International Dairy Deli Bakery Association Expo

We're gearing up for the 2013 International Dairy Deli Bakery Association Expo in Orlando, Florida, June 2-4.  We'll be in Booth #5806 offering demonstrations of NutriGen, our Recipe Management Software System.

 

NutriGen:

 

• Centrally defines recipes, combining vendor supplied sub-assemblies with your own raw materials.
• Generates legally complaint ingredient, nutrifact and labeling panels. 
• Quickly sends recipe updates to all in-store barcode labeling scales and printers.
• Calculates the true cost of recipe items, including packaging and labor costs.
 

NutriGen is one of three software systems that comprise InterStore, ADC's Fresh Item Management (FIM) software suite.  The other two systems are:

 

• InterScale Scales Manager for hosting data to/from any mix of barcode labeling scales, printers or kiosks.
P-Cubed Production Manager tracks fresh department inventory received, produced, sold, marked-down and thrown away, as well as as generate demand-driven production plans.

 

See you at the show!
