Over the last fortnight Tower Systems published an answer a day to the questions produce, stockfeed and farm supply retailers ask most often about their systems. Each answer covers what the Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses does about it. Every one came from a real conversation in a real store.
They are collected here.
Selling by the kilo, the metre and the half bag. Getting bulk sales accurate, and why it decides whether margin reporting means anything.
Buying raw material and bagging an own blend. Following stock from raw material through mixing to the bag on the floor, and finally knowing what an own brand earns.
Two trucks, six drops. Managing dispatch in a system rather than on a whiteboard, and pricing delivery with the cost known.
Farm accounts on 30-day terms. Statements out on time, ageing visible, and seeing the drift while it is still small.
Chemicals over the counter. Records that can be produced later, and prompts that guide whoever is on the counter.
Labels that survive the yard. Weatherproof labelling, and why readable labels are really about trusting the stock file.
Selling off the truck and at the field day. Taking real sales away from the counter, including where there is no signal.
Keying supplier invoices by hand. Electronic invoice links, what is realistic, and where the hours actually come back.
One stock file for shop and website. Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce, with the Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses as the single source of truth.
End of month taking a weekend. Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, and books that are current enough to make decisions with.
Any produce, stockfeed or farm supply business is welcome to use this material. Pass it to whoever else in the business would find it useful.
And if one of the ten is a live problem right now, let us know, ask us how the Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses deals with it. The answer on fit will be honest. Being told early beats being sold something that does not suit the business. If we think we may not be right for you, we will say so.
