Aldata Introduces New Direct Store Delivery Solution

A new direct store delivery (DSD) solution designed to reduce inventory, labor and transportation costs for perishable, high-turnover products has been introduced by Aldata. The first customers for the Aldata DSD solution will be Heinen's Fine Food Supermarkets and KTA Superstores.

Aldata DSD standardizes data from the point that fresh merchandise arrives at the store's back door until the moment that invoices are reconciled by corporate accounting. Retailers and distributors using the solution will be better able to lower costs while ensuring the correct amount of fresh merchandise is available on store shelves.

The new solution was introduced at the National Retail Federation Big Show earlier this month, along with Aldata Replenishment Insights, a solution that pulls data from multiple sources to provide business intelligence to users through a consolidated dashboard.
