Press Release Summary: QC Software WCS Profiled in Canadian Management Magazine

Press Release Body: QC Software (www.qcsoftware.com) is the leading provider of Tier
1 warehouse control systems to the warehousing and distribution industries. Since
1996, QC Software, utilizing state of the art technology combined with extensive
research, development, and rigorous testing, has developed the QC Enterprise suite
of products. Designed to be modular in nature, easily configurable, and platform
independent, this highly scalable solution satisfies the needs of any size
warehouse.

Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) often require proof of concept according to Jerry
List, vice-president of QC Software. Management teams in direct-to-consumer
distribution centers usually turn to improved warehouse technology solutions when
one of two circumstances occurs: rapid growth requiring improved throughput capacity
or serious quality-control issues (such as “mispicks” or error-prone shipping). Both
these challenges will produce lower customer satisfaction if the correct products
are not received in a timely manner.
In the current issue of Canadian Management magazine, manufacturing journalist,
Thomas R. Cutler, authored a feature titled, “WCS: Proof of Concept.” According to
Cutler, these issues often arrive on the desks of senior managers via warehouse
floor managers or quality assurance personnel. The inability to keep up with demand
sounds an alarm. These shipments are not usually pallets of single skus, in which
case a vanilla WMS — warehouse management system, is often sufficient. Individual
cartons packed with various items require efficient pick and pack processes.
“Moving away from paper-based picking toward RF (radio frequency bar-coded) picking
directly to cartons is an initial signal that WCS may be in order,” List suggests.
High-volume conveyors installed with scales allow tolerance weights to be
established and reduce the need to individually verify cartons.
When companies are shipping palates of similar content, a generic WMS (warehouse
management system) may be suitable; when there are complex inventory control and
order entry issues for business to When companies are shipping palates of similar
content, a generic WMS (warehouse management system) may be suitable.
The WCS solutions provided by QC Software enables companies to streamline their
warehouse operations with the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry
ensuring increased corporate profitability.
