Press Release Summary: QC Software Warehouse Control Systems Profiled in Canadian
Management Magazine

Press Release Body: 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.

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
