Invatron is pleased to announce that Ball's Supermarkets of Kansas City, Kansas has selected ePLUM Scale Manager to provide scale management to its chain of full service supermarkets.
Ball's is a long standing PLUM user running PLUM Store 3.0 for UNIX in all its locations and PLUM Host at head office since 1995. With the selection of a new back office item management application from BRdata, and a network now in place to support running applications centrally rather than in the store, the decision to migrate to ePLUM made good operational and fiscal sense. Ball's now has visibilty of each scale in the enterprise and can be pro-active rather than re-active when managing scale offline situations.
