The price management manager
Imagine the convenience of setting all your prices in just one place, knowing that PLUM Store will update all your scales and printers at a time of your choosing. Consider the in-store labor costs you’ll save when staff no longer need to learn differing proprietary scale systems or how to program scales to adapt them to your retail environment. PLUM Store takes care of getting the right data to all your scales and printers—to save you both time and money.
Then there are PLUM Store’s extensive price management options to consider. Price units can be set to random weight, fixed weight or by-count in various denominations of each. PLUM Store gives you open support with price override flags and exception pricing on by-count items. Prices can even be marked down and later reset to the original price automatically.
Your sales promotion champion
PLUM Store gives you extended support for your promotions. A special sales promotion batch-type enables PLUM Store to automatically generate reset batches at the right time.
Additionally, PLUM Store can easily track promotion items with a unique identifier field. When compared with sale prices, PLUM Store makes it easy to determine the actual sales your promotions are generating. And if you want an even clearer picture, the data integrity supplied by PLUM Store is the foundation for Invatron’s revolutionary fresh item management system PeriScope whose analysis tools can help you make even better production decisions.
Ensure data integrity for your scales
PLUM Store uses roll forward logic to ensure data integrity, the number one goal of any scale management system. Batches stay open until successfully applied to the department scales. PLUM Store uses system configuration settings to validate the data for specific scale types.
What’s more, when used in conjunction with PLUM Host, PLUM Store can even help coordinate pricing between stores. A head or regional office can maintain the same item in one database for all in-store applications. This ensures price integrity between all your points of sale and your scales.
The fresh food activity tracker
PLUM Store ships with a suite of field-proven pre-set reports. They enable you to track critical information about fresh food operations such as import, transmit, and merge activity. PLUM Store’s reports can easily show you PLU, ingredient, and nutrition information for each department. And using PLUM Store’s extensive sorting options, you can easily highlight the most relevant data.
Closing the scale information loop
PLUM Store automatically synchronizes scale data between the store and its scales. In conjunction with Invatron’s PLUM Host, PLUM Store can close the information loop between host, store, and scale. PLUM Store automatically keeps a separate copy of the last PLUM Host transmission to easily detect any changes made at the store level through a customizable Host-Store Audit report.
The flexible solution that works
PLUM Store is completely adaptable to your in-store computing environment. Through its single common database, PLUM Store manages data for most industry scales, printers, and even deli kiosks to seamlessly integrate them into an easy-to-manage system. PLUM Store can even be connected to serial scales using the optional Systech RCS-3000 unit.
With its totally open systems approach, PLUM Store gives you the freedom to choose the best equipment, database and operating environments so you can use them all to their best advantage.
