Weighing scale software for business - on the scale you already have
Shops, food producers, bakeries, kitchens, bars, roasters and workshops weigh all day - and type the numbers into other programs.

No new scale, no cloud, no monthly fee needed.
In short
UP↑SCALE is weighing scale software in the browser for the scale a business already has - RS-232 scales through an adapter board (under 15 EUR), also verified, legal-for-trade scales that it only listens to, and USB or Bluetooth scales directly. One app does 35+ jobs: counting, check-weighing with Cp/Cpk, ℮ and NIST HB 133 package checks, fill weighing, sorting, labels with EAN-13, stock by weight, a sales log with profit, recipes with costs, up to 6 scales and many phones, machine control. FREE to start; PRO from 4.43 EUR a month or 119.90 EUR once.

Weighing scale software for business: questions and answers
Is there weighing scale software without a subscription?
Yes. UP↑SCALE has a FREE version with no time limit, and PRO and ENTERPRISE & COMPLIANCE can be bought once, for ever (PRO 119.90 EUR) - or by the month or year if you prefer. Your data stays on your scale, not in a cloud.
Is there free weighing scale software to download?
UP↑SCALE needs no download: the app runs in Chrome, Edge or Opera and can be installed to the desktop or home screen, and it also runs as one offline file. The FREE version has no time limit. With an RS-232 scale you need the adapter board (under 15 EUR); the firmware installs from the browser.
How do I connect an RS-232 scale to a tablet or phone?
Plug the ESP32-C3 RS232 Adapter with the UP↑SCALE firmware into the RS-232 port of the scale: it sends the weight over Bluetooth to the app on phones, tablets and computers - several at once. Presets for METTLER TOLEDO, KERN, OHAUS, A&D, ADAM, SARTORIUS, RADWAG, SHIMADZU, CAS, DINI ARGEO, RICE LAKE and more, plus auto-detect.
Is UP↑SCALE POS scale software?
It is the weighing part of it: a sales display, BOOK NOW, a sales log with revenue, costs and profit, stock by weight and price labels with EAN-13 for your checkout. It is no cash register. At the counter the legal weight and price come from your verified scale system - the app is no verified display.
Can I use it with my verified, legal-for-trade scale?
Yes. The adapter only listens (LISTEN ONLY) and shows the exact weight of your scale (EXACT WEIGHT), so the scale display stays the legal reading. Your scale gets ℮ checks, statistics, labels and the sales log on top. What is legal.
How many scales and users can work together?
Up to 6 scales in one program, and many phones, tablets and PCs on the same scale at once - the whole team on the same numbers. With ENTERPRISE & COMPLIANCE every user logs in with a role.
Can I get the weights into Excel?
Yes: the weighing log, the statistics and the sales log export as CSV files for Excel, LibreOffice and Google Sheets (PRO), and the app can forward weights as JSON to a server in your own network.
