What's the best POS system for a retail business in Australia?
If you use a search engine like Google to search for: What's the best POS system for a retail business in Australia? you are likely to get results that are not what you want for your retail business.
First off, the best is subjective. Many of the lists of the best POS system in Australia are put together by marketing agencies and people. Often, they make money from listing companies or from when you click on a link they provide
Look into the business or people behind a best of list you have found. What is their experience in retail, your type of retail, that qualifies them for curating a best of list that you can trust?
Searching for the best can feel like you're saving time. It's likely you're not saving time because the results will not be the best as you are likely to assess them.
Tower Systems is rarely on any of the best POS system lists because we don't pay to be on them. We made this decision when we realised that there was no professional assessment of the software, no review or test that lead to a company being listed as a best.
In our experience looking at many best of lists, best of lists are not actually the best.
It is understandable that people think searching for the best of something, like the best POS system in Australia, will give them a result that is suitable for them. The thing is, searching for the best POS system for your business starts with your business.
If you want the best POS system for your business, it starts with you, your specific business needs. It's critical you come to this knowing what you want from POS software.
For example, if customers visit your business infrequently, you might benefit from a loyalty program that leans into this. Or, if you sell products by weight or length, you might benefit from POS software that handles this. Or, if you have recurring charges, you may benefit from POS software that supports this. Or, if products you sell have serial numbers, you may benefit from POS software that tracks serial numbers.
These are only a few of the many specialty retail business facilities available in specialty retail POS software. Tower Systems offers POS software that covers these specialty retail business needs and more.
If you see your retail business as unique in any way, you need POS software that supports your uniqueness, that leverages it for your advantage. Generic POS software is unlikely to do this as it is made for mass, for average.
So, start with what you need, prioritise your list and search for software that handles your top two or three needs. That type of search is more valuable for you as it is about what your business needs.
This approach may feel like it will take more time. It will take more time. The benefits for you and your business will be more considerable. You will make more money from choosing the right software.
