Since mid 2022, newsagency software had offered embedded AI tools to help newsagents in a range of ways. Tower Systems was first with this and continues to innovate with enhanced facilities that target saving time, enhancing decision making and revealing the unknown abut a business using the software.
Newsagents can choose whether they use the AI tools or not in their software. Here are some ways newsagents are using the AI tools in newsagency software already:
- Discovering potential in-store theft.
- Uncovering guaranteed sales opportunities from missed inventory purchases.
- Knowing what stock to target that has sat unsold for too long.
- Generating SEO tuned product descriptions.
- Generating appealing and SEO tuned longer form product descriptions for online sales.
- Capturing product images and other details without having to manually load these.
A key difference with the AI tools is that the retailer does not had to think, oh, I should go looking for this information. The AI tech., pushes the insights, the opportunities, cutting the time involved by the retailer. It presents the opportunity along with the data to back up the advice / recommendations.
Retailers are time poor and they don’t know what they don’t know. The AI tools never tire and they are always on and available with advice and insights.
I have seen retailers save hours each month. I’ve also seen some make thousands extra in sales as a result of leveraging the insights from the AI tools.
AI facilities are real and available for newsagents. They are a game changer. I say that based on what’s out there now. What’s coming in the next couple of weeks is a generational leap in AI tools for newsagents that will take the benefits to a whole new level. I have been playing with them and they are exciting.
Ai is not something to ignore, not something to think it’s in the future and not practical for today. Too many small business retailers are already making money using these AI tools. They are an opportunity for getting ahead faster, making more money, achieving more with less. It’s exciting.
The integration of AI within newsagency software signifies a pivotal shift in how retailers operate. By proactively identifying theft, uncovering hidden sales potential, and optimising inventory management, these tools empower newsagents to make data-driven decisions, enhance efficiency, and ultimately increase profitability.
The future of newsagency software promises a new era of automation, intelligence, and unprecedented success for retailers who embrace these transformative technologies.
These AI tools are key to the newsagency of the future.
