In grocery retail, the data generated at the scale is often overlooked — yet it holds the key to powerful operational insights.
Every time a label is printed in departments like deli, meat, seafood, or bakery, the scale captures a record known as a labeling total. This data includes:
- The scale where the label was printed
- PLU or UPC number of the item
- Department number
- Date and time of printing
- Store location
- Total weight, pack count, and retail value
- Optional operator ID for traceability
Turning Production Data Into Operational Insight
Labeling totals are more than just records — they are a source of actionable intelligence. Retailers can use this data to:
- Identify what is being produced in each department and store
- Feed perpetual inventory systems with real-time production data
- Compare scale-side production against point-of-sale transactions
At Focus Digital Solutions, our software gives retailers complete control over how and when this data is retrieved. Whether you need real-time visibility or scheduled reporting, we make it easy to connect your front-line production data to your back-office systems.
Seamless Integration with Enterprise Systems
Labeling totals can be exported and integrated into:
- Inventory management systems
- Reporting dashboards
- Enterprise analytics platforms
This enables end-to-end traceability, smarter planning, and greater accountability across your fresh departments.
