Why New Zealand Retailers Choose Tower Systems
Choosing POS software is one of the most important decisions a small business owner can make. Here is what sets Tower Systems apart for New Zealand retailers.
Our software handles New Zealand's GST requirements correctly. Pricing, receipts, and reporting are all configured for the NZ tax environment.
We integrate with the payment terminals and providers used by New Zealand retailers, including Linkly. No workarounds required.
Connect directly to Xero — the accounting platform most NZ small businesses rely on — and save hours on bookkeeping every week.
Our support team operates during New Zealand business hours, including Saturdays. You speak to a real person, not an offshore call centre.
Unlike many overseas POS platforms, Tower Systems does not charge a fee per transaction. Your costs are predictable.
Pay monthly. Cancel at any time. We earn your business every month.
