Software for newsagents built on newsagency experience.
When we wrestle building our newsagency software and as we evolved it over decades we owned and ran newsagency businesses. This unique situation played a key role in our position today serving more newsagents than all other software companies combined. Our own shops were test beds for us, and for newsagency suppliers.
Made and supported in Australia.
The Tower Systems newsagency software is made in Australia, and supported in Australia.
Price is not a value differentiator when it comes to software for newsagents.
Pitching software to newsagents on price is likely a cover for weakness or inferiority in our opinion. Better facilities that help a business achieve more, make more money and evolve faster can add way more bottom line value than software that is cheaper in terms of the rental or purchase cost.
Average software that is half (or less) the price of far more capable software can cost much more than software that helps the retailer make more money from good decisions and fewer mistakes.
AI is a big factor in newsagency software today.
AI is a game changer for newsagents keen to evolve their businesses to be more attractive and successful in a rapidly changing newsagency landscape. From the everyday like quickly importing just about any supplier invoice to providing actionable insights from any report through to the strategic like eliminating manual steps from in-store workflow to reduce out of stocks and driving a better bottom line.
We’re not sure if Access POS has AI tools embedded in their software. If you’d like we’d be grateful to do a side by side comparison with Access POS so you can see for yourself which better serves your specific needs.
The newsagency of the future is future-forward POS software.
Now all newsagency software is the same. In fact, software products for Aussie newsagents are very different from each other.
