Petty's Fine Foods Implements InterScale

Petty's Fine Foods of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has selected ADC's InterScale software system. Petty's has been providing high quality food products to the Tulsa, Oklahoma community for over sixty years. Petty's sought a scales management solution that provided increased visibility of scale activity and performance, as well as powerful reporting capabilities.

ADC's InterScale system hosts future-date item, price and label information to and from barcode labeling scales and printers in fresh food departments. InterScale works with any mix of scales, printers and kiosks, irrespective of brand. With improved scale pricing and tare accuracy, Petty's is saving money and requires less labor to maintain their scales.

"Prior to implementing InterScale, I relied on phone calls from store associates to alert me to scale problems. With InterScale, I have real-time visibility of what is going on with each of our scales, whether I'm in the store or across the street in my office," said Scott Petty, Owner of Petty's Fine Foods. "InterScale helps us ensure regulatory label compliance for ingredients, allergens, nutri-facts, traceability and Country of Origin Labeling (COOL)."

InterScale is one of three software systems that comprises ADC's InterStore Fresh Item Management (FIM) software suite. The other two systems are: NutriGen Recipe Manager, which provides interactive recipes for store operators for items produced or finished in stores, and the P-Cubed Fresh Production Manager, which automates, manages and tracks production in the fresh departments of grocery stores.

"With InterScale Petty's further enhances their fresh food offerings with improved labeling accuracy, while saving money," stated Steve Loveridge, ADC's CEO. "By installing InterScale and seeing the improvements in their store already, Petty's has the framework to expand to a full Fresh Item Management solution as their requirements grow."

Beecher's Handmade Cheese Selects InterScale


Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, an artisan cheesemaker based out of Seattle, Washington, has implemented ADC’s InterScale Scales Management software system for their retail stores. In addition to their retail stores on both sides of the country, Beecher’s distributes their artisan cheeses nationwide.  Beecher’s installed InterScale for their final Point of Sale (POS) labeling in their stores.  

“Since each of our products is unique, it’s important for us to ensure they are labeled accurately at our busy counters. Additionally, we use the labels as a medium to provide information for our customers about the origins of their food - be it cheese, charcuterie, antipasti or anything else,” said Robert Hartley, Director of Information Technology at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese.  “InterScale allows us to centrally manage this data and to push it down to our Mettler-Toledo Impact scales.”

InterScale is one of three software systems that comprises ADC’s InterStore Fresh Item Management (FIM) software suite.  The other two systems are: NutriGen Recipe Manager, which provides interactive recipes for store operators for items produced or finished in stores, and the P-Cubed Production Manager, which automates, manages and tracks production in the fresh departments of grocery stores.  

“Beecher’s is known for their high quality cheese products.  InterScale software increases their offering to customers by providing consistent and accurate product labels for their customers,” stated Steve Loveridge, President of ADC.
