«Connecting electronic scales» — is an additional option that allows you to connect electronic scales to Torgsoft for weighing goods at the checkout. The cashier places the item on the scales — Torgsoft instantly recognizes its weight and calculates the cost.
Why does manual weight entry kill sales?
If you sell goods by weight, the usual cashier workflow looks like this:
Staff errors
Accounting chaos
Checkout queues
Place item on scales → Look at display → Manually type weight on keyboard → Sell.
Risks of this approach:
Staff errorsThe cashier hurries, gets tired, and enters, for example, 1.055 instead of 0.155 kg. You lose money or customer loyalty.
Accounting chaosMistakes result in kilograms of shortage or surplus of goods and distort the real picture during inventory.
Checkout queuesManual entry takes time. A slow checkout = lost customers who don't want to wait.
