Before buying: how to calmly test Torgsoft and make a decision about automation

Choosing software for business is a responsible step that is often accompanied by anxiety. Entrepreneurs are afraid to invest in a tool that may not meet expectations or turn out to be too complex. This uncertainty is completely understandable.

Software is a complex product. You cannot “try it on” and immediately determine whether it fits your needs.

Torgsoft understands these challenges, which is why it offers several ways to thoroughly and free of charge test the software. This allows you to make a well-considered decision without haste or financial risks, ensuring that the system fully meets your business needs.

1. Full 30-day test drive: work with your own data that will be saved

Every entrepreneur can download a free demo version of Torgsoft and use it for 30 days. Thirty days is a balanced period that allows you not just to “click through” the program, but to carry out a full implementation of one of your key business processes and evaluate its effectiveness in real conditions.

The key advantage of this approach is that it is not a temporary experiment, but the actual start of your business automation. You work with a fully functional version, entering your real products and customers and performing real operations. All entered data is fully preserved and becomes the foundation of your working system after purchasing a commercial license. This is not just a test, but a risk-free start to automation.

2. Try any additional option for free

Even if you already own a commercial Torgsoft license, you can activate and test almost any paid add-on option for free for 30 days. This is a strategic opportunity to “future-proof” your solution. You are not only checking whether the software meets today’s needs, but also confirming its ability to scale together with your business.

For example, you can test the “Bulk SMS and e-mail messaging” option to launch marketing campaigns, or implement a “Software ECR” to evaluate its advantages over a classic fiscal registrar. This helps ensure that Torgsoft will cover future needs such as marketplace synchronization, advanced analytics, or new customer communication channels.

The only exception is the “Deletion of statistics of closed periods” option, as this action is irreversible.

3. Two testing paths: choose your own pace

Torgsoft offers two different ways to test the software, suitable for different needs and available time.

A. Deep dive: installing the demo version on your computer

This is the “gold standard” of testing, recommended for everyone who is serious about automation. It allows you to test the software in real working conditions of your business. This method involves downloading the program from the official website and installing it on a Windows computer, enabling you to work with your own data, settings, and connect retail equipment.

After installation, standard credentials are used to log in:

• Login: sa

• Password: 2009

B. Instant preview: online demo in the browser

If you want to quickly get acquainted with the interface and core features without installation, the online demo version is the best choice. It works directly in your web browser using preloaded test databases.

Industry demo databases for a quick start

To make the preview as relevant as possible, we have prepared databases for different business types. Simply use the appropriate login (the password is the same for all — 2009):

• Clothing: demo_odejda

• Children’s goods: demo_detskiy

• Footwear: demo_obuv

• Groceries: demo_produkty

• Stationery: demo_kanctovary

• Building materials: demo_stroitelnuy

• Costume jewelry: demo_bijuteriya

Please consider the key limitations of this mode:

4. You are not alone: free support for beginners

By downloading the demo version for installation on your computer, you receive a valuable bonus: 2 hours of free technical support during the 30-day trial period. This support is activated automatically when you register the demo version with your contact details.

This is not just consultation, but practical help in solving key tasks at the start. You can use this time for:

• Importing an existing product database from Excel.

• Setting up access roles for your employees (sales staff, cashiers).

• Connecting and configuring retail equipment: barcode scanners, receipt and label printers.

• Getting answers to niche-specific accounting questions.

This guarantees that you will not get stuck on technical details and will use the trial period as efficiently as possible.

5. The psychological aspect: why a paid trial is more effective than a free one

There is an interesting paradox: entrepreneurs who download completely free software often postpone its implementation. Since there is no “investment pressure”, the sense of urgency disappears, and the “Automation” project risks staying on the “someday” list.

A 30-day trial period of a powerful paid system like Torgsoft creates a different mindset. It encourages an investment not of money, but of the most valuable resource — focused time and attention. A clear deadline motivates treating testing as a priority project rather than a routine task. This pushes you to allocate time, understand the functionality, and actually begin the automation process.

Checklist: how to start inventory accounting in Torgsoft

1. Prepare your computer

• Windows PC or laptop

• Preferably 8 GB of RAM

• SSD drive

This ensures the program runs fast and does not slow down during sales, reports, and inventories.

2. Install the program

• Download Torgsoft from the official website

• Run the installer as administrator

During installation, the program adds system services. If installed “like a regular application”, database or access issues may occur later.

3. Choose the operating mode

Only on this computer

Choose if:

• you have one store;

• one checkout;

• one computer;

• one person handles accounting.

Server connection

Choose if:

• several computers in the store;

• multiple retail locations;

• sales staff work simultaneously;

• the owner wants separate system access.

This choice determines how data will be stored and whether you can work with accounting from multiple locations at the same time.

4. Log in to the system

• Login: sa

• Password: 2009

• Immediately change the owner password

Even in the demo version, it is important to get used to proper access control to avoid redoing everything later.

5. Fill in store details

• Store or chain name

• Address

• Phone number

• Accounting currency

This data is automatically inserted into documents, reports, and receipts.

6. Create a product structure

• Create product groups

• Organize them logically

This is the foundation of accounting. If chaos is created here, no reports will show the real business picture.

7. Enter products into the system

• Create a purchase invoice

• Enter products manually or import from Excel

Until products are entered, they do not exist for the system.

8. Perform an initial inventory

• Check actual stock

• Record it in the system

This is the starting point for control.

9. Start selling through Torgsoft

• Process a test sale

• Check how products are deducted

• Verify the receipt

From this moment, the system starts working for the business.

10. Review reports

• Sales

• Stock balances

• Product movement

Even in the demo version, get used to looking at numbers, not assumptions.

11. Connect equipment (when everything is clear)

• Receipt printer

• Label printer

• Barcode scanner

It is better to connect equipment after you understand the accounting logic.

12. Enable backups (before real operation)

• Automatic database backups

• Saving to another drive or cloud

While testing the demo version, this is not critical. Before real work, backups are mandatory.

From testing to a confident start

Torgsoft’s strategy is to completely eliminate financial and operational risks from the process of choosing accounting software. A comprehensive approach that includes a full 30-day test drive, free testing of additional options, two flexible familiarization methods, and professional technical support allows you to make an informed and confident choice.

Now that you know how to calmly and risk-free test the software, what is stopping you from taking the first step toward automating your business today?
