NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
announced today that Jake’s
Finer Foods, a broadline foodservice distributor serving Texas and
Louisiana, is using NCR Power Delivery to more completely automate the
process of foodservice delivery.
The solution incorporates ruggedized Android* OS devices with a powerful
software component that eliminates their previous paper-based method and
optimizes all of the processes around the last mile of the supply chain.
The addition of NCR Power Delivery comes after years of Jake’s using NCR
Power Enterprise and NCR Power Warehouse software solutions for other
areas of their business.
“The addition of NCR Power Delivery was a natural extension of our
existing relationship with NCR, and is consistent with our strategy to
improve the business through technology investments that maintain our
standards for delivering only the highest-quality meats, produce and
restaurant supplies to the finest restaurants and institutions in the
region,” says Jason Blackshear at Jake’s Finer Foods. “We’re thrilled
with how rapidly this latest software project went from signing the
contract to conducting a trial, and then implementation for our entire
fleet.”
NCR’s Power Delivery uses mobile technology to verify the delivery of
goods, capture signatures and provide paperless invoices to the
customer. Other key features include:
-
Eliminating paperwork costs for printing invoices and DOT checklists
for the drivers
-
Increasing inventory accuracy by confirming exactly what was delivered
and when
-
Reducing labor costs spent reconciling invoices and adjusting inventory
-
Increasing cash flow with cleaner more precise invoices
-
Compatible with not only ruggedized Android devices but also consumer
grade hardware as well as many legacy scanners operating on Windows
mobile software
“By integrating the Android-based mobile software solution with Jake’s
existing on-board computers (OBCs), their drivers have a single login
for both their OBC needs and for using NCR Power Delivery,” says Todd
Michaud, global vice president and general manager, Global Enterprise,
Merchandising and Supply Chain Solutions at NCR. “Jake’s specializes in
high-end custom meats so it’s very important for them to verify delivery
of these center-plate items and ensure the highest quality and
delivering exceptional service to their clients.”
NCR’s Global Enterprise, Merchandising and Supply Chain group focuses on
creating a single, centralized data integration and operational platform
that helps both retailers and distributors of fast moving goods lower
costs and increase revenues.
