After being designated an essential business by the City of Orlando, Quality One continues to provide crucial supply chain management services to the telecommunications industry as well as increasingly supporting ongoing public health efforts in the ongoing battle against COVID-19.

Quality One prides itself on its commitment to family, both internally within the organization as well as in being a member of the local, regional, national and global community.  Because of this, Quality One is proud that they have successfully maintained a commitment to keep every single one of its employees gainfully employed throughout the COVID-19 crisis, a decision that was made over two weeks prior to the government stimulus package.  Further, that is a decision that they wholly expect to remain devoutly committed to for the duration of this challenging period.

Production operations are continuing to move forward in full at Quality One, with significantly heightened restrictions and precautions that have been fully implemented for several weeks to ensure the highest level of safety possible for workers, all of whom are receiving hazard pay during this period of time.  Temperatures are being taken at the door for all people entering the building, social distancing of at least 6 feet is maintained at all times, and thorough disinfection and sanitization efforts are exercised multiple times per day.

As written directly into its core values, Quality One is “a compassionate organization that values relationships and diversity, treating everyone with love, respect, empathy, and gratitude.”  Further, those values state that Quality One “continuously strive[s] to exceed our goals as a contributing member of society, and [be] a beacon of corporate philanthropy.”

John Chiorando, President of Quality One, is particularly insistent upon making sure that Quality One’s core values are more than just talk, but that the organization backs those words up with action.  “These are unprecedented times that nobody alive has ever seen, and the fact of the matter is that we have resources that we can share with our fellow man to make a real difference.  Quality One has significant resources at its disposal to assist Orlando area companies in their operations, and keeping their businesses afloat… And I firmly feel that is our calling to make sure that we offer a hand in every way we can,” said Chiorando.

Inbound Logistics, the leading supply chain journal and magazine, recently featured Q1 CFO Rob Ferrentino in a piece on vendor managed inventory.  Here’s a clip from the article:

“In 2019, Q1 formed a partnership with WIT Logistics (a unit of Walker SCM in Valley Stream, New York) to collaborate on a VMI program for one carrier that Q1 serves. Under that program, ownership of the wireless devices passes from Q1 to WIT Logistics, and then from WIT Logistics to the wireless carrier.

“The customer places a purchase order with WIT,” explains Rob Ferrentino, chief financial officer at Q1. “Then WIT places that purchase order with us. We fulfill that purchase order to WIT, and WIT holds onto that inventory.”

WIT stores the inventory at a variety of strategically placed distribution centers. “As the customer wants or needs the inventory, WIT delivers it to them,” Ferrentino says.

The wireless carrier designed this arrangement to support its VMI program. “The customer set up this agreement with WIT and then we set up our agreement with WIT in terms of fulfilling those needs,” says Ferrentino. Q1 has also joined in similar relationships with other logistics companies to serve other customers.”

Inbound Logistics produced its first issue in 1981, when transportation and logistics was truly in its infancy, typically resigned to back-room silo functions.  To read the complete article, please visit Inbound Logistics here.
