Local sewing shops, haberdashery businesses and fabric shops are beloved by their customers for their products, their knowledge and their love of making. Our software for sewing, haberdashery and fabric shops has facilities that help these businesses thrive – through efficiency, smart insights and support for better business decision making.

Sewing shops, haberdashery businesses and fabric shops have business software needs that go way beyond what you will see in traditional POS software.

From selling by fractions, to supporting club member pricing to leveraging loyalty for infrequent visits to tracking products by colour to selling bundled products as a kit sewing shops, haberdashery businesses and fabric shops benefit from software than can be tuned to their needs.

In this video, Justin from our team shows some of the facilities that these specialty retailers love, facilities unique to their needs. Our POS software for sewing shops, haberdashery businesses and fabric shops does more than these few things though.

Fabric and Sewing shops can be part retail, part repair / maintenance / part advisory / part teaching. It is in these niche areas that our software serves, helping specialty retailers like fabric and sewing shops to track what they sell and nurture a better customer experience.

Since we make our own POS software, we are able to evolve the software to serve evolving needs, and we are able to fine-time our support of the software to ensure that it serves the needs of sewing shops and related businesses that decide the software is a good fit for their needs.

We are grateful to the sewing, haberdashery and fabric shops who are already customers. Their insights have been most helpful

Take the selling of items by decimals or fractions. This is how fabric is sold. We make it easy and accurate. We even handle pricing that can vary based on the length of a fabric purchased. In other words, play less per metre the more you buy. This is handled by the software based on the settings created by those running the sewing shop.

We appreciate every sewing / fabric shop is different. Tell us about your needs and we can see if our software could help.

Tower Systems makes POS software for sewing shops. The needs of these shops vary from the needs of traditional retail.

This sewing shop software is packed with facilities to serve these needs and more.

Here are some of the ways our Tower Systems POS software for sewing shops helps sewing shops leverage their uniqueness:

1. Rare visit loyalty.  We are told that customers visit a sewing shop infrequently. Our software offers subtle loyalty tools that encourage more value from each visit.
2. Pre-orders. Easily manage selling products before you have them in-stock. Collectors love these facilities.
3. Repairs management. If you do repairs, track them from the moment they arrive – for repairs done in-house and externally. Track parts and labour and easily advise customers when the repair is complete.
4. Club / collector marketing and support. Leverage clubs and collectors with offers and pricing. Nurture the love of home sewing and connecting to this community, and growing the size of the community.
5. Special orders. With some items ordered in for a customer request, managing these types of orders helps the business to manage opportunities and to capture revenue in advance.
6. Serial number tracking.  Tracking serial numbers for items can help with warranty and insurance claims.
7. Sell by length. This may seem basic. It’s not available in some software. In the Tower software, you can sell by length, including fractions.
8. Rent. If you rent our machines, easily track with our software.
9. Track the untrackable. Using our software you can track even small items that cannot support a barcode. We have an easy and certain way you can do this.
10. Manage product variants. Plenty of products in a sewing shop come in different colours and sizes. Managing these variations is easy with our software.
11. Remind shoppers for servicing. If you sell sewing machines, bring shoppers back for servicing visits easily with notifications.

Our Australian made and supported sewing shop software does much more than this. Be sure to see it for yourself, live and obligation free, to see if it could serve you and your business.

We are grateful to serve plant of locally owned and run sewing shops with our POS software and with websites we have built that are connected to our POS software.
