Some companies refuse to let a challenging economy stand in the way of their warehouse technology purchases. If you fall into that group, you might want to register for an upcoming seminar on “How to Evaluate Which Warehouse Management System (WMS)/Warehouse Control System (WCS) Technology Is Best for Your Company.”

Sponsored by TriFactor LLC, a company that specializes in designing and installing integrated material handling systems, the seminar will offer an overview of new WMS/WCS technologies and how they can interface with a company’s current processes. Instructors will also provide tips on upgrading a warehouse information system or automating for the first time. The presenters will be Kevin Telford, principal with KT Consulting, who will discuss warehouse management systems, and Jerry List, vice president of QC Software, who will talk about warehouse control systems.

The seminar will be held in Lakeland, Fla., on Feb. 24 and in Jacksonville, Fla., on Feb. 25. There is no charge for the seminar, but reservations are requested. For more information, visit www.trifactor.com/seminars.
