First up let’s note that CirclePOS is software loved by plenty of bookshop owners and staff. Our Tower Systems software is also loved by plenty of retailers, including bookshop owners and staff.
Our software is an alternative to CirclePOS, something a CirclePOS software customer could consider if they have decided to look around.
Here are reasons why we think our POS software for bookshops is a viable alternative to CirclePOS.
You have 100% control over your data.
With our Tower Systems bookshop software, you are in control of your data. There is no community dataset, no opportunity for others to control how you describe a product. We have bookshop owners and staff who love this as they can put their own spin on describing a book.
In creating the data, you can easily import supplier invoices as well as pull in data from TitlePage and elsewhere.
One dataset if you have multiple shops.
If you have more than one shop, they share a common inventory dataset. There is no need for separate instances. You can easily transfer products and you can get a whole of business performance perspective.
In the internet is down, no worries.
You can run our software 100% in the cloud or on your desktop. You choose what’s best for you, and you can change over at any time. This allows you to configure the business should be somewhere the internet is patchy.
Pay for the software, not based on your transactions.
We have priced our POS software fairly. We done;t think it’s right for us to charge based on what you sell. If you grow the business, which we hope you do, you keep the rewards of that growth.
Have a say in software enhancements.
Our transparent Software Ideas platform makes it easy for any of our customers to suggest and vote on enhancements. It’s truly unique and has helped us discover some wonderful software enhancements over the years.
Awesome loyalty tools.
We could see people were tiring of points type loyalty programs 15 years ago so we crated alternatives in our software while maintaining support for points. Today, we have a loyalty offer shoppers understand and love. It absolutely helps drive retail success – bringing shoppers back more often and getting them buying more in a visit. It’s easy to create and changes to settings are immediate.
Connect to the tools you already use.
Our software is built to be the hub of your business, not a closed box. We offer deep, two-way integrations with leading e-commerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce, ensuring your in-store and online stock levels are always in sync. This single view of inventory prevents overselling and saves hours of admin. Beyond your website, we also connect directly with accounting software, like Xero, streamlining bookkeeping and saving time.
