Comprehensive automation of a children's store requires considering the specifics of the merchandise (clothing/shoe sizes, age groups, seasonality) and active engagement with customers (parents). Below is a detailed overview of the necessary licenses, equipment, and Torgsoft software functions for this type of business.

1. Choosing a Torgsoft license

For a children's store, functions for managing size grids (clothing, shoes) and loyalty systems are critically important.

Recommended version — «Ultra»: this license is best suited for a children's goods store because, unlike the basic «Start» version, it supports work with size ranges, VIP clients, a bonus system, promotions, and gift certificates.

«Terminal» Version: if you plan a retail network (several stores) with a single database over the internet, you will need a terminal license. It allows for remote work and consolidation of data from all locations.

Torgsoft-Online (Rent): if you do not want to purchase a license immediately, you can rent the program on the developer's server with monthly payment. The functionality corresponds to the «Terminal» version.

2. Main software capabilities for a children's store

The Torgsoft program has specific tools that simplify the management of a toy and children's clothing store:

Size and color tracking: you can keep records by model, size, and color (important for clothing and shoes), which allows you to see the stock of a specific size within a model context.

Kit assembly: the ability to sell goods both separately and as sets (for example, newborn kits, gift toy sets). If an item is missing, the program can automatically "assemble" a kit from components.

Family structure (CRM): in the client card, you can record the names and birthdates of children. This allows for setting up automatic discounts for a child's birthday.

Bonus system: accrual of bonuses for purchases, which parents can use to pay next time.

Seasonality: the ability to classify goods by season (winter, summer, school) and use the "Box goods for seasonal storage" option to clear outdated items from the shelves.

Gift certificates: tracking the sale and redemption of certificates, which is a popular item in children's stores.

3. Necessary additional options (Modules)

For full-fledged operation, it is recommended to connect the following options:

Software PRRO (E-receipts): for fiscalization of receipts and compliance with legal requirements without purchasing a physical cash register. The program sends receipts to the tax authority automatically.

Bank terminal connection: allows automatically transferring the purchase amount from the program to the terminal (eliminates seller errors when entering the amount).

Deletion of closed period statistics: a useful option for cleaning the database of outdated data to speed up the program after several years of use.

Mass SMS/Viber mailing: for informing parents about promotions, new arrivals, or birthday greetings for a child.

Synchronization with an online store (Prom/Rozetka): if you plan to sell goods online as well, this option will allow syncing stock and prices.

4. Retail equipment

To automate the cashier-seller workplace, you will need the following kit:

Computer or POS monoblock: a touch monoblock (e.g., Leabon) takes up less space and is more convenient to use, but a regular laptop or PC with Windows OS can be used.

Barcode scanner: for quick sales of goods. You can choose wired or wireless (radio scanner) for the convenience of scanning bulky toys or strollers.

Receipt printer: for printing non-fiscal receipts or PRRO fiscal receipts. Popular models include Xprinter (e.g., XP-Q90EC).

Label printer: necessary for children's stores since many goods (clothing, small toys) may not have a manufacturer's barcode or require a price tag with a local description. Recommended models: Xprinter XP-370B or XP-235B.

Bank terminal: provided by the bank, but must support protocols (BPOS, PosApi, WebSocket/JSON, etc.) for integration with Torgsoft.
