Weighing Scales for Retail Shops and Supermarkets

At a shop counter, the scale is the most-watched thing in the store. Customers read the display, the Legal Metrology inspector checks the stamp, and the cashier needs the price worked out before the queue gets restless. Behind the counter it matters just as much: stock received short from a supplier is money gone before the shelf is even filled.

Hindustan Scale Company (HSCo), Mumbai, has made weighing scales since 1955. For supermarkets, kirana stores, fruit and vegetable counters, fish and meat shops and quick-commerce dark stores we supply price computing scales, barcode label printing scales, counter scales with a display facing the customer, waterproof scales for wet counters, hanging scales, and platform and pallet scales for the back room. Big Bazaar, Future Group, Zepto and Wonderchef are among the retail businesses that use our scales. Tell us what you sell and how you bill, and we’ll pick the scale for your counter.

Where a store weighs, and with what

• Fruit and vegetable counters – price computing scales that show weight, rate and total to the customer.
• Pre-packing – barcode label printing scales that weigh, price and label each pack for the shelf.
• Fish, meat and poultry – waterproof stainless price computing scales that survive being washed down.
• Billing counters – scales that print a receipt or send the weight to the billing software.
• Receiving and back room – platform scales, hanging scales and pallet scales to check what suppliers delivered.
• Daily checks – M2 test weights so staff can check each counter scale every morning.

Tell us the problem, we’ll name the scale
