How to Upgrade Your Grocery Store with PC-Based Retail Scales
What makes PC-based retail scales great? They can improve the efficiency and accuracy of any store.
Retail Scales in Modern Grocery Stores
Customer expectations in retail spaces have changed wildly as online shopping and fast alternatives to visiting in-store have grown. Technology makes convenience a priority, and grocers must optimize retail environments to keep customers visiting in person. A grocer’s retail equipment can make a grocery store efficient and appealing to customers.
Make Shopping Fast with PC-based Countertop Retail Scales
Operators need retail scales to weigh produce, deli products and seafood. Optimizing the weighing process keeps customers from waiting and ensures store operations are efficient. An easy solution is investing in a PC-based price computing scale.
These retail scales quickly weigh products and have simple, full-color graphic displays so operators and customers can see the weight and price of purchases. User-friendly interfaces make it easy for operators to adjust to a new scale. Some retail scales also have a video function so promotional content can engage customers.
Labels that Engage Consumers
PC-based retail scales also have advanced functions compared to simpler POS systems, and the added features can improve the overall packaging and weighing process. Many scales come with a label printer to improve product appeal with colorful labels. Grocers can use a variety of label formats and programming options to fit labels to a brand or store style. Depending on the scale, different built-in printers create labels at different sizes so stores can find the perfect scale and printer.
Streamline Data Entry
By connecting to the internet and linking to internal networks, retail scales can stay updated with new graphics or label designs. Price changes, discounts and any new product updates can be immediately reflected on every scale in the store. This keeps product information consistent across different scales and avoids communication issues between departments.

How to Select a New Retail Scale
When looking for retail equipment to facilitate store growth, ensure it improves efficiency, is easy for customers and operators to understand, and simplifies data entry. These elements impact a store’s efficiency, and to see the highest return on an investment, find a PC-based retail scale that includes functions such as label printing and network connection.
