There is a huge difference in newsagency software solutions. So much has changed in terms of technology and so much has changed in terms of the needs of newsagency businesses and the suppliers with which they connect.
- AI use among newsagencies is bigger than ever. I am personally using this in my own newsagency every day. It’s a true game-changer.
- Direct supplier connections are more abundant than ever.
- Newsagents using tech to transform their businesses is more widely the experience than ever. I’m yet to find a supplier invoice PDF that I can’t import in seconds. This is saving so much time.
- Newsagents selling online more so than ever before. I know of newsagents doing $400,000 a year online and more through a Shopify website direct connected to their in-store newsagency software.
- Reduced accounting and other overheads thanks to direct integrations.
These are some of the advances in newsagency software, advances that typically save many times the cost of the software to the business.
AI is the big news though. I can’t imagine using newsagency software that does not have embedded AI tools. The changed everyday are that considertable.
The extent of change in newsagency software and the benefits delivered is reflected in newsagency choices. Tower Systems dominates the marketplace now with more than 1,800 newsagent customers.
Newsagency software today looks nothing like just a few years ago. It does more, delivers more tangible benefits.
Now if all this reads like a pitch for Tower Systems, it is. I sold Tower Systems last year. I am writing this today as a newsagent using the Tower Systems newsagency software in my newsagency – a business run under management successfully.
Modern newsagency software has moved beyond transaction processing to become a truly transformative force. That’s what I am experiencing.
The integration of AI, the seamless handling of supplier invoices, robust e-commerce capabilities, and direct accounting integrations collectively streamline operations and significantly reduce overheads.
This technological evolution saves substantial time and money. Best of all, it empowers newsagents to embrace new revenue streams and efficiencies, fundamentally reshaping how they operate and thrive in today’s dynamic retail landscape.
Take a look at your newsagency software and make sure it is delivering for you what you want / need in a rapidly changing marketplace.
