GE Capital Keeps Inventory with eCity

GE ModSpace and Trailer Fleet Services have deployed eCity to manage and control inventory costs throughout their 180 U.S. service facilities. eCity Stock and eCity Request have been installed and integrated with GE’s central business systems and service branch infrastructure comprising computers and local wireless networks.

This implementation has resulted in significant savings for both GE’s customers and for the parent company as well.

As mentioned, GE has deployed eCity throughout the U.S., and has plans to further distribute the systems to Canadian and Mexican branches. With a business as diverse and geographically distributed as GE’s is, it is important that responsibilities can be passed to managers at the local level. eCity’s unique Span of Control and unlimited Roles functionality is used to give each employee across GE’s hierarchy their own unique view of the functions and information they are responsible for.

eCity’s net native eTools “adaptive web” workbench (which embraces Microsoft’s .NET framework) is important to a growing organization such as GE. In a competitive market place, it assists GE in addressing new business requirements and enables software changes without programming. This reduces the on-going cost of delivering system changes that address new business needs. Furthermore, eCity’s Upgrade Assist utility will be used to automatically upgrade GE’s unique changes to new eCity releases.
