Ask a produce / farm supply / stockfeed business owner where the week goes and invoice entry is usually on the list. It takes time. The invoices are long, and often complex.
Invoices arrive. Someone checks them against what turned up. Then someone types them in, item by item and cost by cost, so that stock levels and costs are right. In a business carrying thousands of lines across feed, animal health, hardware, fencing and seasonal ranges, that is hours every week. It is also where cost price errors enter the system, and a wrong cost is a wrong margin on every sale until somebody notices.
The Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses has electronic invoice importing tools, and Tower Systems works directly with suppliers to establish the links. The invoice arrives as data. Costs update. Stock updates. The team checks rather than types.
That second part deserves underlining. The Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses is not a file format handed over with best wishes. Building data links with suppliers is work Tower Systems has done for years across many specialty retail channels. Where a customer needs a link with a supplier who does not yet have one, that is a conversation Tower Systems is willing to have with the supplier.
Now the honest limits, because this is where software companies oversell.
It depends on the supplier. Some are excellent. Some send a PDF and nothing else. Some will build a link if enough of their stockists ask, which is why raising it matters.
It depends on the data. Item codes on both sides need to reconcile. That is setup work, done once.
And it will not cover every invoice that arrives. The target is the largest suppliers by line count, because that is where the hours are.
Even a partial result is significant. Two or three major suppliers linked can return most of a day a week.
The invoices the Tower systems software can import are evolving, as the AI model learns more, and we are regularly training it to be more capable.
For a business keying invoices by hand, send Tower Systems examples if invoices, and we will test them for you. If they don’t work, we will say so.
