Scale integration

Sell cheese, vegetables or meat by weight: customers place the goods on the scale, tap the product and take the printed label. At the kiosk they scan the label like any other item.

At the scale

How your customers weigh

Four steps, no staff. Nobody has to explain anything – the screen guides through it.

  1. 1

    Place the goods

    As soon as the weight is stable, the screen shows all scale products – alphabetical, with image and price per kg.

  2. 2

    Tap the product

    The price follows from weight and price per kg. Customers deduct their own container with “Set as packaging”.

  3. 3

    Take the label

    The scale prints a label with product, weight, price per kg, price and QR code.

  4. 4

    Scan at the kiosk

    The kiosk reads the price from the label. Everything is paid together – by card, TWINT or however the shop is set up.

In the dashboard

Set-up: two switches, one price per kg

The scale uses the same catalogue as the scanner and manual selection. These images are taken straight from the cloud dashboard.

  1. 1

    Mark the product for the scale

    On the product, switch on “Show product on scale” and enter the price per kg as the price. The barcode is a template with room for the price (e.g. 2200000PPPPP) – the scale fills it in when printing.

  2. 2

    Design the scale screen

    In the store’s kiosk settings you decide whether the scale shows product images. For the start screen you upload your own background image.

Good to know

Which shops the scale suits

The scale complements the kiosk wherever goods are sold without a fixed unit price: village shops with vegetables and fruit, company shops of cheese dairies and butchers, or specialty stores with loose goods. Customers keep scanning unit goods at the kiosk and pick items without a barcode there by image.

FAQ

What does the scale cost?

We agree on the scale with you, plus the add-on at CHF 49.– per month and store.

Does the scale replace the scanner?

No, it complements it. Customers scan unit goods at the kiosk, weigh fresh goods on the scale and pick items without a barcode at the kiosk through manual selection.

Do weighed goods go straight into the basket?

No. The scale is a separate station and prints a label. Only when the customer scans the label at the kiosk does the item join the purchase with weight and price.

What about packaging or a customer’s own container?

Place the empty container and tap “Set as packaging” – its weight is then deducted.

Which products does the scale show?

All products with “Show product on scale” switched on, sorted alphabetically and with an image if you like.
