How to speed up the accounting software?

This guide will help you find the main reasons for Torgsoft slowdowns and perform basic steps to speed it up: checking SQL database maintenance, program settings, server hardware resources, and network connection stability.

How to speed up Torgsoft

Follow the steps sequentially: first, check the database maintenance and program settings, and only then proceed to the hardware and network.

Step 1. Check database maintenance

This is the most common cause of a slowdown.

Update indexes and statistics

Path: file → service → restore and reorganize indexes and update statistics.

This operation optimizes the data structure and speeds up search and form opening.

Close the maximum number of possible periods

Path: analysis → period → close the maximum number of possible periods.

Before clearing old statistics, you must first close the maximum number of periods.

Delete statistics of closed periods

Path: analysis → period → delete statistics of closed periods.

Check the database size

For SQL Express, the problem may start even before reaching the 10 GB limit. If the database already occupies approximately 4–5 GB or more, this can affect performance.

In such a situation, you should:

Step 2. Optimize Torgsoft settings

Enable the static method for calculating costs and balances

Path: settings → parameters → warehouse → method for calculating costs and balances.

Select the "Static" method. This reduces the load on the system during the movement of goods.

Check the settings for selling below cost control

This setting is defined for a specific user in the user card, not through the general access section.

If you use such a check, do not leave a mode that forces the system to perform unnecessary checks every time without a real need.

Enable simplified mode in the "Clients" form

For weak PCs or large databases, this can have a significant effect.

In the "Clients" form, enable "Simplified mode". This reduces the load when opening the form and working with the client list.

Step 3. Check the server and work environment

Restart the server regularly

If the server has been running for a long time without a restart, this can affect the overall state of the system.

It is recommended to set up a server restart 2-3 times a week during non-working hours, provided it does not contradict your workflow.

Check the disk

For a database, an SSD is critically important. If the database is hosted on an HDD, this is one of the most typical reasons for slow performance.

Switching from HDD to SSD usually provides the most noticeable speed boost.

Check RAM

It is desirable for the server to have at least 8 GB of RAM, and more for a large database or multiple workstations.

If memory is constantly occupied almost completely, the system will start working slower.

Check network stability

For cash registers and other critical workstations, an Ethernet connection is recommended.

Wi-Fi itself is not an issue, but the quality and stability of the network are crucial. If the connection is unstable, it can also create the feeling of a "slow program".

How to check the result

After performing the steps, check the operation in the specific scenarios where the problem occurred:

Evaluate the result not by an abstract universal standard in seconds, but compared to how the program worked before optimization. In large databases, certain forms may take longer to open than in small ones.

How to prevent future slowdowns

What is important to remember

If Torgsoft works slowly, start with database maintenance: update indexes and statistics, check closed periods, and monitor the database size. Next, check the program settings, disk, memory, and network stability. In most cases, these actions yield a noticeable result without needing to replace the entire infrastructure.
