The best way to compare POS software is to compare function by function.

We love doing this for retailers considering our POS software. We setup a Zoom meeting where we show our POS software live next to software from any other POS software company open to function by function comparison.

Not all POS software companies will agree to this type of comparison. For you and your business though, a live comparison under your control is what is best.

As a leading Australian provider of POS solutions, Tower Systems understands the unique needs of local retailers. We make POS software for a range of specialty retail needs. If you want to compare POS software for pet shops, jewellers, bike shops, garden centres, newsagents, gift shops, music shops, fishing and outdoors shops, fashion shops, toy shops, bookshops and more, Tower Systems can show POS software functions that go deep to needs unique to these retail channels.

Tower Systems recognises that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to POS software. That’s why we offer a unique service: POS software comparison, on your timing and to the depth of function that matters to you.

We believe informed decisions lead to better outcomes. By comparing different POS systems, local retailers can gain a clear understanding of the features, functionalities, and pricing structures available. This empowers you to select the software that best aligns with your specific business needs and budget.

Our commitment extends beyond the POS software itself. We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure retailers get the most out of our POS system.

We are grateful to have helped thousands of local retail businesses across Australia and New Zealand to achieve success.

If you’re a local retailer looking to streamline operations, improve customer service, and boost your bottom line, take time to compare POS software from us.  Our commitment to local businesses, combined with our expertise in POS solutions, can empower you to make informed decisions and achieve long-term success.

Compare POS software from us and we prom use to be open and transparent. We our software does not do something you need, we will say so. This truth serves you and us well. We want customers who genuinely benefit from what our software offers. We know you’ll love us for this.

When you are ready to compare POS software, have your list of must-haves ready.

Two weeks ago we released the most substantial software update in several years, and that is saying something because there have been some significant updates in recent years.

This update is more substantial as it takes the software deeper into a couple of areas of specialty retail business management that are new for us.

As we have grown, we have found opportunities to serve more deeply. So, we asked our customers early last year about these areas and plenty responded with suggestions.

Thus began a project of significant collaboration as we developed new software, new functionality for our POS software. We showed progress along the way, seeking feedback. Then, we finally moved to alpha release, then pre-beta followed by weeks of beta and, then, commercial release around two weeks ago.

We are grateful to the customers who worked closely with us through this, providing feedback, encouraging us, being test sites. It means so much to have customers working with you in partnership like this.

In announcing the commercial release of the software, we shared comprehensive details on how yo use the new facilities as well as a brief overview. Here’s a sample of some of the comms on the POS software update:

• New Facility: We are excited to introduce a new capability within our Quote & Invoice Management system that allows users to reserve items from their inventory. This ensures that your stock levels are accurately reflected, preventing overselling.
• Proforma Invoice Status: A new interim status, “Proforma Invoice,” has been added to our Quotes & Invoice management. This status acts as an accepted quote that has not yet been processed as an invoice but has already reduced the available stock quantity by moving it to a new “Reserved Quantity.” This significant update allows you to issue proforma invoices to customers without making the reserved stock visible on your website or in-store.
• We have enhanced the Quote & Invoice Management system to support the acceptance of deposits and progression payments for Proforma Invoices. This feature facilitates flexible payment options for your customers and streamlined financial management for your business.
• New Feature: The ability to order parts directly from the Repairs Module has been introduced. This feature links part orders to the corresponding repair case, ensuring that parts are accurately tracked from order to delivery, and reducing the risk of misplacement.
• New Substatus – Awaiting Parts: For better management and visibility, a new substatus, “Awaiting Parts,” has been added to the Repairs Module. This helps workshop technicians easily identify which repairs are pending part arrivals.

Our update notes are considerable, enabling our customers to access details appropriate to their type of business.
