WHY UP↑SCALE › FOR WHOM? › SHOPS, MARKET STALLS & FARM SHOPS

The scale for shops, market stalls and farm shops

Cheese, olives, nuts, coffee beans, sweets, spices or loose goods in a zero-waste shop: you weigh, price, label and sell - and at the end of the day you want to know what went out. With UP↑SCALE that is one step, on the scale you already have.

What helps you most

1A sales display: weight and price, big TEST IN FREEPRO

The sales mode turns your phone or tablet into a clean sales display: the weight big, the price highlighted, everything else hidden. Pick the product from the list, from the tiles of your last 12 products, or scan its QR code. BOOK NOW, confirm - and the sale is in the log, the stock and the sales report. You can change the price of a single sale (a discount, a sample for free).

Your customers can't see the scale? A second screen can be the display that faces them - the app runs on as many devices as you like, all showing the same weight.

2Price labels for every piece

Weigh, click PRINT, stick it on: the label shows the product, the net weight, the price per kg and the total price, the best-before date, your logo - and an EAN-13 barcode with the price or the weight, so your checkout scanner reads it. Printed straight to your label printer, with no driver. PRO (label printer)

3The sales log: revenue, costs and profit per product TEST IN FREEPRO

Every booking is added up on the scale: the daily report shows pieces, weight, revenue, costs, profit and margin per product, per day or per user, for today, this month or any range. 366 days are kept, the scale warns before its memory gets full. The scale checks each sale against its own stable weight and numbers it, so a changed or deleted sale shows up.

For your accountant (ENTERPRISE): CSV or a ledger layout - and the sealed report with gross, tare, net and unit price of every sale. ENTERPRISE

4Stock by weight - and what got lost

Your sacks, tubs and jars in the inventory: weigh them from time to time, and the app compares what is left with what was sold. Crumbs, samples, mistakes and "evaporated" goods show up as the loss. 5 items are free, more with PRO.

5Your products on the scale

Save every product once as a THING: name, price per kg, costs, lot number, container weight, nutrition values. Print its QR code label for the shelf or the jar - a scan loads it with all its values. The products live on the scale, so every phone at the counter has them.

6The whole team, one scale

Several phones and tablets connect to the same scale at the same time, and every sale knows who booked it. With ENTERPRISE every user logs in, and only an ADMIN may delete sales or change the settings. ENTERPRISE (users)

Tips from the practice

  • Market stall without power? The adapter runs from a USB power bank, the app from your phone - no internet needed, it all works offline.
  • Give your products a "Costs" unit (the purchase price per g): the sales report then shows your profit and margin, not only the revenue.
  • Pre-packed bags: in the confirmation of a sale you may type the weight in by hand - it is marked as manual in the record.
  • Sell from the jar: with the take-away mode the scale shows what you take out, not what is left.

The rules you should know

  • Selling by weight needs a verified scale (NAWI directive 2014/31/EU, OIML R 76) - the price the customer pays comes from the legal reading. See verified trade scales.
  • Price labels and receipts in trade are legally relevant: ask your verification office (in Germany the Eichamt) which setup is allowed - the usual way for PC software is a scale with an alibi memory.
  • Cash register: the sales log is your own record, not a certified or fiscal cash register. Your cash register stays for the payment - check the rules of your country for receipts and bookkeeping.

UP↑SCALE helps you to weigh, label and keep records - it is no legal advice. All on one page: LEGAL FOR TRADE in the manual.
