For the complex automation of a jewelry store, the Torgsoft program offers specialized tools that take into account the specifics of accounting for precious metals, stones, and products. Below is a list of necessary licenses, options, equipment, and a description of key system capabilities based on the provided sources.
1. Torgsoft Licenses
The choice of license depends on the number of stores and workplaces:
Torgsoft-Ultra: the recommended version for a single store or local network. This license allows the use of advanced marketing functions, work with VIP clients, and, most importantly, supports the connection of specialized additional options for jewelry products.
Torgsoft-Terminal: necessary if you plan a network of stores or require remote access to the database via the Internet (for example, the owner wants to control the business from home or another city). This version allows combining all points into a single database.
2. Additional Options (Modules)
The following options are critical for the jewelry business:
Accounting of measures and weights for jewelry products (Code 033): this is the main option for a jewelry store. It allows keeping track of products (gold, silver) that have their own measure of weight. The price of the product can be formed automatically depending on the weight of the product and the price per gram. Fields for fineness, weight, size, and insets are added.
Software ECR (Webkassa/Checkbox etc.) (Code 071): for fiscalization of sales without using a physical cash register. Allows sending electronic receipts to the tax authority.
Bank terminal connection (Code 058): allows synchronizing the program with a POS terminal for automatic transmission of the payment amount, which eliminates seller errors when manually entering the amount.
Gift certificates (Code 019): allows issuing, selling, and accounting for gift certificates, which is a popular item in jewelry stores.
Repair and warranty service (Code 043): if the store provides jewelry repair services, resizing rings, etc. Allows keeping track of accepted items, printing receipts, and tracking repair status.
Product photography (Code 045): for creating a catalog of products with photos, which simplifies the identification of unique jewelry.
Data security: archive in the cloud (Code 057): for automatic saving of database copies to Google Drive to protect information.
3. Trading Equipment
For the full operation of a jewelry store, the following equipment will be needed (prices are not indicated, according to the request):
Label printer: necessary for printing special miniature jewelry tags with a barcode, weight, fineness, and price. Models supporting printing on polypropylene labels (resistant to abrasion) are recommended, for example, brands like Zebra or Xprinter.
Barcode scanner: for quick sales and inventory. It is advisable to choose 2D scanners, which better read small and dense barcodes on jewelry tags.
Jewelry scales: high-precision electronic scales that can be connected to a computer. This allows automatically transferring the weight of the product to the program upon receipt or sale, avoiding manual entry errors. The program supports various models, for example, Axis, Vagar, CAS.
Receipt printer: for printing non-fiscal receipts or fiscal receipts (when using Software ECR) for the buyer.
POS terminal (All-in-One PC) or Laptop: the computer on which the program will be installed.
Bank terminal: for accepting card payments.
4. Key Capabilities of the Program for a Jewelry Store
Thanks to the combination of the license and the "Accounting of measures and weights" option, Torgsoft provides the following capabilities:
Specific product description: fields appear in the product card for specifying the metal (gold, silver), fineness, product weight, and standard unit of measurement (gram).
Automatic price calculation: the ability to set a price per gram, and the program will automatically calculate the cost of a specific product based on its weight.
Printing jewelry tags: setting up label templates that contain all the necessary information on a small area of a jewelry tag: barcode, weight, size, fineness, insets.
Inventory by barcodes: each jewelry product is usually unique (even identical models may have different weights), so the program allows keeping track of each unit separately, which simplifies the re-accounting of expensive goods.
Work with repairs: receiving items from clients for repair, accounting for used materials (scrap, stones) and master's services.
Purchase/Exchange (Trade-in): the possibility of processing transactions when a client hands over an old item as payment for a new one (via a return mechanism or purchase, depending on business process settings).
To start working, you can download a demo version for 30 days to test all these functions for free.
