QC Software Executive’s Strategy for Managing Multiple Warehouse Technologies

CINCINNATI - Jan. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Many companies grow by acquisition, but find it challenging to manage multiple warehouse systems in their distribution centers.

Acquired systems have been adequate in the past when companies operated under a different paradigm. However, when the new owners keep both current and acquired warehouse management systems, they often find the current system does fully integrate with their legacy systems.  Furthermore, each warehouse may have unique business rules for managing different distribution channels, and these rules keep evolving in response to market forces.

Communication between disparate systems becomes cumbersome. While legacy systems perform at the level they were originally intended, newer alternatives have undoubtedly become available that surpass their current productivity levels. As new equipment with advanced technology is introduced, improvements are needed to ensure optimum connectivity. One weak link will slow down the operation.

“The Tier-1 Warehouse Control System solves these types of issues. This system provides a cross-platform solution with dynamic connectivity to multiple systems.  Equipped with free standing and scalable architecture, the Tier-1 Warehouse Control System has the flexibility to adapt to variable processes and requirements,” states Rich Hite, President of QC Software, a leader in warehouse control solutions for the material handling industry.

The Tier-1 Warehouse Control System is a viable alternative to replacing legacy systems. Setup and maintenance are considerably less expensive than a warehouse management system. Development, implementation and modifications can be completed in less time, which allows companies to minimize capital expenses.

For the cloud-based material handling system, the Tier-1 Warehouse Control System provides additional stability. Many warehouse management systems are operating on a cloud-based paradigm to lower technology costs. Delays in receiving information from remote servers and disruptions in the link can be critical when managing high-speed equipment with carton rates over 120 cartons per minute. The Tier-1 Warehouse Control System is installed on the distribution center floor to minimize these communication disruptions.

Best-in-class distributors are implementing a Tier-1 Warehouse Control System to optimize legacy systems, maintain a lean and agile operation, and respond to the fluctuating market.

For over eighteen years, QC Software has delivered the results that help companies succeed. Their leading-edge Tier-1 Warehouse Control System provides the flexibility, visibility and control across warehouse operations that customers need to optimize resources and profitability.
