operations, where poor inventory visibility can lead to delayed repairs and increased operational expenses. The transition to the right modern solution is complicated further by complex compliance requirements and strict budget constraints.

Enhancing your capabilities with a mobile inventory solution for Oracle SCM cloud can help you keep up with modern times and achieve better visibility and improve productivity, all while reducing labor costs.
Fixed Assets
Maintaining accuracy of your fixed financial assets is critical for your accounting and finance team’s objectives and budgets. A mobile solution provides the inventory visibility your accounting team needs with the productivity and accuracy boost mobility provides. With RF-SMART's Fixed Assets functionality, counts can be performed offline; once the device is back in-range, the completed work will automatically upload to Oracle.
Maintenance
One of the largest controllable costs is in preventative and timely maintenance operations. By putting mobile scanners in the hands of your Maintenance Technicians, they can create work orders on the fly and execute on both planned and unplanned work orders right where they are. RF-SMART allows for the automation of maintenance tasks, ensures timely work completion, and improves visibility into open and closed Work Orders.
Mobile Requisitioning
If your inventory is captured with pen and paper and the requisition is manually entered into Oracle, this is the perfect use case for mobility. Using a mobile device, RF-SMART’s Mobile Requisitioning gives you the ability to scan items for reorder in a streamlined workflow to create a requisition in Oracle Cloud in seconds, from wherever you are.
Delivery
With inventory locations spread throughout the service area, Public Sector organizations need live insight across all delivery processes. RF-SMART's Delivery keeps track of expected and unexpected deliveries from the point of receiving to its final destination, and documents chain-of-custody information.
