How Useful is Integration Between Your POS System & Weighing Scale

Businesses often look for ways to boost efficiency while cutting costs. More often than not, it leads to adopting of productivity boosting solutions such as modern cloud POS systems. In order to achieve the best productivity, integration between solutions and individual digital tools is essential. 

Often, POS systems are the center of operation for businesses that operate with a shopfront. Hence, POS system integration capability is an important aspect to consider when getting one. 

In this article, we will be touching on POS systems and weighing scale integration. What is it, the benefits, and which business types it is suitable for? 

The use of weighing scales in businesses

Though one of the first business types that comes to mind where weighing scales are used to bill customers is in grocery stores, it is also a common practice in restaurants that sell live seafood to bill customers by weight. Ma La restaurants have taken up the practice of billing by weight as well.

Why should you integrate your weighing scale with your POS system?

Faster, accurate and consistent billing

Through this integration, your POS system will automatically calculate the bill amount according to your presets once the items are weighed. This will improve your billing accuracy and speed, allowing you to move your queue faster which leads to more revenue.

Moreover, relying solely on staff’s mathematical skills to bill your customers based on weight may result in under or over charging your customers resulting in inconsistent prices.

Safeguard your revenue

There may be times when your staff are too overwhelmed with orders that they simply round down for easier calculation, or they may undercharge regular customers without clearing it with your managers, resulting in a loss of revenue.

By integrating your digital weighing scale with your POS system, the bill is calculated automatically and will reflect on the customer display and POS system. Without an admin passcode, your cashiers are unable to manually edit prices, adding a layer of security to help safeguard your revenue.
