Running a local independent art supply shop involves managing a diverse and often complex inventory. From individual pencils and high-end brushes to large canvases and delicate papers, the range of products requires a system that understands the specific needs of creative retail. At Tower Systems, we develop specialist POS software designed for small, independent art retailers. Our goal is to provide tools that simplify your daily operations and help your business grow.
Streamline your art shop inventory management
Our software includes robust stock management features that allow you to track every item with precision, regardless of whether you can put a barcode on everything you sell. You can easily manage products by brand, medium, or artist grade. This level of detail helps you maintain accurate stock levels and ensures that your customers can always find the specific materials they need for their projects. It also assists in identifying which niche items are your best performers, preventing capital from being tied up in slow-moving stock.
Automate custom art kits and bundles
Creating curated sets for beginners or specific workshops is a great way to add value to your local community. Our software supports the creation of these custom kits and bundles with ease. If you combine various paints, brushes, and a sketchbook to create a starter set, the system automatically deducts each individual component from your inventory the moment the kit is sold. This automation helps you offer unique value to your customers and facilitates smooth workshop preparation without the need for time-consuming manual stock adjustments.
Encourage repeat visits with smart rewards
Building a loyal customer base is essential for a local art shop. Rather than relying on complicated points systems that customers often forget, our software allows you to print automated, targeted discount vouchers directly onto receipts. These can be tailored to encourage a return visit within a specific timeframe, such as a discount on framing services or a future purchase of professional-grade oils. You can also manage customer profiles to track preferences and purchase history, allowing for a more personalised service that resonates with local artists.
Synchronise your physical and digital storefronts
Selling art supplies online should not lead to inventory headaches. For businesses looking to expand their reach, our software offers native integration with major e-commerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento. When an item is sold online, your in-store inventory levels are updated instantly. This synchronisation prevents overselling and ensures your digital and physical storefronts remain in perfect alignment, allowing you to manage one single source of truth for your entire business.
Reduce administration with integrated AI tools
Spend less time on paperwork and more time assisting customers with their creative needs. Our built-in AI tools can automatically import supplier invoices, significantly reducing manual data entry and potential errors. Furthermore, the software provides clear, human-readable insights into your business performance. These actionable insights help you identify which mediums are trending, making your future purchasing decisions more informed and data-driven.
