ADC Continues to Invest in Business Operations
The past two years have proven to be great years of growth for ADC and it feels as though we just moved into our current headquarter location.
Our move to a larger office space was prompted by increased interest in our Fresh Item Management (FIM) software solutions. In addition to needing more space to grow as a company, our new office provided ADC with the opportunity to upgrade our on-site scale lab, in which we conduct testing for both quality assurance and technical support.
“Since our move in 2010, we have made even more improvements to our software, as well as our business operations. We feel it is important to continually make capital investments in our infrastructure,” said Steve Loveridge, ADC’s CEO.
In July of 2012, we installed a new phone system, which allows for easier communication among ADC on-site associates and remote associates, as well as enhanced Technical Support features, making after hours help desk calls even more seamless for customers.
In August of 2012, we installed Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) for easier management of our source code, documentation and test cases.
Most recently, we migrated to Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for better management of our customer details and history.
All of these improvements have been made with you, our customer, in mind. We are always looking for ways to improve your experience with ADC and our FIM software solutions.
We look forward to working with each of you in the New Year!

ADC Announces Retalix HQ Interface
ADC announces the availability of a software interface from InterScale, ADC’s scales management software, to the Retalix Headquarters (HQ) system.
With this just released interface, joint ADC and Retalix customers will experience an easier, seamless integration of ADC’s InterScale Scales Management software with Retalix’s
HQ system, a centralized retail data management and distribution solution.
The ADC Retalix HQ interface allows users to schedule the intervals at which data is pulled
from the HQ system, select data types and services areas (departments) to be imported.
Additionally the interface can be configured to provide real-time data transfer triggered by a data change condition.
Importable data types include Scale PLU, Ingredients Text, Nutrition, Item/SKU, UPC, Vendor, Vendor Item Cost, Vendor Item and Price.
“We have been working on developing and testing the new interface with a few of our clients, including Buehler’s, based in Wooster, OH. We are pleased with the positive feedback reported by our clients” said Robert Appell, ADC’s COO. “This interface allows retailers to seamlessly integrate master data maintained in HQ into ADC’s FIM solution.”

Doc's Food Stores Inc. Selects and Implements InterScale
Doc’s Food Stores Inc. of Bixby, Oklahoma has selected and
implemented InterScale, ADC’s scales management system.
When looking
for a scales management provider, centralization and standardization were
important factors to Doc’s Food Stores Inc. InterScale hosts future-dated
item, price and label information from one ‘scale neutral’ system at Doc’s Food
Stores Inc. headquarters, allowing them to centrally manage all of their
in-store scales, regardless of brand and type.
“With
InterScale, we are able to centrally control our store scales, including
pricing and the ingredient text printed on scale labels,” said Jim Brown,
President of Doc's Food Stores Inc. “InterScale allows our store scales
to communicate
to a central system at our headquarters, providing us with
visibility of what is happening with the scales in our stores.”
In addition to
centralized control of their in-store scales, Doc’s Food Stores Inc. wanted to
implement InterScale alongside BRdata’s Retail BOSS Host software, that hosts
price changes to their Point Of Sale (POS) systems.
“InterScale is
tightly integrated with the BRdata Retail BOSS Host system, which resulted in
us eliminating 20 hours of in-store scale price maintenance labor per week,”
continued Jim Brown. “We are now able to allocate this labor elsewhere in
our fresh departments, increasing our store associates productivity and
customer service.”
“We are pleased
to hear of the labor saving results that Food Stores Inc. has seen by
implementing InterScale with BRdata Retail Boss Host, said Steve Loveridge,
ADC’s CEO. “We continuously strive to help our clients maximize their investment
in ADC software. One of the most important ways to do this is by working
with our partners to develop seamless interfaces.”
InterScale is
one of the systems in InterStore, ADC’s suite of Fresh Item Management (FIM)
software, which helps to increase efficiencies in grocery-retail and
food-service industries. The other two systems in InterStore are the
NutriGen Recipe Manager and the P-Cubed Production Manager, for production
planning, markdowns, cutting and shrink management.
