ADC's InterStore.NET framework utilizes commercially proven Internet technologies
to implement ADC's applications on a web server(s) at your corporate location which
accesses a shared SQL Server or Oracle relational database (others on application).
There are many benefits inherent to this "thin-client" architecture:

• The user interface, be it in-store, regional or headquarters, is dynamic HTML accessed through any web browser. ADC uses no browser-specific extensions.
• One instance of the application and its programmatic objects, not one per store, so support costs are radically reduced when compared to an older, "thick-client" style of implementation.
• One version of the truth: store operations such as markdowns, transfer, inventory adjustments, etc. are made in real-time onto the one central database over the retailer's intranet, allowing centralized management unprecedented views of summarized and exceptional operational data.
• Controlled specialization: the database has been carefully constructed to keep each division, zone grouping and store specific data specialization distinct. The architecture does not constrain any degree of autonomous store operation if allowed.
• Consistent and integrated permissioning schema: An extensive role-based user permission schema is used to dynamically construct menus and forms, so users can only "see what they can do". This permissioning can be integrated with standardized enterprise and/or network operating system user management if required.
• Enables transaction-level integration with enterprise architecture and applications using web-services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). ADC's extensive use of web services enables such integration regardless of operating system and programming language.

ADC makes extensive use of XML in interfacing and has defined an XML Dictionary document, available on request. This XML conforms to the National Retail Federation's (NRF) Association of Retail Technology Standards (ARTS) as closely as possible.

ADC's InterStore.NET applications are built in a layered architecture in the Microsoft ASP.NET environment where all user interfaces are delivered in dynamic HTML through zero-client web-browsers and where "DLL hell" is a thing of the past.

ADC's iScale range of in-store solid state scale servers run the Linux operating system from a compact flash card and use ADC circuitry (pictured above) to provide output at the precise line and protocol levels required by the various scale brands and models.
