Press Release Summary: Mike Billman Certified in Connectship for QC Software
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. QC Software (www.qcsoftware.com) is dedicated to providing a warehouse control system (WCS) when it is needed and appropriate. Mike Billman recently completed the annual certification testing requirement for Certified Connectship Integrators and passed with flying colors. The testing included all updates as well as ongoing knowledge of the Connectship software. According the Jerry List, “Mike Billman and all of us at QC Software believe Connectship is vital and 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.
