Press Release Summary: Tier 1 Distributors find WCS Leader QC Software and
ConnectShip Important

Press Release Body: 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. 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.
QC Software is dedicated to providing a warehouse control system (WCS) when it is
needed and appropriate. According to Jerry List, “All of us at QC Software believe
the strategic alliance with Connectship…we believe Connectship is important to our
clients, mostly Tier 1 distributors.”
A checklist of WCS areas of expertise must include:
• Operations audits
• Supply chain strategy development and master planning
• Process analysis and optimization
• Location modeling, transportation, logistics, and distribution network analysis
• Inventory analysis and control
• Vendor/supplier collaboration
• Material handling equipment (MHE) requirements
• Analysis, specification development, and bid administration
• Warehouse management system (WMS) requirements
• Project management, systems integration, and implementation


WCS vendors must develop a strategic partnership with a manufacturing and
distribution firm in which there is a clear understanding of the organization’s
unique shipping needs, and actively assist in reaching and measuring cost reduction
goals and service needs.
