If you have the belief that every scale is the same, you are virtually saying the same thing as every automobile is the exact same or every smartphone is identical. The old expression you get what you pay for applies to anything, warehouse scales included. Therefore, making the decision to cut corners by paying less for a scale is often a grave mistake. Why? It is important to keep in mind that any successful warehouse must have control over the entire process of production and delivery, start to finish. But what happens when you take every necessary precaution, control every single step of the production process efficiently only to get to the point where you weigh and ship your product, and do so inaccurately.
The margin of error with scales is minute. An inaccurate scale will produce minor inaccurate readings yet over the course of weighing a few thousand products every day/week/month you are all of the sudden looking at one major loss of potential income. Consequently, every wise warehouse owner/manager understands that one of the major factors to running a smooth and profitable operation is dependent on the scale(s) which you use.
