BRdata recently released the BRdata Store App for iOS. The initial version includes our Meat Grind Log and Markdown cloud based solutions, in addition to access to our knowledge base video library. The Meat Grind Log feature will empower retailers to easily launch a centralized grind log tracking solution – say goodbye to the inefficient and potentially inaccurate manual tracking. I attended a retail technology meeting yesterday, where a grocery retailer reported that the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) audited his store and were not satisfied with the manual paper tracking system he had implemented. The BRdata Store App can quickly solve this issue.
Instead of putting a stock “amount off” tag or crossing out the barcode with a marker, the Markdown feature of the app provides a way for retailer’s to easily markdown products by printing a new barcode to a Zebra Wi-Fi or Bluetooth printer. The new marked down price prints in the barcode and is placed over the original barcode. Loss prevention audit reports are also provided.
The BRdata Store App requires login credentials to BRdata Cloud. Upcoming features for the BRdata Store App are DSD receiving and price verification.
To better understand the needs of our cloud subscribers, we have started tracking report usage in BRdata Cloud. These analytics will be provided in our bi-weekly cloud update emails. For customers who are not receiving the BRdata Cloud update emails, the current top 5 cloud reports are:
- Item Movement
- Retail Department Sales
- Item Movement Totals
- Financial Store Totals
- Weekly Department Financials.
Please email us at sales@brdata.com or cloudsupport@brdata.com for more information on the BRdata Store App or BRdata Cloud.
As always thank you for choosing BRdata for your retail technology needs and for your continued support. Happy Holidays from everyone at the BRdata family.
Sincerely,
John Abbene
