Discover the Game-Changing Features on DIGI Scales for Retail Solutions’ Clients
Retail Solutions and DIGI are two established leaders in retail technology in Ireland. Retail Solutions provide EPoS and the associated hardware, and DIGI has been inventing Scales since 1925 – more than 100 years. Having worked together on many projects and integrations over the years, across Scales and Electronic Shelf Labels, their collaboration is making a huge difference to their shared clients.
For example, an innovative feature called Scale to Sale is available on DIGI Scales for clients of Retail Solutions. This feature allows the Scale operator to add multiple products to a single label, with just one barcode to be scanned at the point of sale. When that label is scanned at the till, you still see the individual items listed, for full visibility on your receipts and sales reports.
It sounds simple, and it is simple to use, but the benefits of Scale to Sale are many. Bottom line, it will save you money. If you operate a deli or butcher counter, this is a feature that could make your life easier and more profitable.
Reduce Theft
Unfortunately, the issue of over-the-counter food theft is a growing concern for retailers. The Scale to Sale feature can help, as it means one label whether a single product or multiple products are sold. This stops thieves discarding some of the labels on the way to the till. For example, a shopper buys a few breakfast items: 2 rashers, 2 puddings, 3 hashbrowns. Without Scale to Sale, this would mean three barcode labels, one for each product type. Some opportunistic shoppers remove two of those labels before checking out at the till, only paying for the cheapest item and resulting in a sizeable loss for the store over time.
Plus, along with the ‘Unfinished Qbuster/ Deli transaction’ EPoS report, it is easy to identify any labels that were printed but not scanned at the till. This can be crosschecked CCTV footage to identify what happened and prevent it in future.
Reduce Waste
DIGI Scales use Linerless Labels, which not only reduce costly trips to the landfill, but save you time and money in many other ways as well. Plus, multiple products on one label means you’re using a lot less self-adhesive labels. As well as benefiting the environment, reducing your waste is more time and cost efficient.
