We gained some terrific insights from attending Spring Fair in Birmingham this year and while most of those insights are for our in-house consideration we share here some general observations.

Seeing retail trends from overseas before they hit locally is an advantage for sure.

Listening to supplier challenges can help us enhance the software to better serve them too.

Being away can help you see more clearly what’s local to you.

Spring Fair 2025 delivered in these ways and plenty more. There was innovation to see and some terrific ideas to considers a result of the experience. It’s the conversations that are most beneficial.

There are wonderful money-making and business-saving features in our Tower Systems POS software. Here are three stories from just the last week that showcase its power:

• We helped a customer uncover the truth. They had a trusted employee who had been stealing $30,000 over the course of a year. Our POS software provided the evidence they needed to take action.
• We helped a customer identify $50,000 in additional revenue. The Insights Dashboard in our system highlighted sales opportunities they were missing out on. With a few tweaks to their marketing and sales strategy, they were able to lock in those extra sales.
• We helped a customer shed dead weight. The “What’s Not Working” tab in the Insights Dashboard revealed $25,000 worth of stock that just wasn’t selling. By acting on this information, the customer was able to clear out this dead stock and free up cash flow for more profitable products.

These are just a few examples of how Tower Systems POS software can help your business. The Insights Dashboard is a powerful tool that uses smart technology and AI to give you real-time insights into your business performance. It can help you identify areas for improvement, track trends, and make data-driven decisions that will boost your bottom line.

In today’s retail landscape, it’s easy to get caught up in being busy. But busyness doesn’t always equal profitability. A truly successful business is one that’s making money. When it comes time to sell your business, profitability is one of the key factors that will determine its value.
