How bikes are sold is changing rapidly and this is challenging traditional bike shops. Those navigating the changes best are those adapting to the changing settings.
Here at Tower Systems we offer software made for bike shops, local bike shops, independent bike shops.

Our bike shop software has been tuned to the needs of local bike shops from managing sales through to pos-sales follow up and the all important service component. This is specialty retail POS software made for bike shops as we know bike retailers are specialty retailers – they need tools in their software tailored to their needs.
Generic POS software does not serve the needs of bike shops in our experience. Some software changes based on transaction value. here at Tower Systems we do not do that.

More Point of Sale (POS) software companies have shifted focus to sourcing revenue from each transaction completed in retail businesses using their software.
Some even impose a penalty on retailers who choose to use payment methods that do not provide the software company the revenue share opportunity.
We think this is what makes the approach a tax. It’s a cost of business retailers using such POS software systems are unable to avoid, unless they switch software.
The software companies imposing this charge, imposing the requirement that retailers use their payments platform, off of which the software companies profit, say they are doing it to fund software development, to make their products better.
By disconnecting the revenue from the sale or rental of the software and binding it to every customer purchase in a shop using the software, a software company shifts focus, we think.
