For the comprehensive automation of an active recreation store (camping gear, bicycles, fishing, apparel, etc.), it is necessary to consider the specifics of the goods: seasonality, availability of size ranges (apparel/footwear), warranty accounting for complex equipment, and potential rental or repair services.
Here is a detailed list of the necessary software, options, and equipment, compiled based on the provided sources.
1. Torgsoft Licenses
The choice of license depends on the scale of your business (single store or chain) and the number of workplaces:
Torgsoft-Ultra: this is the optimal option for a single store with extended functionality. It allows for full warehouse and financial accounting, working with the customer base, marketing, and connecting specific options (which are unavailable in the "Start" version, such as repair or rental).
Torgsoft-Terminal: if you plan a chain of stores or need remote access to the database via the Internet (for example, the owner wants to control the business from home while salespeople work in the store), you should choose the terminal license. It allows working in a single database from different locations.
Torgsoft-Hybrid: if the active recreation store (for example, in the mountains or outside the city) has unstable Internet, this option allows trading offline, and when the connection appears, data is synchronized with the server.
2. Recommended Additional Options (Modules)
For the specifics of an active recreation store, the following options will be critically important:
Accounting for warranty goods by serial numbers (Code 010): necessary for selling bicycles, navigators, optics, expensive equipment where it is important to track a unique serial number for warranty.
Goods rental (Code 041): if the store provides equipment rental services (skis, tents, bicycles), this option allows tracking issued goods, deposits, and return deadlines.
Repair and warranty service (Code 043): relevant if the store has a workshop for repairing bicycles or equipment. Allows tracking items accepted for repair, used spare parts, and labor.
Collecting goods in a box for seasonal storage (Code 053): helps organize the storage of non-seasonal goods (for example, storing ski equipment in summer), simplifying warehouse logistics.
Software RRO connection (Code 071): a mandatory option for fiscalization of receipts according to legislation, allowing receipts to be sent to the tax authority via the Internet without purchasing a classic cash register.
Bank terminal connection (Code 058): integrates the POS terminal with the program so that the amount to be paid is automatically transmitted to the terminal, eliminating salesperson errors.
Synchronization with an online store (Code 018): if you have a website (Prom, Rozetka, or your own), this option allows automatically updating stock and prices.
3. Trading Equipment
For automating the cashier and warehouse keeper workplace, the following set will be needed (prices are not indicated as per the request):
Barcode scanner: for an active recreation store, it is better to choose a wireless scanner. This will allow scanning bulky items (bicycles, boats, tents) without lifting them to the checkout counter.
Receipt printer: necessary for printing non-fiscal receipts or fiscal receipts when using Software RRO. Tape width 57 mm or 80 mm.
Label printer: needed for labeling goods that do not have a factory barcode, or for printing price tags and labels with barcodes for serial numbers.
POS monoblock or PC/Laptop: the main computer on which the Torgsoft program will be installed. A touch monoblock saves space at the checkout.
Bank terminal: provided by the bank, but must support protocols for integration with Torgsoft (for example, BPOS, PosApi, JSON).
4. Key Features of the Program for Your Store
Comprehensive automation based on Torgsoft will ensure the following key processes:
Size range accounting: convenient accounting of clothes and shoes by sizes, colors, and collections (important for outdoor apparel).
Warehouse accounting and Inventory: full control of balances, possibility of carrying out inventory (including partial) using a barcode scanner, which minimizes re-sorting and shortages.
Price and discount management: setting up promotions, discount programs, bonus systems for regular customers, seasonal sales.
Bundling: the ability to create sets (for example, "Skis + Bindings" or "Tent + Sleeping bag") and sell them as a whole or in parts.
Financial control: accounting for all cash flows (cash, non-cash), settlements with suppliers, debt control.
Work with clients (CRM): maintaining a customer database, purchase history, SMS mailings about promotions or new season arrivals.
This set will ensure a full cycle of active recreation store management: from purchasing goods to their sale, warranty service, or rental.
