Industry standard software for newsagents

With 1,750 newsagencies in the Tower Systems newsagency software community, it’s the industry standard software solution. While, for sure, there are a couple of other software programs being used in newsagencies, the scale of the Tower newsagent community sets it apart. I an grateful to newsagents for their trust and support and proud to be part of the channel as a supplier, and as a newsagent.

Folks who run traditional newsagencies love the software because it handles the traditional requirements well. Folks who run newsagencies that are different, outside what is usual love the software, too, because of how it serves outside what has been traditional for newsagency businesses.

Tower Systems is a unique newsagency software company in that it owns and runs newsagency businesses. The company bought its first newsagency in February 1996. It has owned newsagencies ever since – using its newsagency software, walking in the shoes of customers, providing all staff with a live testing space and learning more about the software / retail business interface in a way that is valuable for all Tower Systems customers.

Beyond the newsagency software itself, Tower Systems helps newsagents with marketing advice, theft mitigation advice and a range of other management level supports and assistances. We believe in this quintessential Australian retail channel and appreciate opportunities to genuinely help newsagents run better and more successful businesses.
