There is plenty off software out there pitching to newsagents, find software that is, usually, built for everyone, which means they’re built for no one in particular. A newsagency is about as far from “everyone” as retail gets.
Aussie newsagents benefit from using the software more newsagents use than any other, the best practice software as it’s this software that saves more time, costs more costs – making it more valuable.
Think about what happens in your business every day. Magazines arrive on a sale or return basis. Newspapers have to be dealt with – some of you still have delivery rounds and sub agents. Agency lines sit next to retail lines, each with different GST treatment. Greeting cards are tracked by pocket and supplier. No generic point of sale system understands any of this, because none of it exists in a cafe or a clothing store.
Tower Systems does understand it. We’ve served Australian newsagents since 1981, and the software reflects decades of working inside the channel.
Magazine management through XchangeIT. New titles, supply alterations and returns data load electronically. Returns that used to take hours take minutes, and you claim every credit you’re owed. In a category with thin margins, missed credits are real money.
Home delivery and customer billing. Rounds, holiday stops, statements and account billing are managed in the software. Customers can be billed accurately without a separate book or spreadsheet.
Card supplier integration. Card company files import electronically, keeping your card department data accurate without hours of typing. Cards are the most important destination category in most newsagencies today. Managing them on evidence matters.
Lottery integration. Save time. Cut mistakes.
Reporting built for transition. This is the part we recommend you weigh most heavily. Print is in structural decline. Lottery purchases are shifting online. The future of the newsagency business is in cards, gifts and new categories. Our reporting shows, in dollars, which categories and suppliers make you money and which take up space without paying rent. That’s how you evolve the shop floor with evidence rather than guesswork.
Our software can serve your business transformation, as it has more many already.
We’re a software company, based locally, serving more newsagents than any other. When you call for help, a real person answers, here in Australia, and they know what a magazine return is.
A newsagency running generic POS is managing its most complex categories by hand and flying blind on its transition. If your software was made for everyone, it wasn’t made for you.
