POS software built for independent toy shops
A toy shop is not a gift shop and not a convenience store. It’s a toy shop, unique in plenty of ways. It carries stock that behaves differently to almost any other retail category.
Hundreds of lines from dozens of suppliers. Assorted cartons where the contents vary. High-value items that need tracking individually. Products that arrive flat and need assembly. A trading year with an extreme peak.
Tower Systems builds point of sale software for independent toy retailers in Australia and New Zealand, made locally and supported locally.
Assorted stock from many suppliers
Toy shop buying produces long, messy supplier deliveries. The software handles assorted items from multiple suppliers, so a delivery becomes a manageable receipt rather than an afternoon of keying.
Supplier invoices can be imported automatically using the built-in AI tools, which removes most of the typing from the process.
Serial number tracking for high-value lines
Where a product justifies individual tracking, the software records it by serial number. That gives an exact history for the item, which matters for warranty claims and for anything expensive enough that a customer will come back about it.
Instructions printed on the receipt
Products that need assembly, or that have age guidance or care requirements, can carry that information on the receipt.
This is a small feature with a real effect. The customer leaves with the instructions attached to the proof of purchase, which reduces the phone calls that follow a weekend of birthday parties.
Bundles that build the basket
The software lets you create custom bundles at a set price.
Buy one, get one free promotions can be set up and run at the register, which suits school holidays and seasonal events.
Loyalty that rewards at the counter
Instant loyalty benefits let you reward a customer at the moment of purchase, with a discount or with points, rather than asking them to wait for a benefit that arrives later.
Exclusive pricing can be offered to members of local community groups, schools, kindergartens and clubs. For a toy shop, that is a direct line into the households that buy most often.
AI built into the software
AI is integrated inside the software, with connections to ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Anthropic.
Toy retailers use it to import supplier invoices, generate product descriptions for the website in seconds, compare prices, and get plain-language answers out of business reports. The tools are included rather than charged as an extra.
Connected to your website
Stock managed in the software can be sold online through the Shopify link, with product detail and images flowing out and online sales flowing back into the software.
BigCommerce, Magento and WooCommerce connections are available. Xero integration handles the accounting side.
What the monthly cost includes
- Software licences for unlimited computers in the location.

Built with toy retailers, not for them
The software continues to change based on what toy retailers ask for. Tower Systems works directly with retailers and with suppliers to the channel, and the development list is shaped by those conversations.
