PISCATAWAY, NJ - QSSI, a technology leader in providing Distribution, Fulfillment, Warehousing Automation and Supply Chain Software, announced today that it has partnered with Great Plains, a leading provider of ERP systems.

At the core of QSSI's supply chain solutions is PowerHouse/WMS, a software package that enables the efficient movement of goods throughout the supply chain. PowerHouse/WMS is a comprehensive and modular WMS system that allows organizations to manage the receiving, stock locating, stock picking, order verification, order packing and shipment of products. The benefits derived include increased inventory turnover, improved inventory accuracy, reduced response times, reduced inventory levels, improved customer service, increased labor productivity and improved management of facilities and material handling equipment.

"One of our strategic goals is to establish relationships with companies that can add value to our product and expand our distribution channel while maintaining our strong work ethic and commitment to our internal and external customers. We found similar values and a commitment to our "customer first" philosophy with the people at Great Plains" explains Kenn Pogash, QSSI Director of Business Development.

Great Plains selected QSSI's PowerHouse/WMS because they desired to offer a warehouse management system to the mid-tier market with a full featured, state-of-the-art, easy to install software product. QSSI is 100% committed to the success of this relationship and will provide the Great Plains partners all the training, software and tools they need to become a "powerhouse" in the business of implementing and supporting our warehouse management software solutions.

"It is important to recognize that we, at QSSI, do not enter into business relationships for the sake of having a business partner. We believe that a partnership needs to create positive synergy that provides value for all the partners within the QSSI network including the end user customer. We are confident that together with the Great Plains Partner Channel we can create the type of synergistic efforts necessary to leverage our strengths for the success of our clients and our partners", says Mr. Pogash.
