-- 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. 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.
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.
With major clients in retail, office supplies, grocery, pharmaceutical,
publishing, hardware, direct marketing, e-commerce, music, furniture,
automotive, pet supplies, wholesaling and laboratory supplies, DPI
is able to productively transfer specific industry-related technological
experience to clients in other industries.
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.

companies to streamline their warehouse operations with the lowest
total cost of ownership in the industry ensuring increased corporate
profitability. With a commitment to total customer satisfaction QC
Software is the obvious choice for warehouse control, order management,
