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."

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.
