Jake’s Finer Foods gains competitive advantage with NCR Power Delivery

NCR Corporation announced that Jake’s Finer Foods, a broadline foodservice distributor serving Texas and Louisiana, is using NCR Power Delivery to more completely automate foodservice delivery.
The system incorporates rugged Android OS devices with a software component that eliminates the previous paper-based method and optimizes all processes around the last mile of the supply chain. 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 its business.
NCR’s Power Delivery uses mobile technology to verify 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
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 lower costs and increase revenues.
Jake’s consistently delivers a selection of more than 10,000 items including custom-cut center-of-the-plate choices, fresh produce, everyday staples, and many specialty products.
