The end-of-the-year push can get hectic—from an influx of last-minute orders, to reporting final numbers for the year. Managing these tasks is simple with the right technology to accompany your vehicle scale.

An influx of business at the end of the year is standard for many businesses. Customers feel the need to use their remaining budget before it is reset at the beginning of the new year. While increased business is no cause for complaint, it can make for a hectic couple of months during a time many of us would like to be at home with family and friends. Thankfully, there are ways to streamline your operation by efficiently tracking inventory and reporting while maximizing your profit potential.
For many operations, the on-site truck scale acts as a cash register over which goods are bought and sold. During peak operation months, errors in accuracy can be even more detrimental. Even if your scale is certified legal for trade, that does not mean it is truly accurate. These laws allow for a certain degree of error that can drastically affect your year-end results. To ensure you are getting the most accurate weight reading with every weighment, invest in the most respected load cells in the industry: POWERCELL® PDX® load cells.
2. Benefit of unattended systems
During your busy season, it can be hard to walk away until every customer has been helped, but that can mean staffing scale houses overnight and paying for expensive overtime. Unattended scale stations allow your business to operate around the clock, without the need for a scale-house attendant. That will allow your operation to complete more transactions, and boost end-of-year results.
3. Software to track your profits
Adding vehicle-scale software to your operation can be a tremendous help year-round, and especially at the end of the year. For quick order processing and unique reporting functions, DataBridge™ software provides a secure database for your business to pull from. The days of hand-written tickets, manual data entry and the occasional lost transaction are in the past when you upgrade to data management software.
