Software

Press Release Body: Tax incentives are a reason to make the move to optimizing a
warehouse now, a year when revenue is squeezed and costs are high. When these
factors are combined with sustainability and conservation, then it provides double
the advantage. According to QC Software's vice-president, Jerry List, "Since there
is a tax incentive now is a good time to prepare for a future where conservation and
efficiency are keys to survival."

There are state-by-state tax incentive to purchase machinery and equipment. No new
machinery and equipment purchases have to be filed on property reports/pay property
tax. The State of Washington notes that these tax incentives are, "Available To:
Manufacturers and processors for hire performing manufacturing and R&D. Testing
operation for a manufacturer and processor for hire; Qualifying Activity: Purchase
of qualifying machinery and equipment used directly for manufacturing, research and
development, or testing operations."


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.

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.
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.
