Press Release Summary: QC Software Tier 1 Warehouse Control Systems Leader Praises
ConnectShip

Press Release Body: QC Software is the leading provider of Tier 1 warehouse control
systems to the warehousing and distribution industries. Since 1996, QC Software,
utilizing state of the art technology combined with extensive research, development,
and rigorous testing, has developed the QC Enterprise suite of products. Designed
to be modular in nature, easily configurable, and platform independent, this highly
scalable solution satisfies the needs of any size warehouse.

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.
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



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.
