Scale Management

Autoscale Max Scale Label PrinterRedefining Retail Scale Management Technology

Pricing accuracy between the scales and the point of sale is important in maintaining not only profit but also integrity and trust between the merchant and the client. Labeling accuracy can also be critical to passing regulatory guidelines. For that reason, Catapult Retail Software interfaces with dozens of scale solutions as well as their very own revolutionary AutoScale touch screen scale solution.

Autoscale Max with Vision Match AIAutoScale Max

Retail’s first unified scale solution has arrived. Designed around the simple concept of a friction-free transaction experience, the AutoScale Max is a leap forward into the future of retail. Embracing the efficiency of enterprise automation, it works seamlessly with every other transaction touchpoint in your store.

When AutoScale Maximus (Max for short) is connected to the Catapult Retail Software Suite, item programming and price updates made to the Catapult system update the AutoScales instantly. AutoScale can be thought of as another transactional touchpoint in Catapult POS. In other words, AutoScale IS Catapult POS. When you update prices in Catapult, these prices are automatically communicate to the AutoScale. No more waiting for product information in batch files. No more waiting for two systems to synchronize. No more headaches for your customers. When you upgrade to the future of retail scale technology, it works seamlessly with the point of sale.

3rd Party Scale Management Integration

Already have existing scales? No problem. Catapult also offers an API option with popular 3rd party scale management software to interface non-Catapult scale brands such as Ishida with grocery and deli scales to streamline weighed foods management. This scale management technology enables accurate pricing, margin control, easy promotion maintenance, and simplifies management of fresh food items in grocery stores.

Catapult’s 3rd Party scale integration provides streamlined grocery and deli item PLU programming and price management. Item updates are entered into Catapult and automatically sent to all store scales through the 3rd party interface once they become effective. For multi-store enterprise customers Catapult’s multi-store synchronization works perfectly with scale management in order to keep all scale programming in the chain up to date and accurate. This technology enables the user to make only one price update in the Catapult point of sale (POS) instead of manually changing items and prices at both the POS and/or scale management system(s) separately. This saves countless hours in tedious labor and ensures a higher level of price accuracy between the POS and fresh food scales.

Because Catapult’s scale management suite works with many popular scale brands, the retailer has flexibility in scale product choice ensuring the scale manufacturer chosen fits both cost and functionality requirements for specific enterprise needs.
