| To meet the needs of our staff, residents, and the community [a modest, urban-residential, ethnically diverse neighborhood], PICS volunteer 'partners' decided to open a thrift shop that would provide a circle of benefits for all involved--from affordable clothing, gifts, and household items to the emotional reward of people coming together to help each other," says Anita Ramlo, administrator of Salem Lutheran Home. Under the alliance agreement PICS will provide consulting and technical services in support of QAD's software solutions to companies looking to better leverage their investment in QAD. Today, PICS is one of the fastest growing national inventory services with a presence throughout the East from New England to Florida, and the Midwest from Illinois to Texas. |
