1 ECRS Scale Management Solutions Fresh Foods Management Made Easy! ECRS offers PLUM IP (Interface Plug-in) enabling grocery, convenience and natural products stores to improve communications between CATAPULT and their fresh foods/deli scales. The ECRS product PLUM IP, integrates with Invatron products eplum, PLUM Host, and PLUM Store. eplum and PLUM Host are sold in combination and provide centralized scale management for multi-location enterprises. PLUM Store is a stand-alone product for use in single store or multi-location enterprises that do not require centralized management. Features & Benefits PLUM IP provides streamlined fresh food/deli price management. Price updates are entered into CATAPULT and automatically sent to all store scales once they become effective. For users with eplum and PLUM Host, price changes can be sent to all scales in the enterprise. This technology enables the user to make only one price update in CATAPULT POS opposed to changing the price at both the POS and scale management system. This saves countless hours in tedious labor and ensures a higher level of price accuracy between the POS and fresh food scales. PLUM software provides the ability to print labels for nutritional and ingredient information for fresh food items. This is more important than ever as people are becoming increasingly more health conscious and many customers have strict diet requirements (i.e. gluten free). Because Invatron s PLUM product suite works with many popular scale brands, the retailer has flexibility in scale product choice ensuring the scale manufacturer chosen fits both cost and functionality requirements for specific enterprise needs. A full list of compatible scales can be found by visiting Promotion management and sales tracking PLUM reporting enables monitoring of critical fresh food operations such as import, transmit, and merge activity. These reports can also show PLU, ingredient, and nutritional information for each department. 1
