Tampa, Fla. — Publix has selected Applied Data Corporation’s InterScale scales management software to transmit data to and from the barcode labeling scales in its stores.

ADC is a leading provider of fresh item management (FIM), recipe management and scales management software for the grocery retail and food service industries.

It also includes fresh inventory management, perishable production planning and ordering.

"InterScale allows Publix to not only send on-time scale batches, but it also lays the groundwork for future FIM projects," said Steve Loveridge, ADC's CEO.
