Major platform upgrade, six months in the making and delivered in partnership with Tower Systems and Meshon, connects dealer point-of-sale systems directly to Australia’s dedicated firearms marketplace.
BRISBANE, QLD — 15 July 2026 — Gun Traders Australia (GTA) today launched the next chapter of its online marketplace — a major platform upgrade six months in the making, headlined by an industry-first integration that connects licensed firearms dealers’ point-of-sale systems directly to the marketplace.
Developed in partnership with retail software provider Tower Systems POS and IT services firm Meshon, the integration allows dealers running Tower Systems point-of-sale software to publish and manage their in-store inventory on Gun Traders Australia automatically — eliminating double handling and keeping listings accurate without extra administration.
For Australia’s shooting community, the upgraded platform delivers:
- More listings — more choice for buyers and more exposure for sellers, as dealer inventory flows onto the marketplace automatically.
- A smoother experience — improved performance and a cleaner, easier-to-navigate site built for Australia’s shooting community.
- Less admin for dealers — streamlined workflows and simpler listing management that give dealers more time to run their businesses.
“Gun Traders Australia was built for Australia’s shooting community, and this next chapter is about giving dealers back their time,” said Carly Parker, Founder of Gun Traders Australia. “The integration with Tower Systems means dealers manage their inventory once and it flows straight through to the marketplace — no double handling, no wasted hours. That means more listings and more choice for buyers, more exposure for sellers, and a platform that works as hard as the people who use it.”
“We are grateful for the opportunity to serve Australian firearms dealers with this initiative,” said Gavin Williams, General Manager of Tower Systems. “The firearms dealer community is important to us, and we will embrace any opportunity to help firearms dealers run more efficient and enjoyable businesses.”
“We are pleased to have partnered with Gun Traders Australia and Tower Systems to deliver this industry-first integration,” said Andy Ansari, Executive Director of Meshon. “This project demonstrates what can be achieved when industry expertise and technology innovation come together. Our focus has been on building a secure, reliable and user-friendly platform that helps Australian firearms dealers manage and promote their inventory more efficiently.”
The new platform is live now at guntraders.com.au. Dealers already running Tower Systems point of sale can contact Tower Systems to have the Gun Traders Australia integration activated — phone 1300 662 957 or email sales@towersystems.com.au.
Dealers not yet on Tower Systems can also get in touch to explore a point of sale built specifically for Australian firearms retailers — including serial-number-level record keeping for compliance, integrated workshop and gunsmith job management, and club pricing for members — at towersystems.com.au/firearms-software.html.
