A stockfeed, produce or farm supply business manages bulk stock, organise deliveries, prepare feed mixes, look after customer accounts and source products customers cannot find on your shelves. All at once.
Tower Systems brings these jobs together in specialist software. Locally made and supported, it helps connect your counter, stockroom, delivery vehicles and online shop.
Manage deliveries and charge for what you supply
Deliveries are a core part of many farm supply businesses. Your software needs to help manage the work from the initial order through to dispatch.
Tower Systems includes dispatch management for multiple trucks and multiple deliveries per vehicle. Integration with Allotrac provides an option for businesses with more advanced delivery requirements.
When selling from a bulk supply tanker or truck, you need to charge farmers for what you actually provide. Support for weight-based and fractional quantities helps you handle these sales accurately.
Retailer Roam™ also supports selling away from the shop, including from a truck. It can operate without an internet connection, helping you serve customers beyond reliable mobile coverage.
Buy in bulk and make your own mixes
Your own feed mixes can give customers a reason to choose your business.
Tower Systems supports buying raw materials and managing their mixing or packaging into finished products. This helps you connect the ingredients you purchase with the products you prepare and sell.
Buy in bulk, mix to your recipe and charge accurately for the finished product. Whether customers buy a standard bag or a specific quantity, your software should support the way you trade.
Keep customer accounts, quotes and invoices under control
Strong general debtors facilities are important when account customers represent a substantial part of your business.
Tower Systems combines customer account management with quote and invoice management tools. You can prepare quotes, manage invoices and keep track of what customers owe within the same system you use to run the shop.
That matters when a customer’s purchase involves more than a quick counter transaction. A quoted order, a scheduled delivery and an account sale are connected parts of the same customer relationship.
Loyalty options provide another way to recognise repeat business. Choose an approach that farmers value and that makes commercial sense for your store.
Say yes to special orders
You cannot carry every product every customer might need. You can, however, make special orders part of your service.
Tower Systems supports bringing in and managing special orders for customers. This helps you look beyond the stock on your shelves when responding to a request.
For an independent farm supply business, that is an opportunity to compete through service. You can help customers source what they need while keeping the order organised within your retail software.
Spend less time entering supplier invoices
Supplier paperwork can consume time that would be better spent serving customers or managing the business.
Tower Systems includes AI tools for importing just about any supplier invoice. These tools help reduce manual data entry and the work involved in bringing supplier invoice information into your system.
An integrated barcode lookup tool provides access to 1.6 billion barcodes, helping you find product information without starting every product record from scratch.
Together, these tools target everyday administration that can otherwise slow your team down.
Connect your shop with Shopify
Online selling should be part of your business, not a separate stock-management task.
Tower Systems integrates with Shopify, synchronising product descriptions, pricing and images. Online sales flow back into the software to help keep inventory accurate.
This gives customers another way to buy while connecting online activity with your existing retail operation.
See business performance without preparing another report
You should not have to find spare time to assemble reports before you can understand how your business is performing.
The Tower Systems Insights Dashboard provides business performance insights around the clock, without you having to prepare them manually.
It gives you a way to check performance when it suits you, rather than adding another reporting job to your day.
Choose local support and a voice in future development
Software is a long-term business relationship. The people behind it matter.
Tower Systems is locally made and supported, with a help desk team based in Australia and New Zealand. Human-delivered support is available six days a week, with after-hours assistance for urgent system-down issues. Training and ongoing software updates are included in its monthly rental model.
Local produce and farm supply businesses also have an opportunity to influence the software’s future direction. Tower Systems draws on feedback from its community of store owners to guide development.
As retail evolves, that connection matters. Your practical experience can help inform the tools you will use next.
Put your real business needs into a demonstration
Ask Tower Systems to demonstrate the work you do every week: importing a supplier invoice, preparing a quote, managing a customer account, organising a special order and dispatching a delivery.
Include a bulk sale from a truck, a product made to your own recipe and a Shopify order. Then look at how the Insights Dashboard helps you monitor performance.
To arrange a demonstration, call Tower Systems on 1300 662 957.
