Where is the best place I can get a frozen yogurt scale calibration tool?

Here at Sintel Systems we are dedicated to providing support on hardware, software, and other services such as helping you keep your business operating at a high efficiency. One way to maintain a superior level of up time in frozen yogurt shops is to have your own Scale Calibration Tool available.  Scales need calibration every 12-18 months depending on their usage, some more frequently used scales can sometimes need calibration as frequently as every 3 months. Owning your own scale calibration tool will allow you to calibrate your unit whenever the need arises.

A single call to a local scale calibration service costs between $135-$160 for a visit. These weights literally pay for themselves after the first calibration! Avoid the hassle of waiting for a technician to come to your business and re-calibrate your scale yourself within minutes using this Scale Calibration Weight. You also eliminate any downtime you may have originally encountered just by having one of these calibration tools available to your frozen yogurt locations whenever the need arises.

Sintel System is the leader in Point of Sale and Surveillance. We specialize in business automation and help mom and pop shops to become modern companies driven by technology. Unfortunately most business models do not account for Point of Sale and Surveillance until the project has been completed. This makes installation difficult and ugly since wiring can not be hidden in walls.

When should you purchase your POS and Surveillance Systems?
Although POS and Surveillance are installed once the dust has settled from all the construction, it is still important to plan your POS and Surveillance systems in advanced. In order to have a proper functioning POS System, it is important to have the following two requirements:

1. Dedicated Power Circuit
2. Internet or Network Connection
