If you sell products prices by weight, our Tower Systems POS software makes it easy for you to process sales and track inventory accurately.
From deli items to fresh meat to nuts and bolts to herbs and spices to lottery tickets there are many situations where products need their own price or weight.
Our Tower Systems Retailer POS software has supported price embedded barcodes for years and now we have expanded this with support for weight embedded barcodes. Together they give retailers a complete flexible way to sell variable items quickly and accurately.
This latest enhancement is a terrific win for local small business retailers keen to more accurately manage and track sales.
Why price embedded barcodes matter in everyday retail
Price embedded barcodes help you ensure a fast, smooth and accurate sales process. They are used widely in deli departments where items are weighed and labelled at the counter. They are also used by lottery companies for tickets where each ticket carries its own individual price based on what the customer has purchased.
In these price embedded barcode situations, the barcode includes the price of that item. When scanned at the counter our Retailer POS software identifies the correct product code and applies the exact price from the barcode. There is no manual entry and no chance of mistake. It keeps queues short and transactions clean. This long-standing capability continues to help retailers sell packaged variable price items with clarity and speed.
Weight embedded barcodes the new capability for true variable weight goods
Some retailers work with products that vary in weight but are sold using a retail price (per weight unit) set by the store. Wholesale meat is a perfect example. Spices are another example. A supplier may deliver trays of steaks or bulk packs of spices where each product has a different weight but the store still wants to apply its own per kilogram retail price. Produce packed by growers works the same way.
Weight embedded barcodes solve this smoothly. The barcode includes the item code and the weight of the specific unit. Our Tower Systems Retailer POS software reads the weight then multiplies it by the unit price in your stock file. You control the retail price per kilogram and Retailer handles the maths at the counter. This gives retailers the accuracy of scale based selling with the flexibility to set pricing that suits their business.
Weight embedded barcodes and price embedded barcodes help local small business retailers accurately manage what they sell and they enhance the shopper experience. This is smart technology developed for small business retailers, helping them compete efficiently.
