This would also save money on hiring and training employees to order products for the stores. It will also save time spent on the manual ordering process, and avoid costly mistakes. An automated inventory approach quickly reacts to stock issues to automating general orders, changes in customer demands, electronically submits the orders to the suppliers, and includes program controls to ensure the products are ordered from specified suppliers, and are paying the contracted
It is said that the “lack of security is the biggest threat to consumer privacy from external sources. Selling consumer data without the customer knowledge or permission is the major internal threat to consumer privacy” Marchany, R., & Tront, J. (2002). The concluding evidence of implementing a Frequent Shopper Program for Kudler Fine Foods demonstrates a few concerns to consider, the legal, ethical and information security issues. First, consider whether or not the data collected will pose legal ramifications for Kudler.
Once the customer has validated that he or she is an authorized user of the ATM card by entering the correct PIN the ATM will then prompt them to select which transaction they are requesting. Once the customer selects the transfer option the ATM will then give the option of which account the transfer will be taken from and also if the account to be transferred to is internal to the banking institution or to an external institution. After the customer chooses if the transaction is for an internal or an external account the ATM will then ask for the specific account they wish to transfer fund into. When the specific account is selected the customer will then be prompted to enter the amount of the transfer. If sufficient funds are available in the account money is to be transferred from and the customer is authorized to transfer funds to the selected account, the changes to the account balances will be made and the transaction will be complete and the ATM card returned to the customer.
The new system will keep track of purchases for each customer and accumulating points in order for them to redeem special coupons, vouchers, and other redeemable items. It can also be used to obtain special member sale prices on certain items. Currently, Kudler Fine Foods does not have an automated system that keeps track of their inventory and all other business transactions. Everything is manually tracked, which takes time, manpower and is not cost effective (University of Phoenix Material, 2010). There are different factors that Kudler has to consider prior to creating a design for the new frequent shopper program.
Kudler Fine Foods Purchasing System BSA/502 October 15, 2010 Kudler Fine Foods Purchasing System The corporate office of Kudler Fine Foods is looking to update their current purchasing system. They want to incorporate some of the latest technologies in the hardware and software arena to streamline the current process. This should also include the ability to transmit information from each location to the corporate headquarters on a regular basis electronically. Current Purchasing System The purchasing system for Kudler Fine Foods is rather primitive when compared it to what is currently available in the marketplace. At the end of each shift, the store manager faxes sales data to the Purchasing Function.
Also they will be able to get feedback from customers from the website. Kudler has moved away from taking inventory on paper to using computer software to manage the items that are sold, shelved and items that are in the back to be placed on the shelves. By the company getting this new technology within their organization they will be able to maintain everything smoother then before (Kudler Fine Foods). They will be being able to allow customer to use the website to see what they store has before they get there and see what sales that are going on at that particular time. Also, they are able to keep up with the inventory easier then taking it down on paper when
Evaluation of Company Q’s Current Attitude towards Social Responsibility Jennifer Salisbury Western Governors University Evaluation of Company Q’s Current Attitude towards Social Responsibility Section A: Evaluation Company Q’s current attitude towards social responsibility is being perceived as a costly nuisance that they are avoiding. The lack of concern in assessing the organization’s current culture is apparent due to the recent store closures in the higher crime rate areas. Also, consumer requests are not being addressed in a timely manner, and if they are, it is below satisfaction, by offering a bare minimum of high-end products. The fact that a local area food bank approached Company Q should have set a new standard in its conduct
This program not only allows Fresh Reward customers to take advantage of weekly sale prices, but also gives customers Fresh Rewards Cash that can be redeemed for groceries. Loyalty rewards are also offered to Lowes Foods most loyal customers (“Lowes
If Kudler’s were to handle payroll in-house it would save them money from having an outsource company take care of payroll for them. Kudler’s could also use a program like QuickBooks for invoices, receipts, customer’s information, etc. This would save a lot of time if they had to do it
They are probably tied into a central computer, but it is basically a cash register system because it does not account for the inventory of every product in the store when something is sold. I want to recommend the Comcash's Grocery POS System because it is constructed through the multi-format vendor in mind, permitting him or her to coordinate the grocery store procedures and facts through the whole store, warehouse, and HQ methods and contains extraordinary output scanner scales, client initiated pin debit, EBT, and WIC. The hardware that comes with this system is an extremely configurable touchscreen and the Grocery System streamlines critical daily processes, advances customer service, and aids greater sales margins ("Grocery Store Pos Software Solutions," 2010). Comcash offers a handheld inventory scanner for price checking on the floor or receiving in the backroom. I feel this hardware will improve customer relations as well as make the stores more
