Microsoft SQL

As your scale operation runs throughout the week, scale management software collects data as part of the scale ticketing process. SMSTurbo ticket information for each of your transactions is stored in a SQL database. This allows you to retrieve information about ticket history, run reports, and manage your data.

SMSTurbo can be setup with Microsoft SQL Express, which is the most cost-effective for small-scale operations with limited storage needs. The maximum database size with this option is 10 GB per database.

For additional storage, advanced analysis tools and better integration with external databases we recommend utilizing a full version of Microsoft SQL Server. We can help you implement advanced database tools as part of your scale management solution.
