Associated Goes Live With Data System
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Officials from a chain of grocery stores operated by Associated Wholesale Grocers here said last week that it has gone live with a new centralized pricing and data management system following a five-month planning and implementation stage.
The new system is now being used at five Falley's and 26 Food-4-Less stores in Missouri and Kansas. The system is version 3.1 of TCI Solutions, Irvine, Calif., and is called Headquarters Price/Merchandising Manager (HQPMM) software.
The system is now handling all pricing functions at the two supermarket chains.
From one central file, HQPMM generates new retails for all DSD, dry goods, perishables, HBA and general merchandise. The retails are then transmitted directly to the in-store, point-of-sale system. The software also creates batches for printing new labels.
