For comprehensive automation of a clothing and accessory store, it is necessary to select the right software version, a set of retail equipment, and configure functions specific to fashion retail (tracking sizes, colors, seasonality). Here is a detailed list of what is needed:
1. Torgsoft Licenses
The choice of license depends on the number of stores and the need for marketing tools.
Torgsoft-Ultra: this is the most recommended version for a clothing store if you plan to use a loyalty system. It includes all inventory accounting functionality, as well as work with VIP clients, cumulative discounts, promotions, and gift certificates.
Torgsoft-Start: the basic version for a single store. Suitable if you only need inventory tracking (arrival, sales, warehouse) without a complex discount and marketing system.
Torgsoft-Terminal: necessary if you have a chain of stores that need to be merged into a single database via the Internet, or if the owner wants to manage the store remotely.
Torgsoft-Online: software and server rental (cloud solution) that allows you to work from anywhere and avoid buying a powerful server.
2. Retail Equipment
For a clothing store, labeling goods with tags is critically important, so the equipment set differs from grocery retail.
Computer or Laptop: based on Windows OS. This is the "brain" of the system where the program is installed. Specialized touch monoblocks can also be used.
Label Printer: necessary for printing tags with barcode, size, fabric composition, and price. Recommended models: Xprinter XP-235B, Xprinter XP-365B, or Xprinter XP-420B.
Barcode Scanner: for clothing, it is better to choose a wireless scanner to conveniently conduct inventory and scan bulky items. Recommended models: Netum W6-X, Netum C750, or Asianwell AW-E7.
Receipt Printer: for printing non-fiscal receipts or PRO receipts. Popular models: Xprinter XP-Q90EC or Xprinter XP-58IIK.
Bank Terminal: provided by the bank, but needs to be integrated with the software for automatic transfer of the payment amount.
3. Additional Options (Modules)
For full automation of a clothing store, the following options are recommended:
Software RRO (PRO): for fiscalization of sales in accordance with legislation. Allows sending receipts to the tax office via the Internet.
Bank Terminal Connection: allows avoiding cashier errors when manually entering the amount on the terminal. The amount is transferred from the program to the terminal automatically.
Deletion of Closed Period Statistics: a useful function to speed up database performance if you have a high turnover of goods (the option is included in the package but requires activation).
Synchronization with Online Store (Prom, Rozetka, own site): if you plan to sell online, this option allows you to automatically update stock and prices on the website, as well as download orders into the program.
Torgsoft Mobile App: allows the owner to control sales from a smartphone, as well as use the phone as a scanner during inventory (via the camera).
4. Key Features for a Clothing Store
The Torgsoft program has specific functions that simplify work specifically with clothing and accessories:
Accounting by Sizes and Colors (Size Run): you can track models where each model has its own assortment of sizes and colors. This allows you to quickly receive size runs and analyze the stock of specific sizes.
Barcode Generation and Printing: if goods arrive without tags or with the same barcode for all sizes, the program will generate unique internal barcodes. You can print beautiful labels with the brand name, size, and price.
Seasonality and Collections: the ability to classify goods by seasons ("Summer 2025", "Autumn") and collections for sales analysis and timely sales.
Loyalty System (in Ultra version): setting up cumulative discounts, discount cards, SMS mailings about new arrivals, wishing customers a happy birthday.
Gift Certificates: tracking the sale and redemption of gift certificates, which is popular in accessory and clothing stores.
Inventory: rapid stocktaking using a barcode scanner without stopping trade.
Analytics: reports on stale goods, popular sizes, brand profitability, and the efficiency of each salesperson.
To get started, you can download a free demo version for 30 days to test all these features on your computer.
