Helping newsagents deal with changes to magazine deliveries

As the delivery of magazines moves to one day a week, Tower Systems has published a training video covering how newsagents can easily handle this in the ir newsagency software.

The Tower newsagency software is used now by close to 1,900 newsagents.

Now while we’re talking about newsagency software, here’s what I think makes good newsagency software:

  • Is easy to use.
  • It genuinely saves you time.
  • It actively helps you make more money.
  • Is updated regularly.
  • Can be accessed from anywhere.
  • Helps you sell anywhere.
  • Connects with suppliers.
  • Is integrated with The Lott for seamless lottery transaction sales management.
  • Handles newspaper home delivery as some newsagents still do this themselves.
  • Handles publication prices on different days of the week.
  • Easily manages publication price changes.
  • Manages sub agent accounts.
  • Handles product putaways for customers.
  • Manages special orders for customers.
  • Integrates direct with Shopify, Woo Commerce, Big Commerce and more.
  • Connects with roster apps.
  • Connects with delivery apps.
  • Connects with Xero.
  • Facilitates pre-selling products.

And so so much more than this list. Good newsagency software is all of this and more. It is flexible too, and constantly evolving given that the needs of the Australian newsagency channel are constantly evolving.

I know, I am biased. I founded Tower Systems and while I sold that business a year ago I remain actively involved. So, yes, I am biased. The thing is though, newsagents have noted and Tower is the industry standard.

This all matters because our channel is rapidly changing and you need software that can change with you, software than can serve the needs of an evolving business. Given the diversity of retail businesses served by its vertical market POS software, Tower can be of service to you.

Sure there are the newsagency specific needs, like changing the day of delivery ion magazines. The real opportunities like is time saving, strategic decision support and gross profit growing decisions you can make from the right newsagency software.

I own and run a newsagency and use the software daily. This is the biggest difference that Tower leverages for newsagents. I’m grateful to have owned and run newsagencies since February 1996. It was a game-changer then and continues to contribute to the software wonderfully today.

    The change has not gone well at all. We didn’t have and new magazines for two days last week.
