ADC announces that Sedano’s Supermarkets, headquartered in Miami, Florida with over 30 stores, has selected ADC’s InterScale Scales Manager software system to integrate with their existing Loc software.
With InterScale, Sedano’s Supermarkets manages the data being sent to and from the barcode labeling scales, printers and kiosks, including change batch creation and management, performing network tests and re-loading scales with item price and food safety information.
The InterScale Scales Manager is one of the three software systems that comprise InterStore, ADC's integrated fresh item management software suite. The other two systems are: the NutriGen Recipe Manager, which centrally manages and analyzes recipes and generates legally compliant ingredient lists, and the P-Cubed Production Manager, which automates, manages and tracks shrink, inventory and production in the fresh departments of grocery stores.

About Sedano’s Supermarkets
Established in Hialeah, Florida in 1962, Sedano’s Supermarkets has grown from a single neighborhood market into the #1 Hispanic retailer in America. Sedano’s founder Armando Guerra, a thriving businessman in his homeland of Cuba, brought with him a bounty of experience that helped establish himself in the U.S – and in 1971, Guerra brought Manuel Herrán on board to help out with the daily operations of his burgeoning business. The rest, as they say, is for the history books. To learn more, visit www.Sedanos.com.
ADC is pleased to announce that Milam’s Markets, a 4 store chain headquartered in Miami, Florida, has selected and implemented ADC’s InterScale Scales Manager.

ADC announces that a 190 grocery store chain headquartered in the Southwestern United States has implemented the InterScale multi-threaded scale communications program at its centralized data center.
The multi-threaded scale communication program represents a new generation of InterScale, which allows the retailer to communicate to all of the scales, across all of their stores in parallel from one to many centralized servers, thereby greatly reducing the time it takes to get information to and from their scales.
“We are very happy to have completed our upgrade to the multi-threaded scale communication program within InterScale,” said a representative from the retailer. “The first time we used the program, we saw that it was able to send a full file to all of our scales across all stores in a quarter of the time it previously took, which was extremely exciting to witness.” Previously, the older-generation program, which processed one scale after another, was much slower.
“This is our first customer to implement the centralized multi-threaded scale communications program within InterScale and we are pleased with the results they are seeing,” said Steve Loveridge, CEO at ADC. “We believe the multi-threaded scale communication program is an important new feature within the InterScale system and look forward to hearing similar success stories as more clients upgrade.”
ADC announces that Key Food Stores Co-Operative (Key Food Stores) has selected and is implementing ADC’s InterScale Scales Manager software. Key Food Stores is headquartered in Staten Island, New York and includes 149 supermarkets spanning all five boroughs, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island, and additionally Long Island, upstate New York and the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Key Food Stores selected ADC’s InterScale Scales Manager after initiating a strategic project to achieve PLU item number standardization across their Membership.
“As a Co-operative, each of our stores assigned different PLU item numbers across all fresh commodities,” said Aliceann Conoshenti, IT Director at Key Food Stores. “Our goal is to provide accurate gross profit reporting to our Members. To accomplish this required standardization of PLU’s and UPC’s (barcode numbers) across Meat, Seafood, Deli, Dairy, Produce and Bakery departments. We needed a centralized software solution with the ability to communicate across all fresh departments, which is what led us to InterScale.”
With InterScale, Key Food Stores can manage all data for barcode labeling scales, including change batch creation and management, performing network tests, re-loading scales with item price and food safety information and pulling back scale data for comparison reporting across an individual store or chain of stores.
Another important factor in selecting ADC’s InterScale was the ability to communicate to a variety of barcode labeling scales from different manufacturers, including some scales that are 10 to 15 years old. After completing their research Key Food Stores found that InterScale had the capability to communicate with all models of price look-up barcode labeling scales and printers from all of the manufacturers.
“Our stores responded very favorably to ADC’s InterScale because of ADC’s extensive list of compliant scales – more than any other scale software company, which made this large project a lot easier for our stores,” said Frank Gambarella, Director of Merchandising at Key Food Stores.
Stores are pleased with the capabilities of the software. “With InterScale, we were able to provide the ability to automate pricing updates to all scales, which eliminated the manual efforts that our stores had to manage previously,” continued Aliceann. “Our stores have visibility of all scale data. The ease of use of InterScale allows us to update and control the data at scale level from a central location, across all of our stores.”
When the InterScale implementation is completed, Key Food Stores intends to further explore ADC’s FIM software solutions.
“We worked extensively with Key Food Stores to achieve their goals and are very pleased to hear such favorable results,” said Steve Loveridge, CEO at ADC. “We look forward to working with them on their future FIM projects.”
The InterScale Scales Manager is one of three software systems that comprise InterStore, ADC's integrated fresh item management software suite. The other two systems are: the NutriGen Recipe Manager, which derives the true cost of recipes (including packaging and labor), as well as managing all of the allergen and nutritional facts through their recipes for legally compliant labeling, and the P-Cubed Production Manager, which automates, manages and tracks shrink, inventory and production in the fresh departments of grocery stores.
ADC announces that Publix Super Markets, a 1,081 store chain headquartered in Lakeland,
Florida, has completed implementation of InterScale, ADC’s Scales Management Software system, into all of their stores.
InterScale is now transmitting data to and from the barcode labeling scales in all of Publix’s stores. InterScale communicates with over fifty different types of barcode labeling scales, printers and kiosks, from a variety of manufacturers.
“We are pleased that Publix has completed the roll-out of InterScale into all of their stores” said Steve Loveridge, ADC’s CEO.
InterScale is one of three systems within ADC’s InterStore FIM software suite and works with the NutriGen Recipe Manager and the P-Cubed In-Store Food Production Manager to provide grocers with an integrated software solution to help increase efficiencies in their fresh departments.
