Press Release Summary: Warehouse Control Systems Impact Green Distribution Centers
Press Release Body: Warehouse control systems must address numerous challenges from multiple angles and perspectives, but if these are met they can produce benefits including a greater return on assets, increased operational capacity, reduced labor costs, increased inventory turns, an increase in picking and shipping accuracy, shorter process cycle times and improved customer satisfaction.
"Whether under the umbrella of lean efficiency, sustainability, green warehousing or conservation The QC Enterprise produces some benefits that allow for tier one distributors to become more green and eco-friendly," according to QC Software's vice-president, Jerry List.
The role of warehouse control system is critical in ensuring increased pick accuracy which translates into more efficient use of energy and resources. Additionally, the scalable or modular nature of the WCS allows the investment to be cost-justified in both the short and long-term.
