Shoptalk is a conference for retailers about retailing, a place to discover what’s on the mind of retailers large and small. I attended conference sessions, one-on-one meetings organised by Shoptalk and a round table with 7 retailers talking tech.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) was the hot topic on stage and on the trade show floor.

From a retailer perspective, Shoptalk 2025 highlighted that rapid extensive change is here, standing still is not an option. Without explicitly saying it, the suppliers there, supported by so many speakers, urged change in retail from the ground up.

It is in this moment where we see opportunity for small business retail, and opportunity for us to encourage this.

Watching the revolution from the sidelines is not where you want to be.

In the context of the Tower verticals, the flexibility of our software helps retailers who want to play outside what has been traditional for their type of business. We are setup for helping them break through barriers.

Given the money being spent by tech businesses of the AI pitch, companies without such a pitch may find it challenging.

Tower Systems helps local small business retailers thrive by offering access to smart tech made for them, tech that helps them compete in this rapidly changing world.
