What Data is Transferred to Xero with the Tower Systems POS software Xero integration?

• Sales: End-of-shift sales are transferred to Xero as sales invoices, categorised by department.
• Invoices: Invoices received in your POS system are transferred to Xero at the department level.
• Write-offs and No Sales: These transactions are transferred to designated expense accounts.
• Cost of Sales (Optional): You can choose to export the cost price of sold items to reduce your stock on hand value in Xero. This simplifies end-of-month stock adjustments.

By leveraging the power of Xero and our Tower Systems POS software integration, you can simplify your financial management, improve efficiency, and drive your business forward.

Xero is a popular cloud-based accounting software designed to simplify financial management for small and medium-sized businesses.

Tower Systems developed, sells and supports POS software for local small business specialty retailers in a range of marketplaces in Australia and New Zealand.

By focusing on the unique needs of specialty local retailers, Tower Systems empowers businesses to thrive in a competitive market.  

While we had some freight challenges – our display booth collateral got lost in transit – the Auckland Gift Fair was a terrific event where we met plenty of prospective POS software customers and reacquainted ourselves with others. Being the only software company there was terrific.

The trade show ended Tuesday last week and already we are progressing well with new contacts made.

Tower Systems is grateful to already serve many local specialty retailers in New Zealand, up and down the country.

These New Zealand based retailers cover the retail specialty areas of bike shops, jewellers, garden centres, pet shops, gift shops and more.

They use the Tower Systems POS software much in the way any retailer does, but there is a difference in NZ retail. It is more local, more engaged and more complete in their use of tools in our software to run more enjoyable businesses.

We are thankful to our New Zealand based POS software customers for their advice, and for their active participation in the constant evolution of our POS software.

From online POS software user meetings to local New Zealand user meet-ups, to trade show catch-ups (like the Auckland gift fair next week), to one on one contact, we offer many connection opportunities with retailers using our POS software.

And while we are an Australian company, our service of our NZ retailer customers is the same as it is everywhere. This is thanks to our extended operating hours and the comprehensive kit of resources we offer our POS software customers for learning, suggesting enhancements and  connecting with our help desk team.

Across plenty of our specialty retail channels we serve New Zealand customers. These include: charity and thrift shops, garden centres, bike shops, toy shops, gift shops, jewellers, farm supply businesses, repairs businesses, magazine retailers, pet shops and more. Versions of our POS software are tuned for these types of businesses.

We have done New Zealand specific integrations to enable our POS software to better serve New Zealand business needs. The Smart Pay EFTPOS integration was one such project. This was delivered free to our customers once we passed the rigorous certification and in-field testing. There are other examples like this – New Zealand retailer let integrations with our POS software.

Our New Zealand customers have toll free access to our help desk and support services. Training is delivered at no telephone costs too – making it easy and low cost to access us when you need help or assistance.

Tower Systems is committed to the New Zealand marketplace. We are thankful to have served local retailer customers for more than 20 years and appreciate that we serve more customers now in early 2023 than we did in 2022.

The ultimate goal is that when you come to sell your business you get a better price because of the money it’s making and the ease with which the business can be run.

Using g our POS software you can leverage benefits including:

• Attract new shoppers. We have several smart loyalty options that help drive word of mouth and word of mouth drives new traffic.
• Increase sales. We show you what to put with what, what smart product adjacencies get shoppers spending more. Front-end loyalty helps get today’s shopper buying more today.

We are in Auckland next week meeting with customers and potential customers in New Zealand. We are regularly in NZ thanks to a strong user community of small business retailers using our software.

Our NZ customers have easy access to on-site training as well as support, through a toll free number provided to all.

Handling all New Zealand Inland Revenue reporting and tax requirements, our NZ POS software is terrific for retailers in the various specialty niches in which we serve. It has been thus for many years, since we first entered the NZ marketplace.

While we are in Auckland next week we will meet with business partners who provide local hardware sales and support, offering small business retailers the comfort they want for the maximum uptime.

Retail in New Zealand is different to Australia in several interesting ways. While we will not detail them here for competitive reasons, the differences are valuable to us as in meeting them we make our software more valuable in Australia and other countries in which we work.

We are grateful to our NZ customers for their engagement and support. They help make us a better POS software company.
