Press Release Summary: "No Read" Detection Critical New Feature in Warehouse
Control System

Press Release Body: The most important aspects of WCS for major distributors include
dependability, modular functionality, configurable flexibility, and reliability. WCS
is more dependable because.it uses standardized modules that are field proven,
versus customized software. Many of the WCS modules have been running for over more
than six years.


Rich Hite, President of QC Software, (www.qcsoftware.com) suggests, "QC Enterprise
Warehouse Control System new version, 5.1, provides Consecutive "No Read"
Detection.it is a minor enhancement, but a vital one. A "No Read" is when a scanner
cannot read a barcode label on a carton. This can result from a number of things
such as; damaged label, poor print quality, box orientation, etc. Some "No Reads"
are expected in every system. However a constant stream of cartons that cannot be
read is a serious problem! With consecutive "No Reads," the QC Enterprise WCS can
take immediate, corrective action such as stopping the system and sending an alert
message to operations and/or maintenance personnel."


Hite goes on to say, "WCS modular functionality is important because additional
functionality can be added as required. The system can grow as the customers need to
grow. You don't lose your initial investment when new functionality is needed."

If a large company wants to know the cost to install at multiple sites as well as
the stability, financial status and size of the WCS company, it is quickly addressed
by establishing referrals and a strong industry reputation. Depending on the
organization's objectives, source code availability may also be a concern.
The cost of doing nothing may be most expensive.

WCS reliability is not a 'buzz word', it provides a specific benefit according to
Hite, "When a WCS goes down, the lost man hours, late shipments and cost to the
warehouse, can be tremendous - add diminished customer satisfaction, and it can
literally cost the client significantly more money. The WCS market has grown because
it has taken on the traditional 'transactional' processes that the warehouse
management system (WMS) historically provided, such as order fulfillment, shipping
and localized inventory control."
