Instructional Video: Price Computing Scale - Price Display by ViệtPOS

A price computing and display scale is a specialized electronic device that combines two main functions: weighing products and automatically calculating prices. This device is equipped with advanced management functions to control costs, reduce labor expenses, and accelerate checkout speed at points of sale.

According to Việt POS's implementation experience in retail chains, supermarkets, and processing plants, price computing and display scales help reduce merchandise loss by 20-35% and increase checkout speed by 40-50% compared to traditional manual scales.

##What is a price computing and display scale and what is it used for?

A price computing and display scale is an electronic device that integrates accurate weighing (small division of 1-5g) and an automatic price display based on pre-programmed retail prices. This device is used to weigh products, calculate prices instantly, and print price labels or display them on a customer screen. Main applications: food retail, supermarkets, modern markets, processing plants, meat, fish, and vegetable stores.

Price computing and display scales differ from ordinary electronic scales in that they integrate built-in pricing logic and sales price management. The seller simply places the product on the scale, and the machine automatically displays the price and prints a label or sends data to the central POS system.

##Common types of price computing and display scales in Vietnam

The Vietnamese market for price computing and display scales currently has three main product lines, each suitable for different scales and needs:

These models are all officially distributed by Việt POS, supported with a 12-24 month warranty, and integrated directly with the Việt POS POS system.

##What are the main functions of a price computing and display scale?

A price computing and display scale is equipped with functions for accurate weighing, automatic pricing based on retail prices, printing price labels or displaying on a customer screen, remote price management, inventory control, sales data recording, integration with central POS systems, and real-time sales reporting.

• Accurate weighing: small division of 0.5-5g depending on the model, suitable for food products, agricultural produce, meat, and fish.
• Automatic pricing: enter the retail price (unit: VND/kg or VND/item), and the machine automatically calculates the price when weighed.
• Label printing or display: print price labels to stick on products or display prices on a customer screen to avoid disputes.
• Remote price management: update retail prices from the central POS system without needing to go to each scale.
• Inventory control: record the quantity of products sold, automatically update inventory in the system.
• Sales reporting: export real-time sales reports, analyze sales by product, and by shift.

##Benefits of price computing and display scales for retail businesses

Price computing and display scales help reduce labor costs by 20-35%, increase checkout speed by 40-50%, reduce merchandise loss by 15-25%, increase pricing accuracy to 99.5%, and improve customer experience. Businesses save 30-50 million VND/year at a scale of 5-10 points of sale.

• Increased accuracy: automatic pricing achieves 99.5% accuracy, avoiding disputes with customers.
• Improved customer experience: fast, transparent checkout, customers see prices before payment.

##How to choose the right price computing and display scale for your business

Choose a price computing and display scale based on three main criteria: sales volume (number of points of sale/day), product type (food, agricultural produce, meat, fish), and accuracy requirements (0.5g-5g). Small businesses choose ACS 268, supermarkets choose PR-PLUS, and processing plants choose ER-PLUS.

• Small sales volume (1-3 points, under 500 transactions/day): choose ACS 268, priced at 8-12 million VND, accuracy 1-5g.
• Medium sales volume (3-10 points, 500-2000 transactions/day): choose PR-PLUS or PR-P PLUS, priced at 12-18 million VND, accuracy 1-2g.
• Large sales volume (10+ points, over 2000 transactions/day): choose ER-PLUS, priced at 18-25 million VND, accuracy 0.5-1g.
• Fresh food product types (meat, fish, vegetables): prioritize high accuracy (0.5-1g), choose PR-PLUS or ER-PLUS.
• Dry agricultural product types (rice, beans, nuts): 1-5g accuracy is sufficient, choose ACS 268 or PR-PLUS.

##Integrating price computing and display scales with the Việt POS system
