UK: ASDA INSTALLS NEW SYSTEM FOR PIZZAS

Article Abstract:

UK-based supermarket group, Asda, will offer the EPOS-driven Pizza Production Planning system in all its outlets from 14 February 2000 following a trial period.

Every Asda fresh food counter is on course to be using the system by April 2000 and it hoped that the technology will also cut the quantity of wastage with regard to pre-prepared food.

UK: CLUBCARD RELAUNCH BY TESCO?

Article Abstract:

Although the head of Clubcard at Tesco has denied that the company is to re-launch its Clubcard, an internal source says that Clubcard will be re-launched on 20 February 2000, very close to five years after it was first launched. The club's keyholder promotion launched in August 1999 enabled shoppers spending GB[pound] 100 to save 75% off specific KLM and Aer Lingus flights and ten more airlines could possibly be added to this scheme. Tesco hopes to move on from targeting shoppers according to lifestyles to personal recognition via e-mail and internet which would help them know their customers even better.
