Gift shop software on show at Reed Gift Fair in Melbourne

We are grateful to be featuring our Aussie made and supported POS software for gift shops at the Reed Gift Fair in Melbourne.

This awesome trade show started yesterday and already it’s been terrific for us with new customers signing up on the stand. It is terrific meeting these folks face to face and live demonstrating the software to them.

Our stand has been busy, which we love of course.

At the trade show we are showing our Gift Shop POS software as well as our cloud based and truly portable POS solution, Retailer Roam. This product can run anywhere, any time, with or without Net access. Version 2.0 of this product is packed with features retailers are loving

Our gift shop software features:

1. Easy and accurate selling.
2. Integrated EFTPOS and you choose the bank or EFTPOS partner that suits you.
3. Instant access to money making business performance insights.
4. Less time spend on setting up new stock thanks to supplier partnerships.
5. Less mistakes with reordering thanks to ordering based on past history.
6. A deeper average shopping basket thanks to marketing and other tools.
7. More frequent shopper visits thanks to loyalty solutions shoppers love and engage with.

We’re a POS software company. We make money renting our POS software to retailers. We’re not relying on you going with any particular payments platform or buying from any particular supplier. This matters because it keeps us focussed on making sure you gain value from our POS software.

Gift shop owners who want to make more money from their businesses can benefit from our business insights and labour saving tools. We know that the more our retail partners make more money using our software the more customers we will attract thanks to word of mouth. We really are all in this together with our gift shop oner customers.

Not all gift shop POS software his the same. Not all POS software companies are the same.

We are grateful for and proud of our differences. Our Tower Systems gift shop POS software is a stand out, a product on which you an rely to run a more successful and enjoyable business, a business that’s easier to run and delivering the benefits you want, and need.
