ADC, Inc., Fresh Item, Recipe and Barcode Printer Scale Management for Grocery Chains

There are many challenges and opportunities facing Produce
and Floral operators today, from profitability through food-
safety and country of origin/traceability to new extended
barcode formats. ADC's focus is on helping you navigate
through these challenges to world-class solutions:

Manage your inventory – Today's consumer demands a wider variety then ever before, which globalization of our food supply allows, but any fruit or vegetable with even a blemish on it can be left to reach its limited shelf life. ADC's P-Cubed makes it as easy as point-scan-tap to execute and capture in-situ markdowns, inter-department transfers, throwaways/discards and inventory adjustments. Eliminate guesswork with “guided prompting” at point of markdown.

Better manage floral production and sales – Generate item-level POS sales transactions using P-Cubed barcoded labeling at point of production. Adequately report your category and item profit. ADC has a customer that was closing Floral departments as unprofitable when sales were "to department" which was turned around into recognized profitability through item-level barcoding.

Ensure traceability and economically execute recalls – Easy to use hand-held scanners to manage item level product labeling. Automate traceability back to supplier in support of Country of Origin (COOL) and Fair Trade Flowers. Lot-level traceability allows you to implement more selective and accurate recalls, rather than the "shotgun" approach to discarding all product of that type: a tremendous saving.

Know and optimize your item profitability – P-Cubed fresh-focused demand forecasting with perpetual inventory driven by receiving and POS movements prompts store associates to optimize customer-facing inventory. Use easy portable data terminal technology to accurately manage inventory to control shrink, implement markdowns and maintain perpetual inventories.

Manage physical inventory – Take physical inventories across ALL of your fresh item departments on a point and scan basis, which instantly post results at host for inventory decision making and accounting. Get inventory at the item per store department level instead of just an estimated total valuation and end cyclical inventory errors.

Automate back-room and cooler rotation – Enhance your product freshness and lower your throwaways. P-Cubed provides enhanced GS1-Databar support to alert associates to display the oldest produce and flowers first. Don’t let LIFO shrink your profits. Implement First to Expire First Out (FEFO) in all of your perishable departments.
