Press Release Summary: QC Software WCS New Version Includes Flex Screens and Reports
Press Release Body: Rich Hite, President of QC Software, (www.qcsoftware.com) suggests, "QC Enterprise Warehouse Control System new version, 5.1, provides FLEX Screens which offer a simple way to configure/customize user interface screens, on the fly without halting production. Reducing development costs and timely upgrades to user interfaces. We extend this functionality to the user/integrator, as well, so that they can design and configure user-interface screens without the need of our development team. A simple understanding of XML configuration and SQL statements allows the user to configure screens for their production needs. Along the same concept of FLEX Screens, FLEX Reports are the QC Enterprise WCS components produced upon the same technology, only instead of the GUI, it is applied to a printable report. Also based on the easily configured XML and simple SQL statements, the user has the ability to strategically and easily design pack out documents, production reports, and inventory reports."
The most important aspects of WCS for major distributors include dependability, modular functionality, configurable flexibility, and reliability. WCS is more dependable because.it uses standardized modules that are field proven, versus customized software. Many of the WCS modules have been running for over more than six years.
Hite goes on to say, "WCS modular functionality is important because additional functionality can be added as required. The system can grow as the customers need to grow. You don't lose your initial investment when new functionality is needed."
If a large company wants to know the cost to install at multiple sites as well as the stability, financial status and size of the WCS company, it is quickly addressed by establishing referrals and a strong industry reputation. Depending on the organization's objectives, source code availability may also be a concern. The cost of doing nothing may be most expensive.
WCS reliability is not a 'buzz word', it provides a specific benefit according to Hite, "When a WCS goes down, the lost man hours, late shipments and cost to the warehouse, can be tremendous - add diminished customer satisfaction, and it can literally cost the client significantly more money. The WCS market has grown because it has taken on the traditional 'transactional' processes that the warehouse management system (WMS) historically provided, such as order fulfillment, shipping and localized inventory control.
