Newsflash

S3CO is searching for beta testers for our Root 1.0 release.  We are almost ready to take Root WMS to market, but first we are looking for beta test sites to fine-tune our product and establish a reference base.  This way we get to finalize our WMS offering and you get the benefit of shaping the features of the final product as if you were developing it yourself.  

S3CO will offer our first few customers a substantial discount if they are willing to become references and allow visits from time to time.  We are very motivated to cultivate happy customers, so we will make sure our solution is a good fit and will do whatever we can to make you successful.

Please contact us or send us an RFP / RFQ if your organization is interested in participating.
