Press Release Summary: WCS by QC Software Now Includes Scanner Log



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.


Rich Hite, President of QC Software, (www.qcsoftware.com) suggests, "QC Enterprise
Warehouse Control System new version, 5.1, provides a Scanner Log which changes to
an existing screen that now displays the assigned lane and route along with the
sorted lane and route. The new Scanner Log also assists the user to follow the life
of a carton on the system and see what direction it has traveled.such as diverted
from its assigned zone or gone past a particular scanner. This GUI application
logs every scanner message that occurs as the carton's barcode is scanned, from the
various decision points in the system throughout its journey."

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.

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."
