Best practice invoices make life easy for newsagents

Check out how easy it is to load an invoice from Hunter Leisure into newsagency software:

Hunter is managing fulfilment for Ty products (Beanie Boos) in Australia now.

For suppliers: what makes the Hunter Leisure invoice so good is the clear labelling and inclusion of product barcodes. This example from Hunter is gold standard.

For retailers: this import uses the AI import tools in the Tower Systems newsagency software. More than 1,800 newsagents have access to this software. the AI tools are proving to be a game-changer: saving time, reducing mistakes and facilitating money making business decisions.

I am using AI tools everyday in my own shop, as I mention here:

I get that for some, AI feels too hard to understand. It’s not. AI tools embedded in POS software are helping local independent retailers every day. If you are not using them, you are not competitive.

I’m serious.

I know of newsagents who have cut labour costs by $175.00 a week by using the AI tools. That’s a $9,100.00 saving a year. And that’s for one of many AI tools in the software.

If you want a profitable retail business, using AI tools is essential.

In the Tower Systems newsagency software, newsagents can use AT tools to:

  1. Import supplier invoices without needing EDI files.
  2. Compare prices with retailers nearby.
  3. Generate blog posts that drive traffic to the business website.
  4. Generate product descriptions quickly that help your products be found.
  5. Receive a text summary of trading for the day with meaningful local data insights beyond what POS software usually reports.
  6. Be told if theft may be an issue in the business.
  7. See revenue you’re missing thanks to AI driven inventory watch tools.
  8. See what product pairings could drive additional revenue from impulse purchases.

These AI tools in the Tower Systems newsagency software and more are helping engaged newsagents fundamentally change their approach to business decisions and in-store actions.

To use these tools you don’t need to be a tech expert, an AI specialist. They are embedded in the Tower Systems software and are accessible as part of the everyday use of the newsagency software.

Newsagents and other small business retailers often speak about being time-poor and the cost of labour in the business. The AI tools address both pain points. They save time, which can save labour costs.

Using the AI tools all comes down to whether you want to save your time or the cost of time of staff in the business.
