POS Scale Integration For Grocers, Supermarkets, Minimarts

 

Aralco POS for grocery business has RS232c interface options to connect directly to most scale models perfect for grocery stores, supermarkets, and minimarts where customers who can pick up any amount of weight-based produce she or he needs that can be weighed later, conveniently at the POS checkouts.

 

Scale Integration with Aralco POS

 

Grocers can now integrate Aralco POS with scale brand/model of their choice to suit their counter space and budget such as Mettler Toledo, KiloTech, Caszero, Magellan, and Ohaus Adventurer.

POS TABLE-TOP WEIGHING SCALES

The cashier simply places the produce or any weight-based product on the scale's pan or platter, select the SKU on the POS or scan the barcode if available to have the weight value transferred to Aralco POS for price calculation.

 

 

Clear Display Options at the POS

 

Customers can see the weighing of the item clearly with the weight indication and pricing on the customer-facing monitor, customer pole display, and on the printed POS receipt upon payment.

 

 

 

SCALE PRINTER OPTIONS

 

Barcode label generated by scale printers

Aralco has a ready interface for any scale printer with an Ethernet or LAN port for the on-demand importing of PLUs from Aralco Back Office System.
