What Data Communications Corporation does

Data Communications Corporation (DCC) is a privately held Tennessee corporation founded in 1969, headquartered in Memphis (Cordova) with product development offices in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company operates through two divisions: DCCXT, which develops and licenses warehouse management and document management software, and WoodWare Systems, a millwork-industry business management platform acquired in 1992 that serves 110+ customers across more than 40 states. DCCXT's product portfolio centers on the proprietary eXacTrax platform, which underpins Warehouse XT (an RF/RFID-enabled warehouse management system with modules covering receiving, put-away, picking, cycle counts, replenishment, shipping, and ERP system interface hooks) and DocXT (a document and electronic file storage system using the trademarked Virtual Tag and Location Technology™). Both products are built on InterSystems Caché post-relational database technology and integrate with virtually any ERP/MRP system via the InterSystems Ensemble platform.

DCC generates revenue through three streams: one-time software licensing for Warehouse XT and DocXT sold via direct enterprise sales force and cooperative marketing partners/value-added resellers; professional services covering facility preparation, equipment procurement guidance, staff training, and phased implementation (typically six to twelve months per facility); and hardware resale, acting as a Value-Added Reseller for Intermec barcode scanners, thermal label printers, RF access points, and RFID equipment. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year enterprise contracts with no publicly disclosed tiers; the company offers free personal online demonstrations and claims ROI payback within a few months. Target customers are distributors, manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, and (via WoodWare) millwork, window, and door companies needing Big Box retailer compliance tracking. The company pursues global expansion through its reseller network while maintaining a primarily North American direct sales presence.
