Aunt Millie's Bakeries Save Time and Money
Aunt Millie's Bakeries announces results achieved by using solutions from Park City Group, which recently acquired Prescient Applied Intelligence. Aunt Millie's has seen significant time and cost savings with a large Midwestern retailer through Park City Group's Scan Based Trading (SBT) and Direct Store Delivery (DSD) data synchronization. SBT is a process which enables the bakery to maintain ownership of its inventory until it scans at point of sale, while Data Synchronization adds another layer of visibility with item, price and promotion synchronization.
"Our retailer partner has fully embraced SBT with DSD data synchronization, moving past the false assumption that the supplier has total control in the SBT process. What they understand is that with Park City Group the process permits for a comfortable trading partner relationship by allowing both parties more visibility to price and item authorization. Park City Group enables us to manage ahead of any problems as opposed to after the fact, and that provides significant time and cost savings all around," comments Donna Gross, Aunt Millie's director of Scan Based Trading.
Aunt Millie's and its retail partner use Park City Group's SBT platform as a collaborative foundation for managing their SBT relationship, ensuring both parties are fully aware of new items, cost discrepancies and promotions through the use of DSD data synchronization. The new item notification and acknowledgement allows Aunt Millie's visibility that a product has been accepted and set up in the retailer's system, which means that it can be delivered to stores without errors or invoice discrepancies.
