For comprehensive automation of a cosmetics and household chemicals store, it is necessary to select software that allows managing a large assortment of small items, creating gift sets, maintaining a customer database, and providing fast checkout service. Below is a list of the necessary components of the Torgsoft system for this type of business.
1. Software Licenses
The choice of license depends on the number of stores and the required functionality:
Torgsoft-Ultra: recommended version for a cosmetics store. It allows keeping records on one or several computers within one store (local network). The main advantage for this niche is the availability of "Assembly" and "Disassembly" functions (absent in the Start version). This is critically important for creating gift sets (e.g., shampoo + balm) or selling items from packaging individually (e.g., ampoules, masks).
Torgsoft-Terminal: necessary if you plan a retail chain with several stores located in different places and want to manage them in real-time via the Internet.
Torgsoft-Start: basic version for one store. Suitable if you do not need a loyalty system, work with VIP clients, and set formation (kits).
2. Recommended Additional Options
Software RRO (pRRO): for fiscalizing receipts without purchasing a classic cash register. Allows sending electronic receipts to the tax office.
Bank Terminal Connection: for automatic transfer of the amount to be paid from the program to the terminal, which eliminates seller errors and speeds up service.
Gift Certificates: allows issuing, selling, and accepting gift certificates for payment.
Bonus System with Expiration: for customer retention through the accumulation of bonuses that expire after a certain time.
3. Necessary Trade Equipment
1
Barcode Scanner: mandatory for fast product search. For cosmetics, it is better to choose 2D scanners.
2
Label Printer: allows printing price tags and barcodes for sticking on small items.
3
Receipt Printer: for printing non-fiscal or fiscal receipts for the buyer.
Key Software Capabilities
The Torgsoft program provides a full accounting cycle: from warehouse inventory control and working with sets to marketing, financial analysis, and personnel management.
