Retail store automation

Why does a business owner apply for automation?
The entrepreneur needs a program for a retail store that will take over part of his work, and at the same time will control employees and report on what is happening in the store at the right time.

 
Retail automation is the delegation of manual routine work to a program. You set up the process once, and then the program performs the tasks and takes into account the nuances of your business.
 
Simple examples:

No automation:
 The seller writes the sold goods in a notebook;
 It takes several hours or days to re-evaluate the goods manually;
 After revaluation, the seller pastes price tags, manually writes the price of the goods with a marker.
 No one knows the exact quantity of goods in the warehouse: how much to order is estimated intuitively.

There is automation:
 Automatic registration of sales in the accounting program;
 The program will revalue the entire product or the desired type of product in a minute;
 The program will send all the overpriced goods to the label printer - price tags with the name of the product, price and barcode will be printed.
 All goods are accounted for in the program, the current state of the warehouse can be viewed at any time, and the order of goods can be predicted.

The retail store automation program will not miss a sale, and the price tag will have the correct price. The seller will not forget to scan the product, calculate the buyer correctly, will not deceive the customer and will not make a mistake himself.

What is needed for trade automation

A trade automation program is needed for warehouse and financial accounting, work with clients, control of sellers, analysis of trade results, and 100+ other functions.
Which program to choose?

If you don't know where to start accounting, then the Torgsoft product accounting program, barcode scanner, check and label printer is enough to start with. Such automation will cost an average of ~14,000 UAH per workplace.

Why do you need retail store automation

• Why does an entrepreneur need a program and all this commercial equipment?
• Will the costs pay off: is automation an expense or an investment?

Automation is:

Accounting

 
Accounting is the main function of the program for retail stores.
The store needs to keep track of sales and returns, settlements with suppliers and employees.
Torgsoft takes into account all financial transactions: what was spent where, what is the profit on the results of trade. The program keeps records of goods and warehouse stocks, works with the assortment and analyzes the stale goods. Distributes the goods to points of sale.

Accounting will allow you to predict future expenses and plan purchases.

Control

Control is the second reason why entrepreneurs decide to automate.
Trade is a constant work with people. And people, as you know, are different.
 
Torgsoft records all the actions of employees: editing or deleting documents, deleting positions, entering data retroactively. The accounting program is needed to prevent fraud, or to record abuses if the employee turned out to be dishonest.
 
Torgsoft controls the accuracy of mutual settlements, price compliance, the use of discounts, the availability of goods in the warehouse in the right quantity, the sale of fiscal goods through a registrar or software ECR.
 
Management accounting will answer where and how much money was spent, whether the accountant paid taxes, how much is left to the gross income limit.
 
Control reduces the number of human errors, prevents rash actions.

Security

 
People are not inclined to take something that is reliably protected. If sellers know that accounting strictly protects goods, money, and information, then in most cases they will not cheat.
 
Security is not the illusion of instructive rules, not a dummy of video cameras, but real actions to restrict employee access to sensitive information: finances, databases with customers and suppliers. Security means regular spot checks and conscious prohibitions.

• Removing statistics of closed periods
• Data Security: Archive in the Cloud
• Commerce Hybrid: selling goods without the Internet for a remote server
• Verification of a discount card via SMS
• Automatic registration of information changes

Delegation

When everything is taken into account, under control, and a sense of security is created, it is necessary to delegate routine tasks that take up the business owner's time. The commodity expert should be entrusted with the re-accounting, the senior salesperson with the receipt of goods, the accountant with the reporting, and the manager with the management of the online store, marketplaces, and the shipment of goods by postal services.

Savings

Torgsoft is an assistant. The program for retail calculates everything automatically. Accordingly, the number of tasks that employees perform manually is reduced, the need to inflate the staff is reduced.
The less monotonous work, the more satisfied the staff is, the lower the staff turnover.  
Time is freed up and you can look at the business from the outside: where does the profit go and where can you save? You can analyze business expenses and make sure they are reasonable. Or vice versa, you can find out that one of the business areas does not receive the necessary funding. For example, instead of 10% of the profit, only 3% is allocated for advertising and marketing.

Efficiency

Customers don't like to wait for a salesperson to write down all their purchases in a notebook. During the sales season, this is especially true: the buyer sees whether the store has a program, how quickly the seller serves, or whether they have to stand in line. Based on this, they make a decision to buy in this store or pass by.
The accounting system and scanner speed up the work of employees and the sale of goods: 1 product = 1 second.

Analysis and forecasting

With the accounting program, an entrepreneur can check the performance of sellers, predict purchases, and summarize when it is convenient.
Do you want to work leisurely at 10 o'clock in the evening, when everyone is resting at home, but the store administrator is no longer available? Round-the-clock reporting by Torgsoft is at the disposal of the business owner.

Freedom

Everyone has their own understanding of freedom. The ability not to go to the office or shop but to work from home in bad weather is one of the elements of freedom. Going on vacation not for 7 days with your phone in your hand, but for a month without fuss, delegating work and knowing that everything is under control is also an element of freedom.

Automation is freedom. Freedom is not postponed for tomorrow.
