Proprietary Software Leader Shares Solutions to Industry's Most Pressing Issues

PITTSBURGH, May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SCA Technologies, the leading provider of patented software, services, and business process consulting for the restaurant industry, has announced the release of their new White Paper. On May 8, a meticulously researched series of case studies presenting how restaurant supply chain management can boost profits and build market share will be unveiled. Educating leading restaurant chains who are grappling with cutthroat competition and rising consumer demands as well as increased costs and supply-chain complexity, SCA Technologies' new White Paper outlines best practices and next-generation solutions for sourcing, supply chain and procurement orchestration.

SCA Technologies offers 16 years of experience in the QSR industry, providing leading clients, such as McDonald's, Yum! Brands and Church's Chicken, with innovative solutions to the increasingly challenging issues in the food industry, from farm to fork. An intelligent look at industry competition, menu fulfillment challenges, supply-chain pressures, infrastructure investment, labor, government, franchisees, consumers, investors, and inhibitors within the company provides companies who are eager to streamline their buying decisions and maximize their profits with the unique opportunity to learn about the best ways to do so. Featuring three case studies presented by Technomic Inc., the lead research and consulting firm, SCA Technologies effectively speaks to industry leaders, including sourcing, supply chain, procurement, and finance professionals, who are expected to uphold menu quality and reliability while managing and sustaining low costs. In such an environment, the technology presented in the White Paper helps to solve these everyday constraints while providing ways to enhance competitive position in the marketplace.

Leveraging such statistics as those regarding producer price index rises in 2014 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics allows SCA Technologies to present the precise issues plaguing food industry professionals alongside well-researched, tangible solutions to each problem. In 2014, the price of eggs increased 32%, the price of beef 24%, the price of grains 14%, the price of pork 8%, and the price of vegetables 7%. Using the practices enlisted by SCA Technologies, the White Paper outlines solutions that can not only contain the expected 50% to 100% cost increases over the next 5-7 years, but will reduce these costs by 3% to 5% year over year. The evidence within the White Paper features solutions and skills SCA Technologies is confident can help major restaurant chains address these critical issues, saving millions of dollars and significantly enhancing their bottom line. This White Paper discusses instances in which SCA Technologies has successfully worked with major restaurant companies to transform the  sourcing and supply-chain function, and will conclude with Key Takeaways targeted to executives at large chains, revolutionizing the company's complete system.

"As our White Paper details, inputs of food and supplies represent, on average, nearly 30% of all costs for restaurant chains. Supply chain, procurement and finance professionals are expected to play a heroic role in holding down costs, but must also do their part to support menu innovation, quality and reliability—or the chain risks decline or death," shares Vishy Visweswaran, Chief Technology Officer at SCA Technologies. "In our customer environments, where the top restaurant chains are represented, real solutions are needed that will allow restaurant chains to maintain profits and enhance their competitive position in any environment."
