How a local small business bike shop can compete with online retailers and prosper in today’s economy

November 18, 2025
3 Min read
H

While there is plenty of media coverage about online retailers taking sales from high street retailers and how tough retail is, there are retailers, including local small business bike retailers, who are growing stronger, more valuable businesses.

How are these retailers growing?

It’s simple:

  1. Be accessible.
  2. Be noticeable.
  3. Be valuable.

Be accessible.

This is about being in a good location, in a shop that is easy to access, opening the right hours and offering a shopping experience that is easy – accessible.

Be noticeable.

This is about a shop window and online presence that people notice for its uniqueness. Average will deliver average. You need to deliver unexpected to be notice.

Be valuable.

This comes down to what you sell, how you sell and how people feel about that as they experience what you have sold to them.

So, let’s dig deeper in our advice for local bike shops and other local small business retailers. This advice is based on decades of service in this space.

Growth in retail requires planning and commitment throughout the business.  It is vital that attention is paid to consumer touch points, placing the unique points of difference of the business in the spotlight.

Good businesses grow faster when growth strategies are encoded in business processes from the sales counter to the back room and are at the heart of supplier and employee relationships.

By leveraging in-store knowledge, experience and personal service, a high street bike shop can convert a browser into a shopper.  The keys are attention to detail, memorable personal service and a value proposition.

This is where good POS software, implemented professionally, can help.  It can also help drive operational efficiency  and performance consistency and thereby give the business the financial means to be competitive.

There are bike shops doing this today, large and small, city and country.

But how can bike shop software do this?

  • Sales processes can be structured to drive consistency.
  • A loyalty program encourages your shopper to shop more frequently.
  • A contact follow up program can bring a customer back more often.
  • Marketing can be driven by email, mail and fax.
  • Mistakes at the sales counter, in ordering and in management can be reduced, freeing cash.
  • Selling can be made easier, thereby improving the shopper experience.
  • New marketing platforms are created: on receipts, at the counter and elsewhere.
  • Employees can be rewarded for above average sales – aligning their rewards with those of the business.
  • A common inventory file for an online store and a high street store.

Good bike shop software can help a bike retailer compete with online businesses and prosper in any economy.

Growth begins with deciding that this is what you want for your business. The next step is pursuing it relentlessly.

People looking for their first bike are encouraged by bike shops to talk to an expert. Bike shop owners wanting greater success should, likewise, talk to an expert.

3 things small business retailers are shocked to discover about their business from our POS software

November 17, 2025
4 Min read
3

From serving small business, local, independent retailers for decades, there are three things that stand out as the things that shock retailers the most when they discover them using our POS software.

The 3 things that shock small business retailers are, however, things these retailers tend to not want to know about, because of how the discovery makes them feel. This is why we say they shock them.

Dead stock.

Every retail business has underperforming stock, many have dead stock, that is, stock not selling, stock that is sitting there doing nothing for the business. Dead money. Wasted space. Missed opportunities. Dead stock can kill a business.

In a typical independent small retail business, dead stock accounts for 15% and more of the total investment in stock. In a business with $100,000 in stock, that is $15,000 dead, wasted, lost.

Our POS software shows the value of dead stock easily, quickly, continuously. It is easy for retailers to see the value of dead stock. Most don;t look. Most don’t want to know.

For us, when helping a retail business, dead stock is an easy win. See it. Make a plan. Act. Stop making decisions that result in dead stock.

Theft.

Every retail business experiences theft – employee theft and customer theft. Most retailers don’t look for theft, don’t use tools in POS software that can show theft may be an issue.

Theft in retail is one of those things – if I can’t see it, it’s not happening, which is nonsense, of course.

In a typical small independent retail business, theft costs between 3% and 5% of annual turnover. A shop turning over $1M a year in sales experiences theft to the value of at least $30,000 a year is occurring in the business between employee theft and customer theft.

In our experience, retailers tend to obsess about customer theft and ignore employee theft. The thing is, employee theft is usually hitting a business at a higher cost.

Every retail business needs a consistent focus on theft.

What am I missing?

Every retail business has opportunities they miss. The easiest one to see and understand is the cost of sales not achieved because the business did not have the stock available when a customer was in and wanting that stock.

In our work with retailers across many retail channels, but small business retailers, independent retailers, we see that in the top 20% of inventory items, businesses are out of stock of these enough of the time to be able to predict a value loss to the business.

In our research across a number of businesses, we can see the cost of what am I missing? hitting between $15,000 and $20,ooo in revenue in a year. The question for any retailer is – do you want that $15,000 to $20,000 in additional revenue each year? We hope the answer is yes.

In our POS software we answer the question of what am I missing out on? without if having to even be asked.

These are just three things we know small business retailers are shocked to discover.

In a business turning over $1M a year in sales, these three things can combine to be worth $60,000 a more in a year. Every retail business we know would like an extra $60,000 in revenue value, especially if it is easy to put in place processes to lock that revenue in.

These are easy wins in retail businesses that our Tower Systems POS software can deliver for small business retailers. To facilitate the delivery, we back it with training and business insights support – so that using the POS software to leverage the 3 easy wins in, well, easy.

If you run a local retail business: know your dead stock and fix it, understand the cost of theft and fix it, be sure of what you are missing out on and fix it.

This is easy action advice for small business retailers today. These three things offer small business retailers easy wins.

How Specialty Retail POS Software (Like Ours) Provides Cleaner Data than a ‘Generic’ POS

November 14, 2025

H

Our Tower Systems POS software connects direct to Xero, enabling accurate and on-time data flow from the POS software to Xero.

  • Saving time.
  • Reducing costs.
  • Reducing mistake opportunities.

Made in Australia for specialty small business retailers in Australia and New Zealand, our POS software helps small business retailers and their bookkeepers and accountants have a hassle free life with our Xero connectivity.

Call us on 1300 662 957 or on 0800 444 367 from New Zealand. You can email us, too, at sales@towersystems.com.au. Tell us about your Xero / POS software connection requirements and we will help if we can, and let you know right away is we cannot.

Being made for specialty retailers, our POS software serves retail channel specific needs:

  • Bike shops can manage repairs and the work, and parts, associated with each.
  • Our jeweller software can manage the components that go into a beautiful ring.
  • Our bookshop software can manage book reruns.
  • Our garden centre software facilitates repotting when plants grow, helping the bis==business maximise revenue.
  • Our pet shops software helps with reminding customers about working.
  • Our newsagent software manages magazines the way suppliers and newsagents require.
  • Our supermarket software allows selling by weight.
  • Our hardware and similar business software allows selling by length, and fractions.
  • Our gift shop software tracks customer dates that matter and can help you bring them back for anniversaries and more.
  • Our produce / farm supply business software helps them sell on the road.
  • Our charity shop / op. shop software works easily with volunteers doing limited hours each week.
  • Our firearms dealer software captures customer details for accurate record keeping.
  • Our fishing and outdoors software helps them serve folks looking for the best location.
  • Our computer shop software helps them track product serial numbers.
  • Our fashion shop software helps them track inventory by colour, size and style.

Each of these businesses is specialist in nature. Their needs are well served by software made for them, software that supports their specialisation. The more their POS software does this the better the business and the more useful the business data collected and curated by the POS software.

A generic POS can’t handle any of this. This leads to staff using “workarounds” that corrupt the data you receive. A specialty POS is built for these functions, ensuring the data is captured correctly at the source.

A specialty retail POS (like ours) understands the business logic behind every transaction.

Generic does not cut it for specialty business needs – unless a retail business sees themselves as generic, basic, average. Of course, specialty retailers see themselves and their businesses as anything but generic, basic or average.

This philosophy is at the core of what we do at Tower Systems. Our POS software is built for the specialty retailers that small business focussed accountants and bookkeepers serve, the newsagents, jewellers, bike shops, pet shops, and toy stores. Our Xero integration is deep, accurate, and designed with advisors like accountants and bookkeepers in mind, ensuring clean data, every time, and on time.

By only serving independent small business retailers, we have ensured we serve a customer community of like-minded retailers. There is no whale in our community dominating software development. All voices are equal. All needs are considered. We gate keep our community by being clear if we think a business is not a good fit for us – respectfully and gently, of course.

“A Game-Changer”: Why Australian Retailers are Embracing AI in their POS Software

November 10, 2025
4 Min read
&

The term “AI” is everywhere. For a busy small business owner, it can sound less like a helpful tool and more like another complicated buzzword, something for big corporations, not for a local gift shop, garden centre, or newsagency.

The thing is, small business retailers have, right now, easier access to AI tools than big businesses.

It’s not complicated. AI tools, built directly into the POS software available for independent small business retailers, working in the background, helping in everyday practical ways, saving time, helping you make more money, giving you support for better decision making.

This is real. It’s available today for small business retailers.

At Tower Systems, we’ve embedded practical AI tools into our software, and the feedback from our customers—real, independent Australian retailers—has been incredible.

We’re not talking about abstract concepts. We’re talking about real results.

What Our Customers are Saying

Wa are grateful for the positive messages from our retail partners. Here’s a glimpse of what they’ve told us:

  • On Saving Time: “I’M SAVING 8 HOURS A WEEK, EVERY WEEK, WITH YOUR AI TOOLS!” – Small Garden Centre Owner
  • On Increasing Profit: “I’M MAKING MORE MONEY IN MY SHOP THANKS TO YOUR AI TOOLS!” – Gift Shop Owner, Regional Australia
  • On Usability: “I’M 76 AND I LOVE THESE AI TOOLS. THEY ARE A GAME-CHANGER FOR US.” – Newsagent, Regional Australia
  • On the “Wow” Factor: “I’M SHOCKED AT HOW GOOD THE AI TOOLS ARE. I’LL NEVER GO BACK.” – Toy Shop Owner, Suburban Australia

These quotes aren’t from tech start-ups. They’re from garden centres, gift shops, and newsagents. They’re from regional and suburban business owners, people who need technology to work for them, not create more work.

So, how are they achieving these results?

️ How Our AI Tools Deliver Real Results

This isn’t a “magic wand.” These results come from specific, practical tools designed to solve the biggest headaches in retail – and from support we provide to help small business retailers understand our AI supported POS software.

1. How to Save 8 Hours a Week

For the Small Garden Centre Owner, that extra full day of work isn’t coming from magic. It’s coming from our AI-powered invoice processing.

  • The Old Way: Manually entering every single line item from a supplier’s PDF invoice. It’s tedious, time-consuming, and prone to human error.
  • The New Way: Our AI scans the PDF invoice, intelligently converts it into a digital format, and loads it directly into your system, ready for review. That’s hours of data entry, every week, given back to you.

2. How to Make More Money

For the Gift Shop Owner in Regional Australia, making more money is about working smarter. Our AI tools act like a marketing and pricing assistant, 24/7.

  • Better Online Sales: Our AI generates meaningful, SEO-ready product descriptions for you. This helps your website and products get found more easily on Google, driving online traffic and sales.
  • Smarter Pricing: The software includes AI tools that allow you to compare pricing locally. This ensures your margins are optimised and you remain competitive, helping you make better profit-driven decisions instantly.

3. How to Be a “Game-Changer” for a 76-Year-Old Newsagent

This might be the feedback we’re most proud of. Our AI isn’t intimidating; it’s empowering. For the Newsagent in Regional Australia, the “game-changer” is accessibility.

  • It’s Embedded: The tools aren’t in a separate, complex program. They are buttons and features inside the Tower Systems software they already use every day.
  • It Solves Real Problems: It simplifies complex tasks like marketing and data entry, making powerful technology accessible to everyone, regardless of their tech background. When you can save time and make more money with a simple click, it truly changes the game.

The Verdict: “I’ll Never Go Back”

The Toy Shop Owner who said they’ll “never go back” perfectly captures the feeling. Once you’ve experienced a smarter way of working—where tedious tasks are automated and your profitability is actively boosted—the old way of doing things seems impossible.

This is the power of practical AI. It’s not about hype; it’s about giving independent retailers the “unfair” advantages to not only compete but to thrive.

Are you ready to see what our AI tools might be able to do for your business? The experience of every business is different. We’d love to show you our software so you can decide for yourself the benefits that may be available to you.

In the Tower Systems POS software, small business retailers can tap into terrific Christmas season help. This can be in the form of inventory buying guidance, marketing help, co-location assistance and shopper nudging support … plus more.

Helping small business retailers with holiday season facilities is an important role for any POS software. It is something Tower Systems has offered it’s thousands of small business retailer POS software customers for decades. Over time, the holiday season advice and tips have evolved, as have economic and consumer needs.

Leveraging holiday season inventory guidance, for example, retailers can make more informed purchase decisions that better serve the needs of the business based on prior holiday season experience and taking into account trends from this year.

Oh, and when we are talking here about the holiday season in retail, we are talking about holiday seasons like Christmas, Easter, Black Friday, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas in July, back to School.

A holiday season in retail is any season that a retail business can respond to in any to leverage the business opportunity and serve niche customer need.

Holiday seasons in retail do not necessarily have to be the holiday season you think of in a traditional sense.

Using our POS software, beyond knowing what to stock for a holiday season, our retail business partners are able to make shop floor decisions that guide shopper engagement with the holiday season product opportunity ties. These could be loyalty, price, packaging, bundling or post purchase re-visit invitation. these and more can be leveraged thorough the Tower Systems specialty retail POS software.

Leveraging the surge in traffic that a retail business sees from the holiday season can be key to through the year growth, benefiting the business between holiday season shopper traffic peaks. This is key to any retail business achieving a smoother sales flow. While a spike in shopper traffic and revenue are good, less of a spike makes management of a retail business easier and more cost friendly.

Tower Systems, using its collective lived retail experience, can help small business retailers cross the divide between tech and real world to offer a better and more beneficial holiday season experience. That is our goal in the software we develop and the advice we provide through our customer help desk.

November 8, 2025

The conversation around Artificial Intelligence in retail is no longer a futuristic projection; it is a present-day reality, delivering practical tools that are fundamentally changing how independent businesses operate. While large enterprises make headlines, the real innovation is happening at the small business level, with AI integrations empowering retailers to save time, make smarter decisions, and enhance profitability.

Tower Systems has been working with and for small business retailers on there AI front for years. In 2025, the innovation delivered has grown, for which we are gratefully proud. Embedded in our POS software are awesome Ai tools.

This shift is moving beyond simple automation and into the realm of intelligent partnership, where AI acts as a co-pilot for the business owner. Here’s a video of a customer meeting we hosted a couple of days ago:

Current Tower Systems POS Software AI Capabilities in Action

For many small retailers, AI is already embedded in their daily operations through sophisticated Tower Systems POS software integration. These tools are already delivering tangible results by:

  • Generating Marketing Content: Creating optimised product descriptions and blog posts directly from the software, leveraging models like Google Gemini and ChatGPT.
  • Narrative Reporting: An “end of shift” email, for example, is being reimagined. Instead of a list of numbers, AI provides a text-based summary of the business day, highlighting what’s important.

The Evolving AI Roadmap

The innovation, however, is not standing still. The next wave of development is focused on deeper integration and more powerful analytics, including:

  • Broader Model Integration: Adding new AI models, like Claude, to give retailers more choice and to support all existing AI functionalities.
  • AI-Powered Report Analysis: Soon, retailers will be able to run standard reports through an AI, which will provide a synopsis of trends and key data points. The AI will use a dedicated knowledge base to understand the context of the reports, how to read them, and where the data comes from, ensuring accurate analysis.
  • Fundamental Invoice Handling: A significant “under the hood” rework is underway to advance AI-driven invoice processing. As AI models evolve, the software must evolve with them to maintain pace. This includes enhancing the capability to handle complex invoices, such as those with serial numbers, and integrating those workflows seamlessly into the software.

The Next Frontier: Natural Language Interaction

The most exciting development on the horizon is the integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP). This open-source standard will allow AI models to interact directly and securely with a retailer’s local systems, like their database.

In practical terms, this will revolutionise how owners access their data. Instead of running complex reports, a retailer will be able to use natural language to simply ask their software questions like, “What are my top five selling products this month?” or “Which customers are generating the most revenue?” The AI will translate this question into a machine query, retrieve the live data, and present the answer. This removes the final barrier between the business owner and their data, making deep insights instantly accessible.

AI is Not a “Fad,” It’s a Foundation

The adoption of AI is proving to be a bigger shift than the introduction of microcomputers. Retailers who were once hesitant are now becoming converts, loving the time-saving benefits and the new lens through which they can view their business.

The focus is not on technology for its own sake, but on its tangible value: saving time, enabling better decision-making, and driving profitability. The speed of change is rapid, and the tools available today are only just scratching the surface of what’s to come.

Unlock Massive Time Savings: Effortlessly Import Shimano Invoices with AI

November 7, 2025
3 Min read
U

For specialty retailers in the fishing, cycling, or outdoor industries, stocking Shimano products is key. But managing the stock arrival process can be a major bottleneck. Spending hours manually typing in stock codes, descriptions, quantities, and pricing from a complex Shimano invoice is an inefficient use of your valuable time.

Tower Systems is here to revolutionise that workflow, to help these small businesses, independent businesses, to run efficiently, and profitably.

Our POS software, designed for small business retailers, features a powerful AI Import tool that completely automates your stock arrival process. See it here:

This fast and accurate import of Shimano invoices is a practical example of how Tower Systems is helping small business retailers save time, cut mistakes, and set their businesses up for better decision-making. For a busy bait and tackle shop, this means your team is no longer tied up at a computer manually entering data. Instead, they are on the shop floor serving customers, managing stock, and getting your high-value Shimano products ready for sale the moment they arrive.

The value of this AI-driven accuracy extends far beyond the initial time savings. When your Shimano stock data is imported correctly from the very beginning, your inventory-on-hand levels become instantly reliable. This clean data is the foundation of smart retail management, ensuring your sales reports, stock turn analysis, and re-ordering recommendations are all based on fact. It empowers you to make more profitable decisions, reduces the risk of over- or under-stocking, and ensures your most popular fishing gear is always available for your customers.

How It Works

As shown in our new demonstration video, the process is incredibly simple:

  1. From the stock arrivals screen, select your digital Shimano invoice file.
  2. Our intelligent AI instantly analyzes the entire document—even if it has hundreds of items.
  3. The system automatically populates your stock screen with all critical data, including barcodes, quantities, costs, and retail pricing. It can even create a new supplier profile from the invoice details.

This game-changing feature makes new products ready to sell in seconds, not hours. Stop letting data entry slow you down.

  • Existing Tower Systems customers: We encourage you to start using this powerful facility today.
  • Retailers exploring new POS options: Watch this video to see the power of true automation and contact us at sales@towersystems.com.au to see what else our software can do for you.

What we are showing here in this short video for a Shimano invoice can be done with hundreds of suppliers across a broad range of retail sectors. It’s a game changer that retailers tell us they love.

From a Retailer, to a Retailer: The Hard Truth About Overstocking

November 5, 2025
4 Min read
F

We asked retail experienced people in our POS software company for good retailer to retailer advice and this is the advice considered the most popular, vital and useful for local small business retailers – our target retailers.

Plenty of us here have lived the retailer experience personally. This gives us a perspective that is closer to our customers than most POS software companies. It also gets us working with other retailers.

It’s that personal experience that prompted us to share this advice about stock holding and, in particular, the significant risks of being overstocked.

The Obvious Truth We Sometimes Ignore

Let’s start with a fact that, while obvious, is too often ignored:

Stock in boxes in the back room, in a garage, or under tables in the shop will not sell unless it is displayed.

While this will be obvious to most, there are retailers who don’t get it. If you have boxes of stock you’ve not opened for six months or more, you have too much stock. If your back room, garage, and under-display space are filled with boxes, you have a problem.

Do You Know Your Number?

If you don’t know the current value of the stock in your business, it’s highly likely you have too much.

So, what’s the value of your current stock on hand? Start there.

Next, look at your non-circulation product revenue (everything except magazines and newspapers) for the last year. The numbers will support what you currently see in your shop.

As a reasonable first-step guide, I’ve tested this benchmark in a few businesses:

If the value of your non-circulation product stock right now is more than 20% of the total revenue you will make from it in a year, you probably have too much stock.

There will be some who say the 20% figure is inaccurate and unhelpful. Of course, the actual percentage will vary by product category. But as a starting point, it is a reasonable guide to flag a potential problem.

Why We Overbuy (And Who Helps Us Do It)

Spending for the wrong reasons is not helpful to the business and not helpful to you. Some retailers buy friendship through their purchasing. Others like to look busy with a shop bursting with stock. Others buy simply to feel better about themselves.

Then, there are the sales reps who know they are selling stock to a business that does not need it.

Shame on them. Shame on them for putting their own financial rewards ahead of the evidence of an overstocked and financially stressed business. Salespeople doing this are no friend of the business owner.

The Black-and-White Solution

If you have stock in boxes and no room to display it, you must consider pausing your spending. Give yourself time to convert those purchases to cash.

The best way to address being overstocked is to stop buying and sell down what you have, and to do so without emotion.

The alternative is that you do nothing, and your ability to pay bills is impacted.

The alternative is that you do not address the issue, and the issue swamps you and your business.

It’s your business. You choose when to spend and when to not spend. The choice is black and white—in your numbers and in your business.

AI: Levelling the Playing Field for Small Business Retailers

November 3, 2025
3 Min read
A

You might have seen the news this past week that Coles is rolling out an enterprise-wide partnership with OpenAI. When we saw that story at Tower Systems, our first thought wasn’t about the competition. It was: “This is fantastic news.”

This move by a retail giant validates what Tower Systems has been focused on for some time: AI isn’t just a gimmick for the big end of town; it’s a genuine “competitive game-changer” for independent, local retailers, including jewellers, bike shops, gift shops, produce businesses, newsagents and other small businesses we serve. It’s leveling the playing field. And the best part? You don’t have to wait. While Coles is just announcing their plans, local, independent retailers are already using powerful AI tools every single day.

We recently made a video discussing this, where we highlighted how Tower Systems has been embedding AI tools from OpenAI, Google Gemini, and others directly into our point-of-sale software for a long time now. It’s not about “future tech”; it’s about practical tools that solve real problems for small business owners.

In the video, we discuss how our customers are already using AI to:

  • Save hours of admin by automatically analyzing and importing virtually any supplier invoice, with no special setup required.
  • Market smarter by generating unique product descriptions and blog posts that speak in their business’s authentic voice.
  • Boost profitability with plain-English reports that identify what’s not selling, what’s overstocked, and even potential theft, long before it becomes a major issue.
  • Prevent lost sales by getting alerts on popular items you’re about to run out of.

As mentioned in the video, we rely on these and more AI tools in our own retail shop – to save time, make better-informed decisions, and run a smarter, more efficient shop.

This technology is here, it’s accessible, and it’s already making a fundamental difference for local businesses. The Coles announcement is a great signal for the entire retail sector and all who serve it that AI is no longer an option; AI is an essential part of modern retail.

We encourage you to watch the video to see a full breakdown of what this means for local small business retail and how you can leverage this power in your own independent business today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwRHiHlWcVg

As you can probably tell, we’re excited about AI. It makes accessible to small business retailers opportunities for more effectively competing – as plenty are already finding. It’s a terrific opportunity for efficiency and growth.

And, when you’re researching AI, get to the facts. Some software companies say they have AI tools, when they don’t. It’s important you see for yourself what’s available today as this matters

10 Everyday Marketing Tips That Work for Any Small Retail Business

November 1, 2025
3 Min read
1

We get to see many different retail businesses in our work with local small business retailers and along the way, we pick up ideas that work particularly well. Here is a selection of everyday marketing tips we see working in almost any local retail business.

1. Master the Entrance

First impressions matter. Always have a value-proposition offer just inside the entrance to the business. This should be a double-sided offer—one they see as they enter and as they leave.

2. Optimise the Counter

Always have an appealing impulse purchase offer at the counter. Change this weekly. Use the opportunity to learn more about what your customers will purchase on impulse. Your counter can be far more successful than you imagine.

3. Leverage Your Bestseller

Always know your top-selling items in the store. Thoughtfully place products next to that top-selling item to leverage the eyeballs looking for (and at) it. Note that top selling items change.

4. Rethink Loyalty

Run a generous loyalty program where the value is easily and clearly understood. This probably means not using points – what’s a point worth?

5. Create Unexpected Window Displays

Create stunning window displays that people would not expect to see in your type of business. Make them stop and look.

6. Encourage Multi-Buys

Offer multi-buy opportunities that unlock savings for people purchasing more than would be usual in a single visit.

7. Be Brief and Entertaining on Social Media

Be brief when talking to customers about your products on social media.

  • Post a single product per post.
  • Use two short sentences.
  • Make the post appealing beyond just trying to promote your business. Entertain them.

8. Get Personal

Send customers a card for special occasions. A personal card reinforces the personal relationship you have with them.

9. Keep the “First Two Metres” Fresh

Change the front two metres of your shop weekly. Keep it fresh for your customers and your staff.

10. Unpack on the Shop Floor

Unpack and price products on the shop floor, not in the back room or outside of a shopper’s view. This activity creates a sense of newness and engagement.

Your Goal: Start Today

Our goal with this list is to give you ideas you can use right away, as well as ideas that will get you thinking of your own.

Go for it. Remember, if you do next week what you did this week, you cannot expect any growth. Growth only comes from change.

Our software is an alternative to CirclePOS, something a CirclePOS software customer could consider if they have decided to look around.

With our Tower Systems bookshop software, you are in control of your data. There is no community dataset, no opportunity for others to control how you describe a product. We have bookshop owners and staff who love this as they can put their own spin on describing a book.

One dataset if you have multiple shops.

If you have more than one shop, they share a common inventory dataset. There is no need for separate instances. You can easily transfer products and you can get a whole of business performance perspective.

In the internet is down, no worries.

You can run our software 100% in the cloud or on your desktop. You choose what’s best for you, and you can change over at any time. This allows you to configure the business should be somewhere the internet is patchy.

Pay for the software, not based on your transactions.

We have priced our POS software fairly. We done;t think it’s right for us to charge based on what you sell. If you grow the business, which we hope you do, you keep the rewards of that growth.

Have a say in software enhancements.

Our transparent Software Ideas platform makes it easy for any of our customers to suggest and vote on enhancements. It’s truly unique and has helped us discover some wonderful software enhancements over the years.

Awesome loyalty tools.

We could see people were tiring of points type loyalty programs 15 years ago so we crated alternatives in our software while maintaining support for points. Today, we have a loyalty offer shoppers understand and love. It absolutely helps drive retail success – bringing shoppers back more often and getting them buying more in a visit. It’s easy to create and changes to settings are immediate.

Connect to the tools you already use.

Our software is built to be the hub of your business, not a closed box. We offer deep, two-way integrations with leading e-commerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce, ensuring your in-store and online stock levels are always in sync. This single view of inventory prevents overselling and saves hours of admin. Beyond your website, we also connect directly with accounting software, like Xero, streamlining bookkeeping and saving time.

The 5 steps to finding the right software for your shop

October 30, 2025
5 Min read
T

Finding the right software for any shop is vital for the right software can add tens of thousands of dollars to the bottom line of your business. The wrong software, on the other hand, can cost a retail business tens of thousands of dollars.

The right software is the software that best serves your needs for a cost that is genuinely affordable and is flexible for you as the business evolves.

Here are our recommended 5 steps to finding the right software for your shop.

Step 1: be sure of what you need.

Make a note of everything you want to use the software for, with sub notes as to the detail. Make notes about the service expectations you have – for example, how easy is support to access, what are the hours of availability, what additional training options are there, is there a process for suggesting software enhancements.

The more detailed your approach before engaging any company the better the outcome for you. This is not something to wing.

Choose the software and the team behind it and not one individual.

Step 2: know your budget.

How much do you want to spend monthly all up for all terminals in your business and any additional facilities you want to use? Is the contract a lock-in or can you quit at any time? How do you pay? Are there any additional costs – some software companies require you to use a specific payments platform for transactions in the shop, which can have a cost beyond average.

Total cost of ownership is a thing – be sure you fully understand this for each POS software package you consider.

Good software companies are transparent about their pricing.

Step 3: see it for yourself.

Have the software demonstrated to you, completely to your satisfaction, covering every area of the software you request. Ask many questions. Get them to record the demonstration and give you a copy – their response speaks to their transparency.

If you are not sure, see it again. A good software company will welcome demonstrating the software to you again.

Each demonstration is an opportunity to learn more about the software company as well as the software itself.

Step 4: do it yourself.

Don’t outsource this. Do the work yourself. Treat it as the big decision it is. Take your time. Raise every doubt you have. Get every promise in writing. The more thorough your approach, the better the outcome for your business.

Consultants can be helpful. But, they are not the ones who will use the software, and, sometimes they can bring a bias to consideration that is not in the interests of your specific business.

Step 5: get to it.

Okay, you’ve made your decision. Now work it, get the most from it. Learn it well and make sure all in your business do too. Use it. Push it. Treat it as an asset that needs to deliver a return. Prove through your approach that your homework paid off.

A bonus step: be in control.

Take your time. Make the decision when you are ready. Beware tricks and manoeuvres designed to get you to make a decision when you are not read.

This is your decision to make, when you are ready.

Choosing your software is not just a one-off purchase; it’s the start of a long-term relationship with the software provider. The company you choose will become a key partner in your business operations. Their approach to service, their culture of innovation, and their understanding of your specific retail needs will directly impact your ability to grow and adapt. This is why Step 1 (being sure of what you need) and Step 3 (seeing it for yourself) are so critical—you are not just assessing a product, you are assessing a partner.

The advice provided here will stand the test of scrutiny. Our approach here at Tower Systems is to provide transparent advice on which you can rely. If at any time in our discussions with a prospective customer we feel we are not the right fit for a business, we will say so.

Our ideal POS software customer is a local independent small retail business, a specialty retail business with no more than 10 retail outlets. Most of our customers have one shop. Our focus on small businesses gives us a customer community where all are equal.

As a company based in Hawthorn, Victoria, we are situated to serve Australian and near by businesses well. We are grateful to count plenty of shops in New Zealand as customers.

How retailers who buy products from Tonic can easily import their invoices

October 29, 2025
3 Min read
H

Check out this new video from us demonstrating how easily the AI tools in our POS software can import an invoice from Tonic, a wholesaler in this space.

In the demanding environment of specialty retail, operational efficiency is vital.

Manual data entry, particularly the task of processing supplier invoices, remains an operational bottleneck. T

his necessary chore consumes valuable hours and carries the inherent risk of human error, which can lead to costly discrepancies in inventory, pricing, and financial records.

Tower Systems is actively addressing this critical pain point through a suite of advanced AI tools integrated directly into its POS software. A standout feature of this suite is the intelligent invoice importing system, which is engineered to automate and simplify what was once a laborious manual process.

The system’s flexibility allows it to manage imports from a diverse range of suppliers. For instance, retailers working with wholesalers like Tonic, which supplies gift shops and other businesses, can import invoices with remarkable ease and speed. The AI-driven tools are designed to interpret and process various formats, making the transition to automation seamless. We recently demonstrated this capability for a retailer, showcasing how an invoice from Tonic could be imported accurately in virtually no time at all.

The impact of this technology is both immediate and quantifiable. “I am saving 5 hours a week,” one retailer shared, highlighting the significant time recovery.

Beyond time savings, the automation introduces a new level of data integrity. By removing manual keying, the AI drastically reduces costly human errors. This enhanced accuracy ensures that stock levels are correct, pricing is reliable, and financial reporting is based on sound data.

The business case is compelling. Saving time and eliminating data entry mistakes directly contribute to a healthier bottom line by preventing margin erosion from errors and reducing labor costs. More strategically, this efficiency gain liberates skilled team members from repetitive back-office tasks. This allows the business to refocus its most valuable resource—its people—on high-value activities. Staff can concentrate on enhancing customer care, strategically managing inventory, analyzing sales trends, and driving business growth.

The AI invoice import function is a key component of a comprehensive suite of proven AI tools embedded within the Tower Systems platform. Tower Systems has been a pioneer in this space for over three years, continuously developing and enhancing its AI capabilities with each software update. This commitment to innovation ensures that local small business retailers are equipped with powerful, modern tools that enhance their competitive ability.

Tower Systems is dedicated to developing and supporting practical, effective solutions. Our innovation is designed to help small business retailers innovate in their own right, streamlining operations so they can focus on what truly matters: serving their customers and growing their business.
