[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## **Alliance Scale Offers a Variety of Solutions for Your Business Needs** What do you think of when you hear the word “accuracy?” Do you think of facts and figures in the news? Do you think of weight and the amount of something you’re purchasing in an effort to make sure you’re getting a fair deal? Whatever the context, “accuracy” implies reliability. If weighing and measuring falls into your business in some way, whether it’s putting together shipments of products, ensuring your ![Accuracy Leads to Better Business](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/hs-fs/hubfs/calibration.jpg?width=300&name=calibration.jpg)product meets state regulations, or ensuring the chemical components of something during manufacturing, you want your business to be known as reliable and accurate. **Accuracy** [Analytical balances](https://www.alliancescale.com/product-category/laboratory-solutions/analytical-balances/) are available for laboratory work and research where a sophisticated level of accuracy is required, meaning down to a 10th of a milligram or finer. If moisture levels are a question in your lab work or research, our powerful [moisture balances](https://www.alliancescale.com/product-category/laboratory-solutions/moisture-balances/) make measuring moisture content easy with a number of different models, such as: - Simple set-up - Uniform, quick-dry samples - Storage for up to 100 methods - Quick and accurate recall for up to 1,000 statistical analytics - Touchscreen displays - Easy cleaning - Many more features perfect for your unique needs **Save Money by Saving Time** When large quantities are measured on the manufacturing floor, the kind of industrial scale you equip your team with can make all the different in efficiency during your process. Check out our [case study](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/industrial-scale-case-study) where we worked with a customer to analyze just how much their industrial scale had an impact on their business—and provided a repeatable, easy solution. **Compliance** Some industries have certain requirements when it comes to your weighing equipment, so it’s important to use reliable products with a reliable service team. Since cannabis is sold in quantities based on weight and is highly regulated regardless of which state a dispensary is located, stringent regulations are placed on equipment within the industry, including the scales used, to ensure proper accuracy. Dispensaries are required to use only “legal for trade” scales certified by the National Conference of Weights and Measures (NTEP). The certification process through NTEP can take months, as they rigorously test scales for both accuracy and reliability. Scales must also be classified as a “class II balance” and scales must be accurate to 0.01 grams. The final stipulation is that all states require dispensaries to certify their scales before use, either by servicing from state representatives or a certified local scale company. Additionally, the scales must be maintained and serviced at least once a year. It’s important to check with your [state’s specific local requirements](http://www.ncwm.net/resource/state-directors) to remain in compliance.  We have dozens of [NTEP certified class II balance scales](https://www.alliancescale.com/product-category/legal-cannabis-weighing-solutions/legal-for-trade-dispensary-scales/) that are accurate up to 0.01 grams. **Getting Your Scales Through Alliance Scale** **Warrantied Parts Are Always Included** When you order from Alliance Scale, you are backed by our promise that we will include any warrantied parts that go along with the weighing system you’ve purchased. We provide 100% transparency on what will be included in your order and what isn’t. **We Can Calibrate Your Scales Before Use** When you purchase from Alliance Scale, you are also purchasing from one of the top scale service and repair centers in New England. We can properly install your scale at your site, and also send our team to [calibrate your equipment](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/key-components-of-a-good-scale-calibration-service) before you put it into use. All our testing equipment is traceable to NIST and is in compliance with the latest regulatory standards. You also have access to, at no extra charge, a fully downloadable library of calibration certificates and calibration reports for your compliance requirements. **We Provide Service Support After Purchase** Keep in mind scale calibration and servicing shouldn’t be a one-time engagement; your scales should be [regularly calibrated](https://marketing.alliancescale.com/blog/scale-calibration-frequency) to ensure their accuracy over time. Luckily for you, our state-licensed service team will always be available to you, ready at a moment’s notice to test, repair, and ensure your scales are fit for accurate measurement. We provide [on-site service](https://www.alliancescale.com/coverage-area/) in the states of ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY. Don’t worry, if you don’t reside in one of those states, you can rely on our depot services. Just give us a call and we will provide you the details on how to ship your equipment to us for repair and/or inspection.  **We Can Price Match** If you find a better price online for one of the products we carry, email us a link to the product page, and we can match it if within reason.
