Plenty of selling in the produce / stockfeed / farm supply channel happens away from the counter.
A delivery driver takes an extra order at the gate. A staff member is at a field day for three days. There is a market, a show, a sale day. In each case business is being done a long way from the shop, and often somewhere the mobile signal is poor or absent.
The usual workarounds are a duplicate book, a docket pad, or a note on a phone. All of them create the same job: someone re-enters it later, from someone else’s handwriting, days after the fact. Stock is wrong in the meantime and something always gets missed.
Retailer Roam, part of the Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses, processes sales away from the store. Off the truck, at a field day, at a market. It works when an internet connection is unavailable, which matters more in this channel than in most.
With Henty Machinery Field Days running 22 to 24 September, this is timely. For any business exhibiting, taking a real sale — with the stock recorded and the customer captured — is a different outcome to a pile of dockets to process the following week.
Three things change once selling away from the counter runs through the Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses.
Stock accuracy holds, because the sale is a sale in the system rather than a note to be entered later.
Customer records grow. A name and a contact captured at a field day is worth something for the rest of the year, particularly for a business building an email list.
And nobody is doing double work. No one spends the Monday after an event keying three days of paper.
If selling happens away from the counter and it currently means paperwork later, send Tower Systems a note on how it works today and ask what the Tower Systems software for produce / stockfeed / farm supply businesses would change. The answer on fit will be honest. If it is not a fit, that will be said.
