CategoryFishing software

The fishing shop software launched by Tower Systems recently came about through the discovery that our software was already being used in fishing and tackle shops. By talking with these customers and learning more about the needs, we have been able to finesse the software and training to make it even more useful for fishing shop retailers and their employees.

At the heart of what we offer is facilities and tools that help local fishing shops serve local needs. For example, including local fishing spot information on receipts helps add value to the contact customers have with a business. Visitors can be put in the know in a consistent way without you having to be in their face.

This one step, of using receipts to share valuable information, can demonstrate an excellent point of difference for a local small business fishing shop.

Another benefit of the software is the management of items made and repaired. Tracking repairs is easy as is the management of the repairs including labour and products used in the repair. The same can be said for the manufacturing of items such as lures. Managing components and time and tracking special orders of these can help the business be more consistent and drive a better financial return. It is business after all.

Being able to do all this, and more, and connect it easily and seamlessly with an online business is important for any small business but more so for a local fishing shop where specialist knowledge could be the point of difference that brings people back into the business.

A relationship with Tower Systems can help the owner of a fishing shop reach beyond where the business is at today and propel it into growth and efficiency that combine to deliver a better bottom line and the bottom line is ultimately what drives the value of the business when it comes time to sell the business. This is the Tower Advantage^TM in action, a set of tools and services beyond the software that help you be the maximum value from the software for your business. When we say we’re here to help, we mean it … every day, in all we do for small business retailers including fishing shops.

Typically, fishing retailers are pointed to sporting goods software. While this can be useful, their needs often go beyond sporting goods, as they do considerably more than sell sporting goods. Fishing shops are personal, selling items and offering services you do not see in sporting goods shops. This is why they require specialty software, developed for fishing shops.

Here is what is unique about what Tower Systems offers fishing and relates products retailers:

1. We are a software company, not a consulting business using software as a mechanism for driving consulting fees.
2. We are live. Real people you can get to know by name.
3. We are in your business. Not a contractor we hire, not over the phone, when we install the system we do it in your business, working with you.
4. Manufactured goods. From concept to manufacture, you can manage and track what you make for whom and when. This is a billing and management asset.
5. Lay-by. Our Lay-by facilities have been developed in close consultation, making them unique and comprehensive.
6. We offer more facilities than any other system. These offer you flexibility for driving purchases in the current visit and for bringing shoppers back more often.
7. You have access to extraordinary customisation through settings, enabling you to represent your business how you want.
8. Embedded in our software are facilities for tracking how the software is used. This enables us to help you reduce employee theft.
9. Retail focussed. A challenge of retail is to uncover opportunities early. Smart reports in the Tower software unlock information about opportunities in your business on which you can rely for business planning.

Our focus is on small independent retailers. We serve these businesses best as ours is a local business offering local service. We don’t deal with the big chains with head offices as we have found them to be less concerned about customers. By specialising in small local independent specialty retail businesses we have been able to better serve business needs.

We would welcome an opportunity meet with you in your shop to learn about your needs. We have a professionally skilled team who can meet with you at a time to suit. This could be during the day or after hours.

We are also happy to meet online via Skype, WebEx or some other platform. We often do this in remote situations. Remote meetings like this only allow us to demonstrate our ability to support businesses in remote situations.
