Charity and opportunity shops are vital to the fabric of local communities across Australia and New Zealand. Whether operated by religious organisations, animal welfare groups, or local community collectives, these shops provide a sustainable way to raise essential funds while giving pre-owned goods a second life. At Tower Systems, we recognise the unique contribution of the charity sector and are committed to supporting it through specialised technology and significant cost relief.
To assist these organisations in maximising their impact, we offer our specialised point of sale software to registered charities at half the usual price. This initiative is a core part of our commitment to giving back, helping to strengthen the local communities that these shops serve. Despite the reduced cost, we provide these organisations with the same high level of human-based technical support and training as our full-fee-paying customers.
The software itself is designed to meet the specific operational needs of an op-shop environment. It is intentionally user-friendly, ensuring that volunteers, who may only work a few hours a week, can learn the system quickly and process sales with confidence. This ease of use reduces the training burden on shop managers and ensures a smooth experience for both staff and donors.
Functionality within the platform allows for flexible management of a diverse and ever-changing inventory. Shops can choose to track sales by broad product categories or by specific items, depending on what best suits their workflow. The system also handles flexible product pricing and the ability to sell by product type rather than relying solely on individual barcodes, which is often more practical for donated goods.
Beyond basic transactions, the software helps build deeper community connections. It includes tools to manage discounts for specific community groups and can track member engagement to help the charity better understand its supporter base. For managers who need to oversee operations remotely, the software also offers off-location management capabilities.
By providing robust, professional tools at an accessible price point, we aim to empower independent charity shops to operate more efficiently. This partnership allows these vital organisations to focus less on administration and more on their primary mission of supporting their local communities.
We are happy to demonstrate to store managers, a board or others involved in the decision making process. We record the demonstration so it can be shared through the organisation.
