The option connects electronic scales at the checkout with the Torgsoft program. When goods are weighed, their exact weight is automatically transferred to the sale window, so the cashier does not need to enter the numbers manually. This speeds up service and reduces errors. It is needed for grocery stores, supermarkets, pet stores, and any retail business that sells goods by weight.
What the «Integration with checkout scales» option can do
At the checkout during a sale
- Automatic weight reading — as soon as the item is placed on the scales, the program reads its weight and enters it into the sale window.
- Calculation of cost by weight — the cashier immediately sees the unit price, weight, and final cost of the item on the screen.
- Manual weight entry — if the scales fail, the cashier enables the «Set weight manually» switch and enters the weight from the keyboard so that sales do not stop.
Speed and operation through the server
- Keeping the connection with the scales — the «Keep connection with scales» switch keeps the COM port open and noticeably speeds up weighing when working through a remote server (RDP).
Receiving and production
- Weighing during goods receipt — scales can be used not only at the checkout but also during goods receiving to record the weight of weighted items without manual entry.
- Weighing in production — the «Weighing» operation in route sheets accurately writes off the weight of raw materials in proportion to the weight of the finished batch.
Working without internet
- Offline sale of goods by weight — the option works in the Torgsoft-Hybrid application, so goods can be weighed and sold even when the connection to the server is lost.
