Torgsoft is a Ukrainian inventory management system that replaces 1C, BAS, "MoySklad", Bitrix24, EKAM, CloudShop, LiteBox, and Sigma. This article explains which software features cover the capabilities of these solutions and how to switch to Torgsoft in 7 steps.

Alternative to 1C: Torgsoft for stores and warehouses

With the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, many entrepreneurs are abandoning Russian software. The reason for refusal is clear: business owners do not want to pay for Russian programs and thereby finance the aggressor's army of murderers and looters.

Which programs can Torgsoft replace?

Opendatabot has created a list of Russian programs that Ukrainian businesses still use. Among them are accounting, ERP, and CRM systems. Entrepreneurs have been accustomed to using Russian software since pre-war times and do not always realize that there is an alternative.

Torgsoft is the best alternative to 1C, Moy Sklad, Bitrix24, BAS, EKAM, CloudShop, LiteBox, and Sigma.

We won't compare the Ukrainian product with the occupier's programs. Instead, we'll explain through examples and requests how Torgsoft can replace such software.

What is Torgsoft: program capabilities

Trade and Warehouse Management

Torgsoft maintains inventory records at the retail outlet and at several warehouses simultaneously, for multiple sole proprietors or legal entities. The program records goods receipts, sales, returns, warranty exchanges, and write-offs, tracks the movement of goods between warehouses and stores, and shows up-to-date information on stock availability.

Goods can be entered manually or by importing an electronic invoice from a supplier. The nomenclature can also be transferred from 1C (more on how to do this later).

You can maintain records in several currencies: for example, receiving goods in dollars and automatically converting their retail price into hryvnia, applying rounding, or setting margins manually.

Each product can be assigned a specific location in the warehouse: the salesperson sees in the program how much of the product is left and where to find it.

Inventory counting is performed by scanning barcodes on products using a scanner, a data collection terminal, or the Torgsoft mobile app. To conduct a recount in Torgsoft, you don't need to stop sales or close the store.

In the Torgsoft accounting program, you can print or send any document via email: commercial offers, invoices, waybills, receipts, warranty cards, reports, etc.

Financial Accounting

Money tracking: the program provides the entrepreneur with accurate information on how much money is invested in goods and how much has been spent. Torgsoft records sales and automatically summarizes the amount of cash in the register. If the store has several registers, the program will keep track of cash receipts for each one separately.

Sales analysis: the program shows earnings for a specific product, from a particular salesperson, by day, month, etc.

Settlements with customers and suppliers: the program controls customer debts to the store and settlements with suppliers, shows outstanding balances, and generates financial reports for reconciliation and control on both sides.

Accounting in Torgsoft is confidential. Information is stored not in the cloud but on the user's computer; data is sent to the tax office under the entrepreneur's control and only regarding the sale of fiscal goods.

Staff Control and Payroll

Torgsoft allows you to maintain work schedules and automatically calculate salaries in various ways: hourly, per shift, from sales, monthly flat rate, etc.

In addition, Torgsoft keeps track of working hours and monitors the timely arrival of employees at work, including photo verification at the workplace.

Each employee also has the opportunity to see their own detailed payroll statement for hours worked, bonuses, and fines.

From the mobile app, the business owner controls who is currently at work and who is absent or late.

Software for Online Stores

The comprehensive accounting provided by Torgsoft allows you to export data about products and their characteristics to online stores or marketplaces. You can set a correct algorithm for forming product names in the program so that the online store manager doesn't spend days or weeks editing product information in the site's admin panel. Characteristics, photos, and product descriptions are also stored in Torgsoft, meaning there's no need to manually transfer information to each online platform separately. This is a massive time saver.

Torgsoft imports customer orders and informs you about new purchases in the online store. Meanwhile, the stock status in Torgsoft and the online store is automatically synchronized.

CRM System: Working with the Customer Base

Typically, CRM is used by online stores and entrepreneurs working with orders.

The program maintains customer records and stores information about each one: contacts, social networks, birthdays, family composition, purchase history, orders, correspondence, and delivery addresses. In CRM, you can classify customers by interests and set reminders so you don't forget to call a buyer, for example, when the desired product arrives.

Monitoring salesperson performance: the accounting program records how many sales an employee has made, maintains statistics, and shows which workers perform best.

Torgsoft synchronizes with Binotel IP telephony. In the program, you can view the number of calls, quickly jump to the customer card, and create an invoice during the conversation.

Production Automation

Torgsoft automates production: from purchasing raw materials to selling the finished products.

The program monitors settlements with suppliers, calculates the cost of finished products, and maintains material records. When calculating product costs, defective and written-off goods are taken into account, as well as exchange rates if the cost is linked to a currency.

During the production process, the program writes off used materials and updates warehouse availability, keeps track of customer orders and their fulfillment, and controls payments and shipments.

In Torgsoft, you can create bill of materials (technological maps) for a single unit or an entire model range. The program records completed operations and shows which employees are associated with them, tracks worker time, and calculates their salaries based on ranks, output, etc.

Torgsoft generates and sends barcodes for printing. You can also print warranty cards, serial numbers, labels, invoices, and other documentation.

You can set multiple prices for a product simultaneously: wholesale and retail.

All information is stored by Torgsoft on your computer. For employees, flexible access restrictions are established — every button, form, or column can be restricted individually.

Trade Results Analysis

Analytics show which products sell better, bring more profit, which manufacturer's goods should be purchased more next time, and which are better to avoid. The program demonstrates the effectiveness of promotions, advertisements, and staff performance.

Torgsoft offers 30+ types of analysis: sales profitability over a period, size sales ratings, customer debt dynamics, comparative revenue analysis by product type.

The program features an assortment management center to track the movement of goods between stores and warehouses and to distribute goods between accounting centers. Torgsoft records stock entry upon arrival of a new batch, returns, or internal transfers.

For analysis and profit calculation, Torgsoft takes into account sales, write-offs, returns, warranty exchanges, internal transfer costs, etc.


Is it difficult to switch from 1C to Torgsoft?

No. Since you have already maintained records, this will significantly simplify the process of starting work in Torgsoft — the product database already exists.

How to start using Torgsoft?

How to switch from another program to Torgsoft in 7 steps 

1. Create categories: trees of product types, manufacturers, seasons

In Torgsoft — Merchandising — Product Type, form a tree of product types that will be convenient for you to use. For example:

Example of a product type tree in Torgsoft

If you don't have an idea for a hierarchical category structure, you can borrow product categories from Rozetka.

2. Export data from the old program to Excel

Save the list of products with prices and quantities by category in separate Excel files. Saving in separate files according to the structure of product types you created in Torgsoft ↑ is necessary — for example, separately for sneakers, separately for insoles, separately for shoe cleaning products.

This is convenient so that all products end up in their respective groups after uploading, and each group can be configured separately.

3. Format the Excel files

The table for import into Torgsoft must be prepared in Excel. The downside of 1C is that upon exporting, merged cells may appear in the table, or the table might be broken up by rows containing category names:

This should not happen. For import into Torgsoft, a simple table is needed:

Template for a simple table for import into Torgsoft

Also, in Torgsoft, products with different barcodes cannot have the same name. This should be taken into account.

4. Import the goods receipt invoice

If you upload a list of products with quantities, the goods will be entered into stock. If you import products without quantities, only the nomenclature will be uploaded.

5. Check quantities and prices

After importing into Torgsoft, you need to open the created goods receipt invoice and verify the correctness of the information: names, prices, barcodes, and articles. Difficulties may arise when importing alphanumeric articles. If the import result is unsatisfactory, you need to delete all products from the goods receipt invoice and the product directory and try the import with different settings.

6. Print price tags

Price tags for all products can be printed at the click of a single button Price tag print button in Torgsoft

7. Import the client list

The principle of importing clients is the same as for products.

Transition complete. You can now work in a Ukrainian accounting system.
