Publishers Storage and Shipping

PSSC has over 200,000 square feet of storage and we use proprietary distribution software to manage all aspects of material storage and flow. PSSC maintains both bin and bulk storage and all inventory locations are given unique barcoded identities in order to track the location of inventory in our systems. Inventory is controlled by the use of barcodes and processes that link all movements of inventory (receipts, returns, shipments) in our systems by use barcode scanning. The use of barcodes linked back to orders and other information in the data base helps eliminate the most common form of "shrinkage" and of mis-identification of products and the ensuing drift in data base records from physical reality. All inventory must have a scanable barcode. Orders are picked by trained personnel and checked for integrity of order by a team member using quality control programs in our system. All client inventory must be insured. Publishers can choose to self insure, or use PSSC's umbrella policy at nominal rates. Our facilities maintain multi level sprinkler systems inspected by both local fire officials and an independent specialist on an annual basis. All locations have limited access points and are securely locked during off hours. PSSC does not maintain security personnel on site but does maintain monitored alarm systems for both unauthorized access and fire.
