Overview of Torgsoft marketing capabilities

Foundation

1. Customer base and segmentation

Marketing begins with the customer profile and their history of interaction with the store. Torgsoft can store full name, phone numbers, e-mail, address, region, date of birth, gender, family composition, mailing language, consent to receive SMS, type of discount card, and service conditions.

Purchase history

The profile and reports show purchased goods, number of receipts, sales amounts, date of the last purchase, last receipt, returns, discounts, bonuses, and the VIP customer's debt.

Audience search

Customer activity analysis allows finding those who bought frequently, haven't returned for a long time, purchased or did not purchase a specific product, belong to a region, or came from a partner.

Data quality

It is possible to control phone number matches, block discount cards, merge duplicates, and reuse a cleared card with the same barcode.

Service conditions

You can leave a comment and a "Warning" mark in the profile. For VIP customers, Torgsoft controls deferred payments, debt, and the product-money balance.

The additional option "Customer Profile and Binotel Calls" expands this process: it adds customer interests, contacts, and reminders, as well as work with Binotel IP telephony. During a call, an employee can open the profile, view purchases, invoices, waybills, previous contacts, and the call log. A new number can be immediately added to the customer base.

Retention

3. Discounts, bonuses, and loyalty programs

In Torgsoft, you can manage fixed, cumulative, and bonus cards. Rules are set centrally, and the discount or bonus is calculated during the sale. The reports store information about the type, size, and employee who applied the discount.

Cumulative discount

The percentage changes upon reaching a set purchase amount. You can configure transition thresholds, initial card conditions, and the transition to a new level after purchasing a specific product.

Bonuses are credited immediately or after a specified period and are used for partial or full payment according to the store's rules.

Product and audience

The product group can take into account the product type, manufacturer, season, supplier, and specific items. A promotion can be limited to a list of customers or points of sale.

Period

Dates, days of the week, and active hours are configured. Separately, you can limit the offer period after issuing a customer card.

Quantity and amount

The condition can be the number of different products, total quantity, quantity of products from a specific group, or the amount of products in the receipt.

One product in the receipt

The discount can be applied to a product in the order of addition or to the cheapest one. Separate discounts are supported for the first, second, third, and subsequent products.

Priorities

Customer acquisition culminates in a sale through a channel convenient for them.

The exact scope of data exchange depends on the channel and the selected integration.

Measurement

Missed calls

The Binotel log shows the result and duration of calls. Missed appeals can be selected for follow-up contact with the customer.

Customer surveys

Questions can be displayed at the checkout or used during post-sale calling. Responses are analyzed by period, point of sale, and options.

Product result

For the selected period, you can compare revenue, discount loss amount, and product profit. Recalculation of cost is available for some analyses.

The forecast has limitationsThe calculation relies on a past similar promotion and the current sales level. It does not account for all external factors. Use it as a guideline; the calculation does not guarantee a result.

What product profit meansThis is the difference between the sale of a product and its cost. Torgsoft does not subtract the cost of mailing, advertising, staff work, and other campaign expenses from this metric, so product profit is not net profit or automatically calculated marketing ROI.

The card is read by a regular barcode scanner, and its conditions are automatically applied to the sale. One-time promo codes for friends are generated within the "Refer a Friend" option.

Customer questionnaire

Templates help collect contact details, date of birth, and information about children for subsequent entry into the profile.

Coupon with a control barcode

A control barcode can be printed on a flyer, added to a letter, or sent to a customer as part of a promotion. Printing the customer's address on an envelope is available for postal communication.

Practical implementation

9. Where to start marketing in Torgsoft

1

Put customer data in order

Check phones, e-mails, dates of birth, duplicate cards, mailing language, and customer consent to messaging.

Start data collection with the fields you will realistically use for segmentation and communication.

2

Choose one business goal

For example: return customers with no purchases in 90 days, increase repeat purchases, or attract new buyers through recommendations.

For each goal, define the audience, offer condition, period, and performance indicator.

3

Configure rules in the program

Set the discount, bonus, promotion, product groups, priorities, message channels, and employee rights.

Verify a test sale before launch, including the compatibility of multiple discounts in one receipt.

4

Compare the result with the baseline period

Evaluate the number of buyers, receipts, revenue, product profit, discount costs, used bonuses, and conversion.

Make a decision to continue the promotion after checking the product profit, revenue dynamics, and expenses tracked outside this indicator.

Marketing workflow in Torgsoft

Customer data Segment Offer Sale Analysis

Torgsoft stores data to verify each stage, but the linkage method depends on the scenario. Mailing analysis shows purchases of its participants for the selected period, and the control barcode allows tagging a sale for a specific promotion. Causality of purchase, net profit of the campaign, and ROI are not calculated automatically.

Test the required scenario in the demo version

Almost every additional option can be activated for a 30-day trial. Test it on a copy of your database or on test data before purchasing.
