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

Press Release Body: 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 sku’s, in which case a vanilla WMS — warehouse management system, is often
sufficient. Individual cartons packed with various items require efficient pick and
pack processes.
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.
“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
