Torgsoft combines inventory management, sales, and its own additional options for store operations. A software-based cash register (PRRO), marketplace and delivery integrations can be ordered from one developer, while the Torgsoft team is available for support every day.
The tables compare Torgsoft Ultra and BAS Retail Trade for a store. Torgsoft Terminal is mentioned separately for working from remote locations. Paid options are not automatically included in the main licence.
BAS has several products intended for different purposes. This comparison concerns the retail solution and the described conditions of its use.
Getting started, licences, and support
Torgsoft can be used immediately after installation. Below is how this works together with licences, updates, and developer support.
| What we compare | Torgsoft | BAS Retail Trade |
|---|---|---|
| Starting inventory management | You can start immediately after installation: add products and record the first transactions. Standard functions are ready to use. | Standard store operations and a cashier workstation are available. To get started, you need to enter data and configure the software and equipment. |
| Licences for a local store | One Ultra licence for each computer. It does not require an additional Torgsoft client licence. Options and services are purchased separately. | The package consists of the main licence and client access rights for the required number of workplaces. Take into account the workplaces already included in the package. |
| Several checkout stations with a shared database | Ultra does not require a separate Torgsoft server licence for a local network. Terminal is selected for remote locations. | A server licence is required for the client-server configuration. A shared database alone does not mean that such a licence is always required. |
| Software updates | Under the current terms, Ultra updates are free. New paid options and specialist assistance are charged separately. | For non-basic versions, updates are provided under an ITS information technology support agreement. For basic BAS versions, the service is available at no additional charge. Rental plans are governed by the relevant agreement. |
| Developer support | Software, configuration, training, and compatible equipment are available from one company. You can contact the Torgsoft team directly. | You can contact a partner and the central consultation line. A single partner may also provide a complete range of services. |
| Daily support | Torgsoft technical support works every day, including Saturdays and Sundays. | The central consultation line operates on weekdays, excluding public holidays. Each partner sets its own service schedule. |
| Clear support terms | The paid period and the number of hours are defined by the Torgsoft package. You can choose the required amount of assistance in advance. | The scope and cost of services depend on the service and the agreement with the company supporting you. |
| Testing before purchase | A 30-day demo with your own products. New customers can receive two hours of initial assistance for 30 days under the terms of the offer. | An online demo database is available for familiarisation with the software. |
Ready-made Torgsoft options include instructions and developer support. For the operations covered by them, you can connect an existing function without ordering custom development. Bank, marketplace, and delivery service fees are paid separately.
Checkout, equipment, and offline operation
One of Torgsoft’s strengths is its own ready-made options for checkout and online sales. For a supported scenario, you order the function, its configuration, and support from the software developer.
| What we compare | Torgsoft | BAS Retail Trade |
|---|---|---|
| Fiscal receipts in the software | Torgsoft’s own software-based cash register (PRRO) generates receipts in the inventory management software. It is a separate paid annual option. | A compatible third-party software-based cash register can be connected. The terms depend on the integration and service. |
| Sales without internet access | Ultra works with a local database. For a checkout connected to a remote server, there is the Torgsoft Hybrid option: sales are stored locally and transferred after the connection is restored. | Data exchange between separate store and checkout databases is available. Autonomous operation is configured according to the network structure. |
| Amount on the payment terminal | The amount is transferred automatically through the integration option for a compatible terminal. The cashier does not need to enter it again. | Payment terminals for card payments can be connected. |
| Equipment in one order | A scanner, printer, scales, and software can be purchased from Torgsoft. Models are selected according to compatibility and required operations. | Retail equipment is supported. Purchase and connection may be included in a partner’s offer. |
Products, staff, and your data
Both programs provide inventory management. The shared capabilities and differences important for a store’s daily operations are listed below.
| What we compare | Torgsoft | BAS Retail Trade |
|---|---|---|
| Stock and product characteristics | Receipts, sales, transfers, and stocktaking. Sizes and colours; serial numbers and special accounting for goods sold by length require the corresponding options. | Warehouse operations and characteristic-based accounting are available. This is a common foundation of both solutions. |
| Different currencies | The «Multi-currency sales» option is available. It supports payments in configured currencies and conversion at the applicable exchange rate. It is used subject to the payment rules of the country where the business operates. | According to the official BAS Retail Trade description, commercial transactions are conducted in hryvnias. |
| Sales staff and remuneration | A sale can be linked to a salesperson; salary and incentives can be calculated in Torgsoft. Options are available for assigning products to salespeople, accruals, bonuses, and payment records. | Employee working time and sales by salesperson can be recorded. |
| Customers and repeat purchases | Discount cards, bonuses, and gift certificates. Some capabilities are included in Ultra, while others are connected as paid options. | Discounts, discount cards, and gift certificates are available. |
| Database storage and backups | The local Ultra database is stored on your premises. The cloud backup option sends copies to Google Drive according to a configured schedule. | Local deployment is also possible. Backups and their verification are arranged for the selected configuration. |
Offline inventory management and fiscal receipts are separate matters. For a software-based cash register, offline operation must be configured in advance and the applicable limits must be observed. If the software runs on a remote server, having a software-based cash register alone is not sufficient for autonomous checkout operation.
You do not necessarily need to employ your own system administrator to operate a local store: configuration can be ordered from Torgsoft. If you use a server, determine in advance who will maintain it and verify the backups.
What else can be connected to Torgsoft
These capabilities are developed and supported by the Torgsoft team. You can add them as your store develops. The paid options and separate solutions are described below; the payment period depends on the selected capability.
Online sales and delivery
- Prom.ua and Rozetka.ua. Ready-made options transfer products, prices, stock, and orders between the software and the marketplace.
- Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta. Shipping waybills can be prepared in Torgsoft.
- Your own website can be connected to product inventory management. The ready-made Torgsoft Online Market is also available, with exchange of product, stock, and order data.
Payment and self-service
- Tap to Phone. A customer can pay for goods by card using a compatible smartphone. A supported banking application and the corresponding Torgsoft option are required.
- Self-checkout. Customers scan products and complete purchases themselves. The option and compatible equipment are required.
Control of money, sales, and customers
- The bank statement option downloads data from Privat24 and monobank after access has been configured.
- The Torgsoft mobile application displays sales, stock, and reports. The corresponding option and configured database access are required.
- SMS and Viber help notify customers about purchases and store offers. Integrations and message delivery are paid for under their respective terms.
Rental, repair, and production
Torgsoft has options for product rental, repair and warranty service, and accounting for materials and finished goods with cost calculation. The required operations can be checked with a Torgsoft specialist using examples from your business.
Restoring an unfinished sale
If work is interrupted, an unfinished sale can be reopened. Depending on the settings, it is stored in drafts or unpaid sales. The status of the fiscal receipt is checked separately.
When these advantages are noticeable in practice
- You sell in a physical store and on Prom.ua or Rozetka.ua. With Torgsoft, you can order the software and ready-made data exchange options from one developer. This simplifies the selection of a compatible solution and requests concerning its configuration.
- You want to issue fiscal receipts from the inventory management software. Torgsoft’s own software-based cash register works within the system. It does not require selecting an integration with a third-party software-based cash register service.
- Your store operates at weekends. Torgsoft support is also available on Saturdays and Sundays. Assistance is provided within working hours and the limits of your service package.
- You want to test the software before payment. In the demo version, you can receive your own products, record a sale and return, and print documents. The data can be retained for further work after purchasing the appropriate licence.
What must be paid for separately
A perpetual Torgsoft Ultra licence gives you the right to use the purchased software without a monthly rental fee for the licence itself. A separate budget is required for paid options, support, equipment, and a server if one is used. Torgsoft Online subscriptions are governed by the terms of the relevant plan.
Technical support has a validity period and an hour limit. The package defines the paid period and amount of assistance. Two initial hours can be used for initial configuration and questions; additional work is charged under the selected terms.
Under the current terms, Torgsoft Ultra updates are free. New paid options and specialist services are charged separately.
For a larger number of Ultra licences, the price list provides a lower price per computer. Instalment payments are also available. Request a calculation for the required checkout stations, users, options, data migration, and training. It should list one-time and recurring payments separately.
How to check whether Torgsoft is suitable for you
- Upload several of your own products with sizes, colours, or other required characteristics.
- Record receipt of goods, a discounted sale, payment, and return. Check the stock and sales totals.
- Connect your equipment. If you need a software-based cash register or integrations, arrange trial activation of the corresponding options.
- Show the documents to your accountant and the checkout workflow to the salesperson. Record what already meets your needs and what requires configuration.

Frequently asked questions
Can data be transferred from BAS or 1C?
Torgsoft supports importing products and customers from Excel. Stock and prices are uploaded according to an agreed procedure. The export is prepared by the user or a specialist responsible for the previous software. The full document history, accounting entries, and custom modifications are not transferred automatically.
Does a salesperson need accounting knowledge?
Accounting knowledge is not required to sell, accept payment, or process product returns. The salesperson works with the store’s products and documents. Torgsoft is intended for internal management accounting; statutory accounting and reporting must be organised separately.
What happens if technical support is not renewed?
The expiry of a support package does not itself terminate a perpetual licence. A valid package or available initial hours are required for new requests to specialists. Time-limited options, including the software-based cash register, and rental services are paid for under their own terms.
Are all integrations included in Ultra?
No. The software-based cash register, marketplace and delivery integrations, and other extensions may be separate paid options. Before purchasing, request a list of the required functions indicating the payment period and number of licences.

For Torgsoft, the user guide, descriptions of Ultra, the software-based cash register, integrations with Prom.ua and Rozetka.ua, Hybrid, and support terms were used. For BAS, the official description of BAS Retail Trade and the terms of update and consultation services were used.
