Solution gives foodservice distributor competitive advantage by
providing actionable insights into food ingredients, nutrition and
allergies
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2014--
NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
announced today that Ginsberg’s Foods has selected NCR Power Menu
software, enabling the regional foodservice distributor to automatically
calculate the nutritional data of prepared foods based on ingredients.
This level of information is a key factor in winning foodservice
business with restaurants, colleges and healthcare facilities that need
to comply with diet restrictions and food labeling.
“There is more pressure than ever from restaurants to provide consumers
with detailed information about the food they are eating,” says Larry
Pierce, CIO at Ginsberg’s Foods. “Prior to using NCR Power Menu
software, we were simply missing out on business opportunities with
restaurants and institutions that required real-time insights for
identifying allergens and nutritional data.”
Ginsberg’s Foods is already using NCR’s supply chain software portfolio
including Power Enterprise, Power Warehouse, Transportation Optimization
and Power Sell. All are software-based solutions that help increase
efficiencies for distributing other fast moving consumer goods from the
warehouse to the customer. They also help Ginsberg’s Foods sell more
effectively and build greater customer loyalty.
“We have a very collaborative relationship with Ginsberg’s Foods,
including their participation with our customer advisory council, which
helps us optimize our solution roadmaps to deliver significant value to
foodservice businesses,” says Todd Michaud, global vice president and
general manager, Global Enterprise, Merchandising and Supply Chain
Solutions at NCR. ”NCR Power Menu software integrates smoothly with
Ginsberg’s Foods existing NCR environment. It helps them grow the
business by offering their customers a value-added service for managing
recipe costs, tracking and printing nutritional information, and
controlling inventory levels.”
NCR Power Menu also helps customers increase profitability with
cost-analysis tools by recipe, portion or menu cycle. The solution
improves inventory accuracy of both ingredients and finished goods with
suggested ordering based on production, and includes additional
functionality to support healthcare menu planning needs based on
specific diets and textures.
