QC Software is dedicated to providing a warehouse control system (WCS) when it is needed and appropriate. According the Jerry List, “Mike Billman and I will be attending the Connectship Users Conference in Tulsa, OK March 26th and 27th. The theme of this year’s conference is Focus. All of us at QC Software believe the strategic alliance with Connectship is vital and we are glad to participate in the Users Conference this year. 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
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.
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.
