Cincinnati, OH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/25/2006 --Arbonne International, www.arbonne.com, has become a world leader in providing botanical based skin products. Founded in 1975 in Switzerland and coming to the United States in 1985, and based in Irvine, CA, Arbonne’s 200,000 sq. ft. distribution center is powered by QC Enterprise from QC Software.
QC Software is the leading provider of Tier 1 warehouse control systems to the warehousing and distribution industries.

Designed to be modular in nature, easily configurable, and platform independent, this highly scalable solution satisfies the needs of any size warehouse.
DPI (www.dpisystems.com) formed a strategic alliance with QC Software and brought the QC Enterprise technology to Arbonne. DPI was founded in 1981 by four highly experienced engineers, DPI has grown to become a leader in the design and engineering of material handling and distribution systems for major US and international companies. Today DPI considered one of the fastest growing companies in Michigan and in the industry.

The initial phase saw the implementation of the QC Navigator and QC OMS modules of the QC Enterprise software solution. QC OMS plans orders for picking utilizing specific cartonization rules and efficiently routes each container to the proper picking zone employing zone skipping rules configured within the system. QC Navigator communicates with pick to light technology for quick and efficient picking throughout the process.
Phase II of the Arbonne implementation saw the addition of two (2) additional picking zones making QC Enterprise the single communication point to Arbonne’s warehouse management system and material handling equipment.
In Phase III, Arbonne implemented QC SMS to streamline its shipping process. Now, Arbonne utilizes a single shipping system to process all orders for multiple carriers.
In July of 2006, Arbonne is opening its new facility in Greenwood, IN. QC Software was selected as the vendor of choice to manage the entire 300,000 sq. ft. facility.
