We are thrilled with the start of our national tour of POS software user meetings and small business retailer networking sessions.

This photo is from launceston on Monday this week.

When was the last time your POS software company hosted a user meeting and consultation in Launceston? For too many POS software users in Launceston the answer would be never.

Tower Systems is proud to be offering these user meetings and immensely grateful to our customers for coming out to meet us.

Yesterday was Hobart. In a few minutes we kick off our first Melbourne session.

Tower Systems is exhibiting its gift shop software at the Reed Gift Fair starting tomorrow morning. What is especially exciting is the launch of new software, never seen before, developed from scratch by Tower for the service of small and independent retailers like gift shops, newsagents, garden centres, toy shops and jewellers.

This new software is unlike anything in the Australian marketplace.

To see the new software, come visit the Tower Stand at the gift on stand: SS61. There, you will also be able to see our latest gift shop software. If you are a newsagent we will have our latest newsagency software.

We are very excited for the opportunities we will discover at the Gift Fair.

The Xero POS software link from Tower Systems is driving excellent results for the growing community of engaged small business retailers. The most common experience is happiness at the time saved from faster access to data in Xero. This, coupled with the accuracy of the data helps to drive better decisions within the small business retailers using the Tower Systems POS software and Xero.

The Xero link to our POS software is available as a subscription service. It is another cloud based software implementation from Tower Systems – one of several developed by the company and released for customer use.

Recommended by professional accountants, Xero is ideal for small to medium sized businesses. The Xero approved integration offered by Tower Systems respects the professional approach of the two companies, ensuring that the link is tight, efficient and commercially useful.

Watch for more enhancements on this front as 2016 unfolds. We are excited for the opportunities through our relationship with Xero.

Our software company head office was a massive kennel Friday last week with eight dogs from team members mixing and helping us get the job done. What a delight!

Comparing POS software is important for any retailer looking for solution for their business. Here are three questions we suggest any retail include in their list of questions:

1. Will you block or hinder in any way whatsoever access to the software if I do not wish to pay an annual, monthly or any other regular fee?
2. Is it easy to export any data from your software and do you document your file layouts to make this easy?
3. Do I get to approve you accessing my computer or can you do this any time without my knowledge?

We have been helping retailers recently who would be better off today had they asked these questions of the company they paid thousands of dollars to.

POS software can do more for small business retailers than they may think. Good POS software, like that from Tower Systems, goes deep into the business, away from the sales counter, helping in many ways.

Help with lease negotiations.

Landlords want facts when negotiating new leases, especially if a tenant is seeking a change in terms. Thanks to the metrics in our POS software, our customers have ready access to accurate data such as shopper traffic, basket depth, shopper efficiency, space efficiency among others. These and other data points help retailers to be more informed in landlord negotiations.

Thanks to our retail experience we also help retailers assemble information from the POS software so retailers can put forward the best case possible. We have done this many times working with retailers in different channels and different retail situations and even talking directly to their landlord to provide certainty and confidence as to the accuracy and value of the business data.

The Tower Systems POS software helps retailers in a range of specialist retail channels to avoid product sell outs with reordering assistance through reports and other active functions in the software.

The smart retail management software also issues warnings on the POS transaction screen when selling an item for which stock on hand has reached a trigger point of concern as setup by the business.

Providing multiple touch points advising of an impending or existing out of stock can help retailers to manage inventory for greater profit. This has to be a goal for using POS software in any retail business.

Here at Tower Systems we back the facility with practical advice on how to use these facilities.
