Mettler Toledo bCom Scale Compatibility with Clover POS
Fully supported with CSI Works apps—barcode format determines which app to use
Question
A small market recently installed the Mettler Toledo bCom scale to weigh items like vegetables and deli meats. They plan to print barcode labels and scan them at the Clover POS register to streamline checkout. The question is: does the bCom scale work with Clover, and what app should be used if they’re unsure whether the barcode includes price or weight?
Answer
Yes—the Mettler Toledo bCom scale is compatible with Clover POS when paired with either CSI Works’ Variable Price Barcode Parser or Weight Embedded Barcode Parser.
The key is knowing how your scale is set up to print barcodes. The bCom can be configured to embed either the total price or the total weight into the barcode. Once you confirm the format, simply choose the matching app.
The bCom is a compact, retail-grade label printing scale designed for front-of-house environments. It supports programmable PLUs and customizable barcode formats.
Model | Barcode Capable | Label Printing | Display Type |
---|---|---|---|
bCom | Yes | Yes | Dual display |
Barcode Format | Use This CSI Works App |
---|---|
Barcode contains total price | Variable Price Barcode Parser |
Barcode contains total weight | Weight Embedded Barcode Parser |
Here’s how to find out:
Print a test label from your bCom scale
Look at the barcode—does it contain the price or weight?
Still unsure? Send us a picture of the label, and we’ll identify it for you
For a successful integration:
Set the item in Clover Inventory as Variable Price Type
Use the Product Code field (not SKU) to match the PLU number used in the scale
Install the CSI Works parser app that matches your barcode format
Once configured, scanning the label will automatically populate the correct product and amount in Clover.
