P-Cubed (Perishable Production Planning) tracks meat, bakery and deli department inventory received, produced, sold, marked down and thrown away through a web-centric thin client web-browser in-store user interface.

P-Cubed prints cut lists, cutting tests, shrink reports and at-case bar-coded markdown labels from hand held web browser scanners. An integrated SQL Server or Oracle central database is the repository for perishable inventory data, providing powerful cross-store analysis reporting.

The P-Cubed suite of software modules automates, manages and tracks production runs in all of the fresh item service areas of the supermarket, including but not limited to Meat, Bakery and Deli. P-Cubed:

• Assists users in predicting what needs to be produced (Neither too much nor too little).
• Automates the tracking of production department operations.
• Minimizes shrink and unnecessary waste.
  
• Provides an easy to operate system from Production Planning to Sales Analysis.
  
• Maintains an accurate perpetual inventory in the departments.

P-Cubed also provides:

• Direct Store Delivery (DSD) receiving for perishable departments
  
• Point Of Sale (POS) movement collation of perishable sales
  
• Markdown tracking and analysis
  
• Perpetual inventory
  
• Forecasting feeds to Computer Assisted Ordering (CAO)
• Meat Cutting Tests with average cost analysis
• At-Case Markdowns with replacement label or cents-off coupon from portable printer

By storing the raw material and labor costs, P-Cubed can cumulate to a cost price for the product, which can be used in conjunction with a target gross margin and price-point rounding to generate a recommended retail price
